Bijou
7/8/2025 - I knew this day was coming and it didn’t make it any easier. We had to let Bijou run over the Rainbow Bridge this morning. She came to us 17 years ago from the Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue Inc. It was love at first sight. She had a slight case of the mange but we could see her cuteness. Several potential adoptions fell through so i feel she was meant to be with us. Bijou gave us endless amusement and sometimes anxiety. She was a runner and I know she’s running with Roux in dog heaven. Our hearts are broken. We love you endlessly Bijou. Thanks for the unconditional love. There will never be another like you

Chip
1/2025 - I used to say that Mike and Chip made up the two halves of my heart. We lost Chip--aka Chipper, the Regal Beagle - at the end of January, and I 've been walking around with only half a heart ever since. Chip was the center of our world. Now she's gone and nothing feels right. Nothing matters without her here. If you knew Chip and would like to honor her, pelase consider making a donation to Tampa Bay Beagle Resue Inc. They saved our Chip ...then she saved us.

Libby
6/16/2025 - It is with great sadness that we say our goodbyes to our sweet beagle, Libby (fna Sassy III) . We adopted her from you in November, 2014 after hearing her story of abandonment and surviving a boar attack. She lived a month shy of her 15th birthday. She was such a sweet girl but so stubborn and very food motivated. She loved her hikes and camping, too. She must have flunked out of hunting school (she had H25 tattooed in her ear) as she could only hunt turtles. She was so loving and loved by everyone in our family. Snuggling under the blankets was her happy place. Her perch on top of the couch is missing her, too. The house feels empty and we miss her soulful eyes.

Ellie
6/18/2025 - I wanted to reach out and let you know that Ellie passed away on June 18. She was at Blue Pearl Animal Hospital in Tampa where they tried everything to save her. Her sudden death has devastated us. She truly was my companion , we both needed each other. Thank you for sending this special little girl to me. I’ll definitely rescue again.

Raine
6/28/2025 - Raine crossed the rainbow bridge today. On Thursday she refused dinner and couldn't move from her spot on the landing by herself. I figured it was just something like a UTI. Imaging on Friday revealed she had a massive aggressive tumor (hemangiosarcoma) causing internal bleeding. The large white mass in the x-ray is the tumor. We had no idea. The vet advised euthanasia, as a surgery for this type of tumor would only give her a few more months at most. We said our goodbyes to her today. She was the best snuggle buddy, snack snatcher, and pillow/blanket thief!
