Meet Puppi! This adorable little nugget originally belonged to a hunter who got her as a puppy and kept her in a concrete enclosure. She was never let out except to hunt and lived a pretty isolated existence. Sadly, this is the way of life for many Beagles in the south. When her owner realized she would not hunt with his pack, he decided that he was going to sell or breed her. Thankfully, one of our foster moms knew of Puppi’s situation and convinced him to release Puppi to her care. Puppi is only about a year old and is so fortunate to get this second chance.
Puppi has been in her foster home for over a month now, living with a mom, dad, teen daughter, 4 other dogs, and 2 cats. It’s an active home and Puppi has acclimated well to home life. It was an easy integration and she’s a social dog by nature. She meets new dogs well and enjoys running and playing with her pack. She tries to play with the cats too, but in a gentle, curious way, and not at all aggressive.
This adorable girl is still an adolescent, and a typical curious, mischievous Beagle. She has a moderate energy level but loves to play. Everything is a toy to her, so you have to watch her inside. She likes to drag blankets off the bed and clothes out of hampers, but she is not destructive and doesn't chew things up. She is crate-trained and housetrained, but still learning the rules of home life.
Puppi’s leash skills are still a work in progress but have greatly improved since we met her. Initially, she would freeze on leash, not knowing what to make of it, and was fearful around crowded, noisy areas. She needed time to get exposure to the world outside of a concrete pen. But her foster mom has been practicing on leash with her, and she gets better every day. She's still easier to walk in less crowded spaces but has been to a few festivals, breweries, and stores. Once she’s comfortable, she does great meeting new people (even kids) and other dogs. She likes to sniff while she's walking, but she's not led by her nose and has never once tried to leave the yard
We think Puppi would do well as part of a pack or could be an only dog too. She really likes attention from her humans and would enjoy being someone's one and only. We think she’ll make a great family dog and would do well with kids. She likes to be held, is very easy to handle, and is not a mouthy dog. She’s confident and relaxed inside the home, and not startled by sudden movements. We can tell she’s happy to be in a home and part of a family.
This cutie will be coming to town in early May. Apply today!

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to save a dog’s life!
Adding a dog to your family is a rewarding and life-changing experience. Dogs enrich our lives and have the amazing ability to give and receive love unconditionally. They can be your loyal companion and friend, and a watchful playmate for your kids, but they are also a serious, long-term commitment. They will depend on you for their health and well-being, and require an investment of love, time, and money for the rest of their life.
As you search for your new dog, please remember that there is no shortage of dogs who need saving. There are far more dogs waiting to be adopted than people who are willing to adopt them, so if the dog in the picture who you’ve imagined bringing home isn’t available, there are thousands more amazing, loving dogs just hoping for the chance to be your dog. We ask that you keep an open mind, stay flexible, and we will do our best to work with you to find a great match for your family.
We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adopting a dog to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the commitment. If you have thought about what’s required and are ready to adopt, here’s what you can expect when you apply to adopt a dog from Worthy Dog Rescue.
Worthy Dog Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog you apply for will be available once you have been approved. We do our best to work with adopters and meet your needs, but we do not adopt dogs on a first-come, first-serve basis. All applications are screened to determine the most suitable match for the dog and the adopter. We want to place dogs in good homes as quickly as possible, so the dog can start their new life with their family, and we can free up their foster home to save another dog in need.
We understand how easy it is to become attached to a dog you’ve found online, but sometimes the dog you apply for may already be scheduled to meet another adopter, or it may not be the best fit for your home for a variety of behavioral reasons. Our dogs are fostered by one of our volunteers, living in their home as part of their family. This allows us to get to know the dog, what they need, their level of socialization, and the type of home that will best suit them.
Our goal is to place dogs in loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. We take great care in finding good matches for our dogs and adopters too. We look forward to working with you to find the dog that will be with you and your family for many years to come.
