Behind that adorable face lies a horrific past. Part of another unwanted/unneeded litter Little Girl suffered a fate chosen by the human. From birth to about 7 months old she was living in a rabbit hutch with her mom, siblings and whatever other relatives she may have had. Little Girl was born into a family purely bred to hunt which meant they were treated as possessions not pups, fed little amounts to increase their hunting drive, and kept in rabbit hutches outside to prevent them from running. Every so often the shelter receives a batch of Beagles from this residence, and this time Little Girl was lucky enough to be one of the pups to get “downsized”.
We can’t be sure, but we think one of the reasons she was chosen to be surrendered is because of her bowed legs and odd gait. Ironically this is due to poor nutrition, living in a space that is too small while growing, and bad genetics. All faults of the human that had surrendered her. At 8 months old there is little that can be done to help this condition but Little Girl was put on a supplement and given exercises to help correct some of the bowing. Besides looking a bit unusual her bowed legs really do not have an impact on her quality of life. Little Girl still loves to play with her doggy friends and cuddle up with the kiddos at night. Due to the lack of human contact the first 7 months of life Little Girl takes time to warm up to humans. She still cowers and sometimes runs when someone tries to pet her. She is her happiest amongst canine companions and the kiddos. Little Girl is still working on mastering her basic puppy skills of house, crate and leash training. She is looking for a patient understanding family that will give her time to warm up and gradually build a bond. If you think you could be that family email Jonesm4318@gmail.com
Little Girl is ready to meet her forever family!

More about this rescue
A Little "Kibbles & Bits" About Us
Crate Escape is a small family run rescue. We are a family friendly rescue we do not have an age requirement for kids in an adoptive home. We believe that it is better to educate kids on the proper way to care for the pups so they can use the knowledge in the future. All pups from 8 weeks on up are spayed/neutered. All of our pups are in foster care or in our own home. They are all vetted prior to entering their forever homes.
Our Mission "Possible"
With your help you can make our mission possible! Our rescue specializes in saving pups primarily from North and South Carolina in high kill shelters. Believe it or not there is over an 80% euthanization rate for unwanted dogs/puppies. Shelters can be a taboo for dogs especially young puppies. They carry deadly illnesses that puppies are susceptible to such as parvovirus, distemper, etc.
Our second goal is to PROMOTE, ADVOCATE, AND EDUCATE people about the importance of having a pet spayed/neutered. All of our pups (8 weeks +) are spayed & neutered. This is so important in helping us achieve our goal.
