Success Story:   We recently adopted this wonderful little old girl named Myrtle from Beagle Rescue, after having to put down our older dog, Rose, on Christmas Eve. We had always tried to adopt the older dogs, but more recently have had a few younger ones because, well, they were special cases in need also.

After Rose let us know it was her time to go, we thought we should get a younger dog for our little Sari bug to play with. Well, it turns out she didn’t need a younger dog, and it was Myrtle that she needed all along. Sari and Myrtle became friends right away.

Sari showed Myrtle the ropes, and especially all the good sniffing places out in the yard. Myrtle loves being outside and the girls are like two little peas in a pod, two little sisters connected at the hip. Since Sari had been our newest dog at one time, now she gets to show Myrtle everything she knows about life here. And Myrtle has given Sari the little boost of confidence that she has needed.

Sari likes to run around the yard and play, and although Myrtle doesn’t run along with her, she seems to cheer her on from the sidelines and Myrtle lets us know that even an old girl has a little bit of puppy left in her sometimes. The two have bonded so quickly that it’s like Myrtle has lived here for years. The two have become so close in such a short period of time.

Myrtle is this sweet little old girl who obviously had known lots of love from being in her foster home. It took her no time at all to settle in here. She is adorable and has the sweetest little way of tilting her head in curiosity. And whenever we are in the kitchen, she loves to be with us there. After all, you never know when a big old hunk of meat could just drop on the floor right in front of her.

Myrtle has turned out to be such a blessing. Myrtle is exactly what our little Sari needed, and she’s just what we needed too! Such a blessing this little old girl has turned out to be. We are so thankful to Myrtle’s foster family and to Beagle Rescue.
