Name:   Jade Westmoreland  

Description:   ~ 1-2 years ~ 15 lbs but needs to put on weight ~ currently in Potomac, MD ~

Sweet little stray who has been on the run for a while, based on how skinny she is. A good Samaritan found her and took her to the shelter. She's a loving girl who will require some TLC. She is heartworm positive and will need to gain weight before treatment and spaying.

Success Story:   Hello All!

It's been just over a month since Jade officially moved to her new home with us, and true to everyone's predictions, her sweet, funny, wonderful, very beagle personality is shining through. We are greeted every morning and every time we come home with bright brown eyes, an unstoppable tail, eager energy, and big curiosity about what's coming next. Often, this is followed by an unsubtle request for a belly rubs. She has really come out of her initial shell.

She is still concerned/shy about new people and some new (usually bigger) dogs, but we're working each day on building her confidence with treats and careful introductions while she's out on walks. When we're on our own, she walks around Bethesda and especially the NIH path like she's been here forever, with her head high, chest out, and tail up. And when not, her nose is half an inch from the ground, discovering all the good smells outside, as a good beagle does.

Jade's had her first visit to her new Nebel Street Vet, and we're set for follow-up appointments for kidney function and heartworm. It turns out that the girl also had hookworm, which we're treating now too.

We have to say many thanks to Doris for being a great foster Mom for Jade at her shyest time and for accommodating our schedules for visits before Jade's official adoption. BRSM surely knows how to find good foster folks!

The attached pic is Jade's first visit to Rehoboth Beach on Easter weekend. As she often does, she made lots of friends there and is looking forward to our return visits.

Thanks to all at BRSM for your work rescuing beagles!
