Hello Indiana-PAW Constituents,

Well - you've done it again! You've answered the Indiana-PAW call for help for a Hoosier animal in need, and in so doing, you've helped put a beagle who was shot onto a very happy new path. Within 24 hours of our plea for help for the shot beagle at the Humane Society for Hamilton County, we received more than 15 offers of assistance from readers of the Indiana-PAW e-newsletter. As a result, the little beagle will have his leg saved, will then go into foster care, and then no doubt be adopted to a forever home! We'll let Rebecca Stevens, the Executive Director of the Humane Society of Hamilton County, provide the update:

Amy,

I believe we've found a solution for this little guy. I'm going to work with Houndsong Beagle/Coonhound Rescue out of Chicago [the first rescue agency to respond to Indiana-PAW's plea]. With their expertise on the breed and a database of over 500 Beagle lovers, I think they're best suited to care for him and find him a permanent home.

Because there have been so many folks responding to this, would you mind sending out an update to your [Indiana-PAW] database that we do have someone in place to take him but that we so appreciate everyone's willingness to help.  I've tried responding to everyone individually but I don't want to miss anyone. 

If anyone is interested in sending donations to help cover the cost of his treatment (estimated at $1,000), they can send those to:

THANK YOU!
