Glitz and glamor aside, I am a pup that firmly believes in adoption. There are too many dogs (and cats) that are looking for their furever homes and want to share the love and support they are embodied with. They are just as capable to love as a pup who was bought from a breeder. Please opt to adopt.
Many people tend to shy away from rescue and shelter dogs because they are not "perfect." There is no such thing as a "perfect" dog, or a perfect anything! Please give rescue/shelter dogs a chance!
My adopted pupbrother
Buckeye came from a wonderful rescue organization for beagles. He wasn't perfect, but with patience and training he turned out to be fantastic!! If you're considering getting a beagle, please look to rescue organizations, such as the one below. Click on the image to go directly to the site.
IT'S NOT COOL TO BE CRUEL!

The violent subculture of dog fighting has entered the world of professional sports and entertainment in America. The pending grand jury indictment of Atlanta Falcons star quarterback Michael Vick for alleged connections to dog fighting has caused the National Football League to bar Vick from reporting to the beginning of training camp.
Illegal dog fighting is horrifically cruel for the dogs, but also is closely associated with violence, weapons, illegal gambling and drugs.
Wow, I had such a great birthday! The only thing I don't like about it is that I'm now a year older. Plenty of folks have commented that I look great for my age. It appears that I have very little gray on my muzzle. Buckeye is not so lucky, because his muzzle is all gray, and we're both about the same age. I wonder why that is?
My birthday started off with a fun road trip to Indiana. Even though it was raining, it didn't stop me from sticking my head out the window to feel the cool raindrops on my face. I went to Indiana to visit one my favorite humans who is now in a nursing home. His eyes lit up when he saw me. I must admit I was a little antsy, because, like my mama, I really don't like to stay in one place for a long time. I always have to be moving and sniffing somewhere. But he gave me cookies! I was in pup heaven!
We returned home. I think my mama wanted to take me to Petsmart, but it was still raining. So they dropped off Buckeye and I at home and she went about her way. She came back with fun toys and yummy bones to chew on!
It's now day 2, and I just realized I have a long way to go. This guy will NOT leave me alone. He's jumpy, he's tiny, and I secretly think he's enjoying torturing me. I think he has developed some evil plan to make my life miserable.
My mama just ADORES him. She spends all her free time with him. I see her take him out into the yard A LOT. I hear things like "go potty." Then he does and he goes right after me! I think my mama thinks it's cute and laughs.
