That would likely be a good first step for her to take unless you're interested in adopting him yourself.
That's what I told her. She's discussed it with them, and their policies on rehoming aren't that strict...I don't know what they said about taking him back. I've already poked at her for this whole thing.

I'm not sure how she got that rescue place to give her the dog in the first place. She's an apartment dweller that travels a lot.

Darwin, what a sweet Beagle name...

You should keep him ogts!
Since Charles Darwin sailed on the HMS Beagle, I didn't think it was all that original, but it's still a cute name

And as much as I like dogs and as much as I want one, I've not had a pet in years. So me keeping him is kind of a last resort sort of deal. Not sure I'd be able to handle a house dog, especially a howlin' beagle.* I'm kind of a neat freak and don't like pet hair, I'm mildly allergic, and while my back yard is over 1/2 acre, I do not have -nor do I want- a fence.



*I don't really know if he's a howler.
