I have a male Beagle myself, Bubbie. I rescued him in the nick of time before he went to the pound. He HAD been abused and was only 8 mths old. Thank GOD we got him. No longer kept ALL THE TIME in a cage in a room with a closed door, only out to relieve himself. He has the run of the house and got along with the cats and Jack Russell Terrier. He thinks this is Heaven, I'm sure. What a lovie he is. We managed to, I HOPE, take away ANY of those bad memories.
IMO, we show just how positively humane we can be by the way we treat other animals with respect and love. Well done with what you're doing with Charlotte.
It is a sad fact of life that many animals suffer abuse of some kind during their lives. Abuse can take the form of physical assaults or punishment - but many suffer from the silent abuse of neglect. please support abused pets by visiting ABUSED-PETS DOT COM
It is a gift to see a formerly abused, neglected animal feel relaxed enough to play. I've got a cat who was abused, and it thrills me every time I see her play.
Thank you so much everyone for your kind comments!
Lacy, you're so right that these dogs rescue us.
We had no intention of adopting a third dog, but that day when her "owners" said they'd bring her to Animal Control by 5 PM, my husband brought her home.
We thought we'd find a better home for her, not realizing it would be OUR home. She stole our hearts, and the hearts of our 2 other dogs AND three cats!
Awsome, funny how we think we're rescuing them and then they really rescue us; I know my PitBull did he was abused as well but he is spoiled rotten now and luckily he was only 9weeks when I got him so he forgot all about it and took over here, the bed, covers and all. YES SHELTER DOGS ROCK, as do ya'll

My perfect world would be having enough land, money, food, etc. to house many dogs, cats, pigs, all animals.

OMG you saw Happy! I didn't think anyone would notice his pouffiness in the background... he's another shelter rescue, of course!
Stimpy and Poo (Pit Bull Mixes) have been Perfect in their behavior with Charlotte. They adopted her too!
Thank you for your kind comments.
