Red - March 20 2017
We have attached a picture of our sweet boy RED. Red was adopted from TBBR 4 years and 7 months ago. In July 2015 we learned Red had an inoperable lung tumor and we were told he would have 2-5 months...we then decided to take Red on many vacations. He passed away peacefully Monday March 20th. He survived 8 months. In Red's honor we will be adopting another beagle fur baby from your wonderful organization.


Reno - October 2014
Attached is a photo of Reno on his first and last days with us. We adopted Reno from TBBR on May 17, 2008 when he was about a year old; he was a constant source of amusement in our house. Reno never outgrew the puppy or his need to be the center of attention; this proved to be somewhat of a challenge when our granddaughter came along, but they did become great friends. We thought we had lost Reno in 2010 when he escaped and was hit by a car and fractured his pelvis in 3 places and dislocated a leg. He came through with flying colors and you would never know it happened to see him running up and down (and leaping off of) the stairs. This summer, he developed a tumor on his front leg about the size of a ping pong ball. The vet told us in August that it was inoperable and could be either fully invasive or only locally. By October, it was clear that it was affecting more than just his leg, so after consulting with the vet, we made the decision to let him go. We and his brother Lucas (also a TBBR adoptee) miss him greatly! Steve and Jamie (Danker) Walter


Reuben ATB 8/06/06
Reuben.....what can I say about such a gentle hound? He graced us with his presence, and it was an honor to know this old man. He was mostly blind, and deaf, he had congestive heart failure, but what a spirit to share! He could make you laugh and realize that despite any problems, there was always good things in your life too. He loved everyone he met, and they loved him. And most of all, we loved him. wen and Pat


Rita 04/14/2008
Our dear "Rita Rita Bergita" crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning at 9:20 am. She had lost her battle with what we believe was either Crohn's disease or colon cancer. She had lost every ounce of muscle on her body in her last 4 days and could no longer lift her head. Fortunately she waited for me to return so I could spend her last 24hrs telling her how much we loved her. She was the perfect dog and she will be dearly missed. Now she can eat all the cheeseburgers that she wants. Rikkele


Rocky
It is with a great deal of sadness that I notify you and the loving members of Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue that our Rocky passed away this afternoon at around 2:00PM. We had taken him to the vet for confirmation of his diagnosis of thryroid cancer, which they confirmed. We were going to have him put to sleep in the afternoon, but he gave us a very precious and special gift of sparing us that pain, and slipped into his eternal rest on his own. We adopted Rocky (adopted as Bruno IV) on October 11, 2008. He has been his "mama's boy" ever since, following me all around the house. He actually chose me when we came to the meet and greet, never leaving my side after we were introduced to him at the park. He was a wonderful addition to our family, and really took to his newer younger brother, Merlin, who we adopted in May of this past year. I am so thankful that he had some really good times with him before he started to show signs of illness around October. Thank you, beagle rescue, for introducing us to Rocky. He will live on forever in our hearts. We will remember him as the little dog who kept on giving to us, even after he crossed over the rainbow bridge into doggy heaven. Not only did he give us the gift of letting go, so we did not have to put him under, but he gave us another special gift. When we took his remains to the SPCA to be cremated, they saw we had adopted his younger brother in May from them, and went on to share some more information about the dog we had adopted. Seems Merlin, Rocky's little brother, came from a very bad and abusive home. They were so happy to hear that he is being taken care of and loved on, and has made a complete recovery from a very abusive situation. We would have never known that part of Merlin's story unless we had taken Rockys remains there. I believe it was Rocky's gift to us, to help us appreciate his little brother that much more, and remind us that he appreciated the love and care we showed for him. He will be greatly missed, but we know he is running around in heaven, cancer free, happy and healthy. Kevin, Peggy, Amanda and Tiffany Higgins
