Sadie Mae
7/2023 - Our beloved senior beagle, Sadie Mae, crossed the rainbow bridge Monday afternoon. We rescued her over a year and a half ago in Seffner, FL from an amazing group - Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue. She is much better off and free of any pain or discomfort. She had a great run with us and really blossomed after we helped bring her back to better health. She enjoyed trips to Grove Roots Brewery smelling the BBQ food trucks and socializing, baying, running, neighborhood walks looking for dead worms, cruising our backyard, going to the Saturday market in Winter Haven, eating her lamb ears and dog bones and much much more. She is in now in Heaven with our previous dogs, Mac and Lucy. We will miss you Sadie


Sammy (July 2014)
It is with great sadness that I write to you to inform you that Sammy, the beagle that I adopted from your organization four years ago, passed away on Tuesday, July 22nd. I adopted Sammy (then known as Bobby) in May 2010. I instantly fell in love with him from pictures and a bio on your site and within a few weeks, I had Sammy at home with me. Sammy was a very scared and anxious dog from the start. I knew caring for him would require a lot of patience and work. I can remember that for the first month that I had him, I had to carry him outside to go to the bathroom because he was scared to go on his own. I remember a particular instance when it was nighttime and raining and I was carrying Sammy in the yard, flashlight in my mouth. After about 20 minutes of moving him around the yard, he finally went. :) He finally warmed up to me and was my "Velcro" because he followed me everywhere. He was a great cuddle buddy and could never get enough belly rubs. He often put his head under my hands to encourage me to keep petting him. My family would call him "thumper" because when he would wag his tail, it would hit the couch with a "thud." In 2012, Sammy's yearly blood work was concerning and it was discovered that he was suffering from kidney disease. Despite the special dog food and medications, there was only so much I could do for him. Sammy held on a lot longer than we thought he would and finally, he couldn't hold on any longer. I loved Sammy dearly and miss him terribly. He was loved very much by my parents, siblings, niece and the three other beagles and lab mix in my family. He couldn't have been a better dog and he has a forever place in my heart.


Sarge II 12/04/2007
Our beloved Sarge crossed the rainbow bridge today. He had deteriorated so much in the last week and even more in the last 48 hours. He was so weak he could barely stand and each breath was an effort. There was no question that it was time for us to let him go. He may have only been with us for 2 months but he was our dog and we loved him so much. We knew from the beginning that he wouldn't be with us long so that made us cherish each day with him even more. I know most of you probably never even met him but he was such a sweetheart and had so clearly had such a hard life. He was found as a stray on the streets of Ft Lauderdale and by the grace of God found his way to our home. There are so many things I will miss about him and his silly antics. He can now play and run, free of his cancer-riddled body and any pain. I pray that he crossed the bridge knowing how much we loved him. Rikkele


Sasha April 2015
Today, we mourn the loss of our beloved Sasha. Hands down the most loving obedient dog we ever had. We rescued her, and she rescued us right back. She was struck down and killed by an evil red Prius as she was doing what she loved the most, chasing a cat. CURSE YOU EVIL TREE HUGGERS!!! Rest in peace my baby! Sasha Mar 3, 2005 - April 24, 2015. It was really daddy's fault...I am so sorry. My heart is breaking! We thank God and you all for the time we had with her. She had hip dysplasia, but was responding well the last few months with Novox and numerous glucosamine treats. She is in heaven along with all other dogs, as we all know that All Dogs go to Heaven.


Scarlett (Daisy XI)
7/2023 - Hi, I am TBBR Alumni Scarlett's (Daisy XI) mom. I adopted her in June of 2014. I wanted to let you know that she passed away on Wednesday, the 28th. She was about 16 years old we think. She was surrounded by me and her dad and the whole vet staff at our vet. She knew she was loved until the very end. For the last 3 years, Scarlett was going to cold laser therapy and acupuncture appointments. She had degenerative disc disease, but she was a tough cookie. Without this organization, I would have never had my best friend. Thank you for all you do. Maybe in the future, when my heart hurts a little less, we can become fosters or even adopt again. I think we just need a bit of time. Scarlett was one of a kind and loved more than words can describe.
