I recently came across a quote someplace that, to be honest, is rather realistic. It said that saving pets is 50% sadness and 50% relief.

The first time someone comes upon an abandoned or stray animal, they are struck with real sadness at how many canines are going through this and want to save them all.

The opposite is relief when you witness a rescued puppy at last safe and having a great future with a new home.

These are the most priceless moments a person could wish for their pet, and in this article we will discuss one such rescue story in which a good guy gave a dog a second chance after saving it from euthanasia.

Many pet owners now days turn in their animals and have them put to sleep because the cost of treating their medical issues becomes too great.

Gregory, the Beagle, saw things exactly the same. Prior to a man by the name of Joe Kirk saving him, he was almost executed.

He saved him just two days before his death was supposed to happen. With Joe and his wife Schenley running Hound Rescue and Animal Sanctuary, a non-profit animal rescue organization, this was the ideal result.

With its headquarters in Findlay, Ohio, its main goals are to find new homes for abandoned animals and provide foster care for older, unadoptable dogs.

Gregory is one grateful and appreciative Beagle, Schenley remarked in a Facebook post. His awareness of his safety is complete!

He knows he is in capable hands even though he will be receiving treatment for heartworms! We will get him well, give him the love he so richly deserves, and give him an amazing future!

The Kirks took him to a vet and treated his heartworm disease when he was at last safe and under their care.

Gregory had little wait time since they placed him on the adoption list shortly after his treatment.

A couple who wanted to adopt him knocked on the door. He was brought to his forever house a little while after.

Currently living with his new family, he is relishing his time spent with them and his new beagle sibling.

Beautifully stated, Schenley commented, “We get asked all the time how many dogs we have saved.” We have saved another, is the response that invariably sprang to mind. They will receive all the love and respect they so richly deserve and one more dog is safe.

One additional dog will get required medical attention and be fed appropriately. A devoted lifetime home will be found for one more dog. Nothing more gratifying in life and no better sensation exist.

A little kindness goes a long way with dogs and you can always do more to aid those in need, if that is anything we can learn from this narrative.
