Through the love and care of Paws Patrol volunteers he survived and today is a healthy kitty who loves to sit in the window and watch the birds, have his soft fur brushed and his belly rubbed. Miracle is currently in a foster home learning how to adjust in a home setting. His “miracle” would be complete if a loving and very patient family would adopted him.

HOPE — BEAGLE MIX
Age: 6 years.
Story: Hope was a stray in a neighborhood where the neighbors fed her and tried to catch her but could not. Finally, she was humanely trapped and taken to the shelter. At first, she was very shy of humans, but she has improved significantly since coming to rescue.
She still tends to be afraid of big males in uniforms, but we believe in time she will overcome this.
She enjoys the company of other dogs. We are looking for an adopter who has a doggy companion for Hope, who appreciates Hope’s need to continue honing her socialization skills with people, and who will keep her well contained in a safe yard and on leash at all times, due to her history of being a stray and shy of people.
Once Hope gets used to you, she will be your best friend for life. Hope weighs about 55 pounds and could stand to lose about 5 pounds. She also has the softest fur you will ever feel!
Fee: $150.
Contact: Southern Arizona Beagle Rescue, 520-247-7720, or www.soazbeaglerescue.com.
Meet: By appointment.

Needs playtime, as she’s still young enough to need exercise.
Fee: $80.
