Meet Lewey: A Beagle Who Never Gave Up Hope Some dogs come to us with stories that break our hearts but also remind us just how resilient dogs can be. Meet Lewey, a sweet 1 year old, 27.5-pound Beagle who spent approximately four months surviving on his own, wandering as a stray and trying to make it through each day. Despite numerous efforts, no one came forward looking for him, and there were no reports of him missing. Thankfully, Lewey's story took a turn for the better when a compassionate family refused to give up on him. After weeks of trying, they were finally able to safely trap and rescue him. His rescuers immediately got him veterinary care, vaccinations, and, most importantly, a safe place to begin healing. It's clear that Lewey has not always been treated with the kindness he deserves. He can be timid and cautious when meeting new people, but every day, this brave little Beagle is learning that not all humans will hurt him. And the progress he has made is incredible. Lewey absolutely adores other dogs. In fact, his foster family's dog has become his security blanket, best friend, teacher, and confidence coach all rolled into one. He follows his canine buddy everywhere and is learning how wonderful life as a beloved family dog can be. With patience, love, and another friendly dog to show him the ropes, Lewey continues to blossom. A huge thank you to Samantha and her family for refusing to look the other way, for rescuing Lewey, caring for him, and continuing to foster him while he waits for his forever family. Because of your kindness, Lewey's future is brighter than ever. Now, Lewey is ready for the next chapter of his journey, a forever home filled with love, patience, and the security he has always deserved. We know the perfect family is out there waiting for this sweet boy. If you are interested in meeting Lewey, please submit an adoption application through our website.
