Ready to be Collared: Augusta
NAME: Augusta.
Nickname: Gussie.
OWNER: Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland; foster: Mara Melton.
HOW THEY MET: Animal control in rural Virginia called to say that they had three beagles that needed to be rescued. She was one of them.
AGE: 8 to 10.
HOME: La Plata.
BREED: Beagle.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY: She likes to check things out. She tours the yard, makes sure everything is in order and makes sure the other dogs follow her rules.
FAVORITE FOOD: Liver treats!
FUNNIEST MOMENT: It took the rescue three days to figure out Gussie is … a girl! She was registered by animal control as a male and we took it for granted. Unless, of course, Gussie has some powers we’re not aware of.
DOESN'T MISS A TRICK: Gussie is very much aware of her surroundings. She is an active senior and would enjoy “neighborhood watch” walks. Very little escapes her attention. We think that in her previous life she may have been on the police force…. She will do very well as an only dog or in a home with gentle non-alpha dogs.
IF GUSSIE HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Gotta check it out!
