About Us
Cascade Beagle Rescue, is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, and the East Coast location was founded in March 2006, for the purpose of rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing unwanted beagles. Our beagles find their way into our program through many venues – from shelters, animal control officers, research laboratories and on rare occasions, as owner surrenders (when space allows). We bring all of our dogs up to date on vaccinations, ensure they are heartworm negative, neutered/spayed and micro-chipped before they go to their forever homes.
Our organization is comprised of a caring network of volunteers. Every dog is fostered in a private home and we try our very best to match pets and new owners based on the best fit for both parties. Because some of our beagles have lived less than happy lives, it is our sole responsibility to make each match work!

About Pattie...
Pattie first entered the world of Beagle Rescue in October, 2004. She was
recruited by the co-founder of Cascade Beagle Rescue's sister site on
the West Coast. Having been brought up with beagles as a child it was
only fitting that her own first dog was a beagle pup named Poky. Poky
was purchased (as a gift!) for her during the holiday season in 1994.
Poky came from a PA breeder and at age 6 was diagnosed with renal
failure. For the next 2 years of her life Poky's health was maintained
through the support of alternative medication and traditional medicine
but she only lived to be 8 years old. When Poky passed, the experience
was so traumatic that Pattie began volunteer work at local shelters
promising that as long as she could save a dog from an untimely death
she would do whatever was needed and eventually Pattie found her way to
rescue. Since Cascade Easts inception, Pattie has fostered and
successfully rehomed more than 100 dogs. Currently she has two beagles
of her own - Penny & Cody. Both are former Laboratory Research dogs who
have adjusted to the real world with amazing speed! Pattie had
volunteered in the past with other beagle rescues and believes that she
has come full circle in co-creating Cascade Beagle Rescue's East coast
hub. One of her favorite events representing Cascade is the J.A.M.M
Motorcycle Run which Pattie founded in honor of former volunteer Joann
Miller. Cascade has brought together kindred spirits with a common goal
and similar philosophies regarding rescuing/rehabilitating and re-homing
unwanted beagles and Pattie hopes that Cascade becomes a springboard for
educating the public about the consequences of irresponsible breeding.

Pattie's thought on dogs:
"He is
your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his
love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of
his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion"

About Carolyn...
Carolyn first learned about rescue after purchasing a pet-store beagle puppy named Bailey in 1996. After years of caring for Bailey's numerous medical problems (including glaucoma, a heart murmur, colitis, kidney disease and arthritis) and searching for what was wrong, she learned that he was a true puppymill puppy, and vowed never to buy another puppy from a pet-store again. She adopted her first rescue beagle (Rosie) in 2000. Four years later, in 2004, when Bailey passed away at the age of 7 from all of his medical issues, she adopted yet another rescue beagle (Pippin) and decided to devote more time to helping beagles in need. Carolyn now currently resides with 4 adopted rescue beagles. You can meet them here. She has volunteered with other beagle rescue organizations since 2004, and has learned from each and every experience. Knowing the CBR President and Vice-President, she knew she was "home" when she and Pattie were invited to start a sister chapter of CBR on the East Coast.
In her career, she is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst working in the field of autism, and has learned that we should never stop learning about how to improve life, and how we can make a difference. This applies to EVERY aspect of our lives. In rescue, every beagle, every adopter, and every volunteer has his/her own story. We need to slow down and take the time to listen. There is a solution to every problem, and almost always a way to help if people work together.
