Animal shelters often have to make heartbreaking decisions when it comes to the all-too-common issue of scarce resources. Shelters that lack the funding or support to meet the demands of their local community’s homeless-animal situation need help; for a beagle named Gregory, help arrived in the nick of time.
When Joe and Schenley Kirk of Ohio’s HOUND Rescue and Sanctuary saw the 2-year-old, heartworm-positive beagle on the Franklin County Dog Shelter’s euthanasia list, they knew they had to intervene. They went to the FCDS shelter and collected Gregory, saving his life.
