YES a beagle needs exersize. A beagle is bred to hunt and being in a cage or tied up on a short leash is not a good life for a beagle. "Exercise: Energetic and possessing great stamina, the Beagle needs plenty of exercise, but a yard of reasonable size will take care of most of its requirements. A brisk daily walk will cover the rest. Always use a lead when walking this breed or you will be running the risk of it disappearing in search of wild game".

That is such a shame that such a sweet little beagle is being treated that way Oh that makes me sooooo mad !!! Are they feeding and watering it ? Because if not that is enough to have it taken away from them, at least here in Canada it is anyway. I wish I lived closer to you I would try my hardest to take him. Thats what I did with Copper I asked them a couple of times if you don't want that dog then let me take him, if they refused three times I was going to take matters up with animal control. But on my second visit they let me take him home.

Please keep us posted about this poor beagle.
