Begley

Begley was given to his previous owner by a friend who had to move into an apartment and could not keep him. Begley lived with this owner for six years. This owner fell on hard times, lost his home and could not afford to keep Begley. Although it was a very difficult decision for him, he gave Begley to wolfhound rescue and asked us to find his special friend a special home.

Begley is a soft-hearted, gentle soul. He loves all things great and small. He shares his new home (and his wisdom) with a yearling wolfhound who adores his new “uncle”. Begley will be 8 years old next month and is very content in his forever home.
