Anyone missing a bunch of Beagles? Found roaming together, 4 of them.

According to the article they are sweet and loving. They have to belong to someone who loved them.

A Bunch of Beagles: Information Sought on 4 Dogs Found Roaming South Lakeland


Makaylee Graves, 20, and her sister Madison, 15, with four Beagles they captured running loose in the Deer Brooke subdivision in South Lakeland.

Graves, 20, said she first spotted the pack early Monday off Pipkin Road. She thought about picking them up then but didn't want to be late for work. She spotted them again on her way home as they meandered through her neighbors' yards in the Deer Brooke subdivision off Lunn Road.

....“I can officially say I've corralled beagles. And it was about as easy as corralling cats,” Makaylee Graves said laughing.

Graves bought them dog food and extra leashes, and is keeping them in crates. She takes them on frequent bathroom breaks and gives them time to roam.

She took them to Cleveland Heights Animal Hospital to check for microchips, she said, but they don't have any. She posted their photos on Facebook, put up signs around the neighborhood and near where she spotted them off Pipkin Road.

“They're so sweet,” Graves said. “All they want to do is sit there and love on you.”


Graves said there have been many offers to take them separately, but she says they are too close to each other to split them up.

And have raised them before.. they are noisy little buggers..so better to keep them together on a farm if they can,, hope they can find a home for them..

I've had up to 11 stray hounds over the years. Lovely dogs. Totally guileless and so sweet. I wish I could take them but just paid the vet 515 bucks for my one old hound.

Don't know if there is much hunting in your area but the are used to hunt deer and hogs. Maybe that is where they came from.

If they are someone's hunting dogs looks like they would be seriously looking for them. Matter of fact even if they are pets...how many people have 4 beagles like that?
