Donate To Our Beagles In Need

Rescued beagles need your help! Midwest BREW operates solely on the generosity of people like you. Big or small, every donation helps in our ability to care for these animals. We are an all volunteer organization, and 100% of your donation goes to the care of our animals. Please help us provide medical care, spay/neutering, boarding, food, and transportation to these beagles that have been abused, lost, or surrendered until they find their new home. Your support enables us to create happy endings for beagles. Whether you are interested in making a general donation or sponsoring a particular beagle, your contribution will make a difference!

Midwest BREW is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Sponsor a Beagle

Sponsoring one of our beagles is a great way to show your support for Midwest BREW. We rely on the donations of generous animal lovers like you to be able to rescue beagles. In many cases, these homeless dogs require extensive veterinary care—much more than the adoption donation covers. Each beagle that comes into Midwest BREW’s program is brought up to date on shots, heartworm tested, spayed or neutered, dewormed, and microchipped. In addition, we must supply flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, any continuing medication, and occasionally even food until that beagle is adopted. Sometimes they are kenneled for brief time until a foster home opens up. If the beagle needs treatment for heartworm, we provide that as well.

 Punky

Punky underwent surgery to remove her left mammary chain and be spayed. This procedure included x-rays, bloodwork, injections, and tests. She also had a much-needed dental cleaning. In addition to surgery, Punky is being treated for hookworm, Lyme disease, a UTI, and ear infections. Once she has had time to recover, she will need a second surgery to remove the right mammary chain. These procedures are critical for Punky’s health and future, but they come with significant costs. Every dollar makes a difference in helping her get the care she needs.

Update 04/28/26: Punky is doing well, going in on 04/28/26 to update injections.  Still needs an appointment to discuss the second mammary chain removal. Any support for Punky is greatly appreciated. 

Update 04/29/26: Punky saw the vet today, she has a continued UTI, incision infection,  and yeast in her ears.  She will be monitored closely and return to the vet after medication is completed.

Update 05/05/26: She continues to do well. Her incision infection looks very good. I was able to take her shirt off and let her be “naked”. Her ears are also looking good. Less debris each time. I did have to go to every other day cleanings due to come tenderness, which can be normal. She has been started on the slow transition to weight management food. She loves it and the kibble pieces are a bit smaller which makes for great training treats too. She had her first real bath with me today. Her foot baths have been a slight battle, but working on it. She didn’t do too bad for her full body bath and I believe she feels better after it.

Update 05/22/26: Great news! Punky’s UTI has cleared up. Her ears look really good and her incision also has healed nicely. Punky has also starting losing some weight. All in all, she’s looking great. She is scheduled for a surgery consult May 26th with surgery to remove the other mammary chain the same week.

Update 05/31/26: Punky will have her second mammary chain removed on June 5. Any and all support for Punky is greatly appreciated.
