The Animal Rescue League of Boston, which recently assisted in removing 34 dogs from an overcrowded house kennel in Northwestern Massachusetts, will soon be offering a pack of beagles for adoption.

The ten beagles that are currently in the care of ARL are all named after bagels: Jalape o Cheddar, Asiago, Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin, Egg, Marble, Poppy, Everything, Blueberry, and Pumpernickel.

According to a news release from ARL, the canines are sociable, seem to be well-fed, and vary in age from 8 to 8.

The group claimed to have rescued about three dozen beagles from the overcrowded house kennel in collaboration with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services Team. According to ARL, local officials are looking into the canines after their owners turned them in.

The group clarified that overcrowding is a complicated problem that can cause major health issues for both the animals and the people who live with them. Dogs rescued from overcrowding conditions may require special care over the course of the next few days and weeks due to a variety of health and behavioral problems.

Ten beagles—seven females and three males—are being cared for by ARL at its facility in Boston, while the other canines are being given to groups in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The dogs will receive veterinary and behavioral examinations, spay/neuter treatments, and compassionate care before being placed for adoption, according to the organization.

ARL is requesting donations in the interim to help the shelter deal with the unexpected surge of animals.

In a social media post, the charity also stated that these adorable beagles will require committed, kind care in the days and weeks ahead in order to recover and flourish.
