Abandoned Mother Beagle Births 11 Puppies, Finds Foster Home With Dedicated Volunteer

If two is a company, three is a crowd, and four is a party, what would 11 be called? What if those 11 are puppies? Pretty much everyone would think that's too much of a load to handle, but it hasn't been a problem for a generous foster mom who also has five kids, five cats, and one dog under her and her husband's care. In fact, it was the perfect place for Onomatopoeia, a proud beagle mother of 11 beagle puppies.Weeks ago, emergency personnel from the Hanover County Animal Control in Central Virginia located Onomatopoeia after calls about an abandoned dog. Little did they know that they would quickly have their hands and kennel full just after her arrival. Not long after she was safe at the kennel, the mother beagle gave birth to 11—yes, 11—puppies.Story written by Alex Lemieux.
