Rescue Beagle Went '7 Years Without a Cuddle' - Now She Snuggles Whenever She Wants
In May, more than 1,500 Beagles were rescued from Ridglan Farms, a Wisconsin breeding and research facility. These dogs were subjected to horrible conditions and didn't receive any sort of attention or affection as they struggled to just get through each day. Thankfully, numerous rescue organizations stepped up to find these beautiful Beagles foster and permanent homes.
Juniper Penelope - aka Junie B - is a Ridglan Farm Beagle who is now getting the tender loving care she never got to experience in her life.

original sound - Ms. B
In the TikTok from @tlcwithmsb, Junie B was snuggling with her foster mom. Apparently, the precious pooch inadvertently derailed her mom's gardening plans.
"I'm trying to finish putting together my garden bed," the pet parent explained, "and this little one said, nope, time for a break."
Junie B's mom was more than happy to stop working to give the precious pooch some attention, considering what the Beagle had been through when at the breeding facility.
"She went nearly 7 years without a cuddle," the onscreen text revealed as the foster mom gave more details.
"She had been sleeping on my little couch over there and she came off and came over and wants a cuddle," her mom said. "If she wants a cuddle, she gets a cuddle, because she went 7 years without one. So, I'm going to give her a cuddle."
Junie B's proud parent described her as "confident and brave but still apprehensive". Naturally, cuddling is her favorite activity so far.
Junie B Is Learning How to Eat
The fur baby was given water through a drip holder and mushy food while at Ridglan Farms, so she is slowly acclimating to eating and drinking from bowls.
"She doesn't know how to eat kibble or chew things," her mom continued, adding that she recently made Junie B some homemade chicken and rice. "She just started to chew some soft food today. Otherwise it's just mush that she's used to."
Dogs who come from traumatic experiences need time to decompress and adapt to their new environment. Junie B's mom revealed that she's fostered dysregulated dogs in the past and now wants to help this adorable pooch.
Junie B is finally getting the love and affection she deserves.
