The SOS (Save Our
Snoopies) Beagle Rescue
is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of beagles by sheltering
homeless or abandoned dogs and adopting them to loving homes.
Our chapters are currently
located in New Jersey, Tennessee and Alabama. We do not, however, have an actual
shelter or public facility for you to visit. All of our beagles are in foster
care or with their owners.
If you are not in our areas
near Birmingham, AL, Northeast Tennessee and New Jersey,

IN
MEMORY
JONATHAN E. TRABILCY
A
good friend of mine, Jon Trabilcy, passed away
3/29/10 at the young age of 31. I first knew Jon when he was just a young child in the 80's,
completing in Jr. Showmanship at the dog shows Garth and I attended. His parents and we became good friends, and
have remained so to this day.
Jon
was a mature young man, even at that young age, taking his "craft" seriously and being able to complete on
a par with the adults in the breed ring. In Junior Showmanship, he was the first to sincerely congratulate any handler who
beat him. He oftentimes would spend time with other youngsters just starting in the field, giving them tips
and showing them some of the finer points of handling.
Jon had a mischievous side to him as well and always brought laughter to
every gathering. He lived life to the fullest. I couldn't have been prouder of him if he had been my own
son.
Rest
in peace, Jon, and know that you have touched my life forever. My sympathies to his mom and dad,
Lorraine and Gene, and to his wife and baby.
