Fill out our
online
application form.
We will acknowledge receipt of your application within 48 hours. Once
you've submitted your application form, please allow us 2 weeks to
process your application.
(We generally do so within 1 week.)
Please note that:
 All current pets must be up to date on shots and heartworm
preventative. We have no reason to believe that our dog will be
given better vet care than those already in your possession, and
we've spent time and money to be sure our dogs are healthy when
adopted. We will not risk that required follow-up care will be neglected.
Applicants with children 8 years of age or younger, with no
recent dog ownership, are required to have a fenced-in yard.
Occasional exceptions are made if there is a history of recent
beagle ownership.
-
We will contact you when your application is approved.
You will be asked to review the available dogs on our website for
a potential match, and/or we will contact you when one comes into
the rescue. If you are looking for a very young pup or
something very specific (13" male 1-2 yrs. old) it may take longer
for you to hear from us -- we won't contact you unless we
have something that is near your request.
-
All of our beagles are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date
on vaccinations, and on heartworm preventative.
-
All adoptions require a personal visit -- we do not ship
our dogs
to a new home.
-
We will contact you to make an
appointment for your interview and to meet the dog. Appointments
are offered at the convenience of both you and the home where the
dog is being fostered. (Remember, we have jobs and family
obligations, too, and occasionally have to make
time for such events!)
-
An adoption fee of $175 is required at time of adoption,
payable in cash or money order. (We have regrettably had
to discontinue the acceptance of personal checks.) This
partially reimburses us for the cost of your dog's spay/neuter,
shots, heartworm test (and treatment, if necessary), microchip,
and other expenses. Occasional special needs or senior dogs
may qualify for a reduction in the adoption fee.
-
Please have the courtesy to call us and cancel your
application if you find a dog elsewhere. We are volunteers, work
full-time, have families and pets of our own, and our time and resources are
just as precious to us and
the dogs we are trying to help, as they are to you.
