Claire Age: 4-5 yrs. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE BILSBORROW FAMILY AND K9 SISTER SHELBY - 8/8/26 Claire and Chloe (Chloe has been adopted) came in together. They were found in poor condition, and spent several days in the vet's office getting fluids and worming (they were close to needing blood transfusions due to worm infestation). Doing much better now and skin is healing well. We will NOT place them together as they've started having typical mother-daughter disagreements over food and independence. They each deserve their own family for individualized attention. Because they both experienced prolonged hunger, a ceramic slow-feeder bowl is highly recommended to help them eat comfortably and safely. Claire has done well meeting the other dogs here with proper introductions. She was also respectful of the cats in foster care with Mikiko. We think she'd do well with dog-savvy older children who understand that every rescue dog deserves patience while settling into a new home. Claire has a gentle, quiet presence. She's a little more independent than Chloe, happy to explore the world with her nose before checking back in with her people. Like many beagles, she'll follow an interesting scent on a walk, so she may pull a bit when something catches her attention, but overall she's a nice little leash walker. She is active enough to enjoy adventures but equally content to settle down and relax beside you at the end of the day. We also believe Claire has lived in a home before, as she shows signs of understanding household routines. Claire keeps her kennel clean with a schedule and is a wonderfully quiet houseguest. She's a red and white about 25 lbs.

Buster Age: 1-2 yrs. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE MURRAY FAMILY - 8/1/26 Tri-colored boy, one of 5 that came into a partner shelter together. Buster is ~26 lbs. Abandoned at the county trash dump. He had acclimated well to crate training and leash walking. He is clean with a schedule but wait too long and he may pee. He is calm and quiet in his kennel. He is a stocky, smart boy that is food motivated for training. Has been around an 11 year old, cats unknown. His NJ foster provided this update after 2 days with him: With People: Buster is extremely docile and sweet. He is very timid around new people at first, but he warms up quickly. Once he feels comfortable with you, he becomes a shadow—he loves following his humans around the house and doesn't want to be away from them. With Other Dogs: He didn't pay much attention to our older beagle and didn't seem to quite know how to play with other dogs yet. High Energy & Playful: Once he settles in, he is super playful with people! He loves playing fetch with stuffed toys, consistently bringing them back and dropping them right at your feet. He also loves to run and chase his people around. Curious Nature: He can be skittish around new things, but his curiosity usually wins out once he gets past his initial nerves. He did great going potty on a leash! Once he calmed down, we were able to enjoy a nice walk. When he gets nervous on the leash, he tends to dart back and forth quickly, but settling down helps a lot. In the Crate: He was calm and quiet overall in his crate. TV Reactions: He does bark at people on the TV. When he had trouble settling down because of it, putting a blanket over his crate to block out the visual triggers worked like a charm. Mealtime: While eating, he looks up frequently as if he’s keeping an eye out for anyone who might try to steal his meal. Reflections: He doesn't quite understand his reflection in glass doors yet! Buster is such a sweet, affectionate boy with so much fun energy to share once he feels safe.

Bolt Age: 1-2 yrs Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE HARRISON FAMILY - 7/18/26 Bolt was one of 5 beagles dumped at a trash facility in TN. We originally stepped up for two but when the other three had no where to go, we took them all. They are different levels of shyness with Bolt being middle of the road. He is fun, energetic and follows the lead of another friendly dog. Good in his kennel and learning a schedule. He needs patience and love to continue to blossom but he is a happy boy that just wants his own home. Contact Rayne of SOS Beagle Rescue at 610-965-3647 email: rayne@coldnoselodge.com PA-381776

Herschel Age: 1-2 yrs. Sex: male neutered Herschel, a tiny boy around 17 lbs but could gain a lb or two. He was found by a Good Samaritan and not in great shape. Covered in ticks but 4 dx text negative for heartworm and all tick-borne diseases thankfully. He has an old eye injury that is getting a re-check the week of 7/20. He has just been neutered and updated on medical. He is sweet and pretty outgoing after all he has been through. Clean in his kennel the two nights so far. He can take a minute to warm up to other dogs, prefers calm females. With love, care and good nutrition he will be a beautiful boy. His PA foster, Karen, says this boy couldn't be any more perfect! He's super sweet. He has a very good appetite and is very gentle when taking treats out of my hand. On Monday I had a meeting to go to with the fire department. He showed no signs of fear or apprehension towards anyone. He was very good in the car, and he is doing excellent on the leash! Crate training is going well. He fusses for a bit but settles down. Potty training is a work in progress. He pees outside with no issues. He will go to the door when he needs to go out. As far as pooping.... he gets very distracted by all the smells and seems to forget why he's outside. He was a little hesitant with toys at first, now he loves them. Also, we had a thunderstorm which he was completely unphased by. He uses his voice...... alot. He yells at me when I take him out of the crate and he yells at anyone that won't pet him, therefore we wouldn't recommend him for an apartment or shared wall living situation. He loves attention and affection. There have been no issues with aggression and he could care less about the neighbor's cats. He is a happy and playful boy. He will definitely make someone a wonderful companion. Contact Karen of SOS Beagle Rescue at 570-899-8189 email: Karenhannis2@gmail.com PA-271106

Zinnia Age: 1 yr. Sex: female spayed ZINNIA was found near starvation by a group in KY but has regained weight well. Happy, nose driven. Playful but will get into mischief if left alone. She wants to be with her people so much that Beth caught her climbing up the corner of the fence onto the shade sail to try to get to her! Will need a 6' wood or vinyl fence or someone committed to leash She's been in foster with Steve for several weeks and he sent in the following report: Zinnia is a lovely and lively little girl. She loves everyone she comes in contact with. She enjoys playing with her chew toys, fetch, and any empty lap she can find. Zinnia is house trained and sleeps all night in her crate. She is all beagle on the leash and will need work and patience. A yard with a six foot high fence for running off her energy would be ideal.

New Jersey - South Plainfield

Rook Age: 3-4 yrs. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE FRANCHI FAMILY - 8/1/26 Rook is a stunning dark-coated boy with a gentle soul who is looking for a patient adopter willing to let him settle in at his own pace. He can be shy with new people and is cautious about being approached too quickly or picked up, so he'll need someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. Once Rook feels safe, his affectionate and loving personality begins to shine. Rook enjoys spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and relaxing with his people. He's incredibly social with other dogs and has yet to meet one he doesn't get along with. In fact, he would thrive in a home with other confident, friendly dogs who can help show him the ropes and build his confidence. He is a huge fan of good treats, good smells, and good napping spots. His house training is progressing well with a consistent crate and potty routine. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate without a peep and settles nicely when given structure. Like many dogs adjusting to a new environment, he may mark indoors if given too much unsupervised freedom too soon, so continued management and routine will be important for his success. A belly band is a great training tool for adult neuter male dogs. Google their use as a training aid. With time post neuter those lapses have lessened weekly. Rook is the kind of dog who blossoms when given patience, understanding, and a safe place to land. For the right family, watching him gain confidence and learn to trust will be incredibly rewarding. He has all the makings of a loyal, devoted companion..he simply needs someone willing to give him the time he deserves.

Charlie Age: 3 yrs. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE PEROZZI FAMILY AND K9 SIBLING ROGER - 8/5/26 Chattanooga Charlie is the most adorable little short and stocky boy. A friend's friend had new neighbors move in and they noticed their beagle stayed out all the time in the yard with little attention. Twice he had gotten out the gate and came to visit them, so they asked if they wanted to give him up in the hopes of finding him a caring home. They jumped at the chance and Beth's friend connected them to us. They held him at their home a few weeks until we had space but weren't able to adopt him as they had other dogs. He came in this week and has been vet care updated. He just turned 3 last week as they gave his birthdate. He is ~25 lbs. Treat motivated, getting used to the pack at Beth's but it's a bit overwhelming among the 36 dogs she has there. Knows a leash, clean in his kennel and started house transition with the Good Samaritan. Other dog OK, cats/kids unknown.

Lou Age: 3-5 yrs. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE BIFULCO FAMILY AND SOS ALUMNI KIRA - 8/1/26 Lou is the spunkiest, cutest beagle!! He came in a stray at a partner shelter. He is a short stocky beautiful boy at around 20 lbs. Lou can be shy at first but he will warm up and be extremely cuddly. He loves a couch or raised surface to perch on to feel safe and he is becoming much more fond of his crate. Lou loves food and treats! He's learning to sit for treats and he is getting much better on a leash although his nose gets the best of him sometimes. Loud noises can cause him to be scared and fearful of things, so he does prefer a more quiet environment. He currently has a foster brother who is much bigger than him and they play perfectly together. They even cuddle for some naps! He enjoys meeting new people - he can be timid at first, but will warm up and cuddle right up next to you eventually. He loves to run in his backyard and enjoys sunbathing in the grass. He has had a few pee accidents in the house but if taken out on a regular schedule he does extremely well and when taken outside he'll wander around a bit but will eventually pee. He does not have accidents in his crate! His foster home jokes he is a circus dog for how he sprints, bounces around and jumps off things! He is constantly making them laugh! He's the sweetest and kindest little boy!! Contact Linda of SOS Beagle Rescue at 856-336-2520 email: sosbeagles@juno.com NJ-344186

Lido Age: 10 mo Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE BASTON FAMILY - 729/26 Handsome red & white boy found in Greene County, TN, a lean ~25 lbs. His owner gave him up because they didn't have time for a puppy. You can tell in his exuberant and active behavior he loves all new things and attention. He would be a great jogging companion once older, he can use some leash and house training work as they kept him kenneled a lot or outside. He can be a pest to other dogs to play but takes the hint well when they shut things down. He stops and listens when called but doesn't always follow through with what you ask. Typical teen. Just neutered and UTD Medical. Lido is With Director Beth but was fostered for a few days with a rescue friend who has several dogs of her own..

Huck Age: 2-3 Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE MURPHY FAMILY - 8/3/26 Hck likes a chew toy, he is still jumpy around noise and sudden movement. Rode great crated in car. One potty incident since going to foster. He has two safe spots in the home and tends to stay in those areas but getting braver. Not a mean bone in his body. Had to work with him to get him to drink water in house - he would seek buckets outside or the foster's spring fed creek. Now getting used to it. Will drink from a glass of water! He will try to invite himself to dinner and likes coffee. Not bad on leash but pulls when excited but manageable. Loves to sniff. Has been quiet. Will sleep through night. He got loose once and howled at her cousin who was helping get him from the field. He is a flight risk initially until he settles and knows you. He came to them with a bowl of food. The vacuum cleaner and lawnmower don't scare him, but drop a phone or a loud truck drives by and he'll jump, shake, tuck his tail and go to his safe spot. Hesitates a bit over door thresholds. He'll need a patient home, preferably with a secure fence and no young energetic children who might scare him with their energy. Huck's NJ foster said He is house trained but he had an accident when someone in my neighborhood set off fireworks. I will be testing crate training this week as I wanted him to decompress. My kids are 12 years old. He loves them. He is fine with my dogs and cats. Definitely a good fenced yard where he can't escape - as it has taken him 2 weeks to get a little comfortable with us. Currently in a Hammonton foster home since his first NJ foster is on vacation. They report Huck gets along with their 3 year old beagle Claire, their 14 year old Yorkie Connie, and a 1 year old cat Graham. He is completely content with the other animals in their house. Huck is a love bug and loves cuddling with us on the couch. He's OK on his leash but still a little unsure of loud noises SOS Note -- this is the type of dog that once he gains confidence will be your best friend.

Mia Age: 2-1/2 yrs. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE GROGAN FAMILY - 8/8/26 Mia could be Your Future Best Friend! Personality: Sweet, curious, a little shy, but full of love! If you are looking for a true hound with a heart of gold, meet Mia! This lovely beagle girl is ready to find her forever family. She has a classic beagle soul, which means two things are absolute guarantees: she absolutely loves her daily walks, and she is highly motivated by delicious food! Mia's Favorites & Quirks: - The Great Outdoors: Mia is an avid explorer. In true beagle fashion, she loves to track and chase wild animals, so she'll definitely keep your backyard clear of squirrels! - Playtime: When she isn't sniffing out a trail, she loves playing with her favorite toys. - Social Butterfly: She gets along with other dogs, making her an excellent companion if you already have a resident pup. - Crate: When it's crate time, she might protest and bark for the first 10 minutes, but she settles right down after that and stays quiet. What Mia Needs in a Home: Mia is looking for a patient and understanding family. The big world of a new home with all its unfamiliar noises and sudden sounds can be a bit overwhelming for her right now. She can be a little skittish in the beginning, but if you give her just a little time and space to adjust, her sweet, loyal personality truly shines through. With a routine, a few treats, and some gentle reassurance, Mia will blossom into the ultimate loyal companion. Mia is still struggling a bit with anxiety when placed in her crate, and with housetraining. She will need a strict schedule of pottybreaks to polish that up.

Ruby Sue Age: 1 yr. Sex: female spayed She is a sweet gal that came to rescue through a Facebook post of a guy in Kentucky looking for help with a starving hairless beagle he took from a family that had her tied up in fishing net on the side of their house. They had found her and wanted to keep her. He was visiting a friend and happened to see something rolling around across the street. One lucky chain of events brought her to rescued partner Bethany who started her healing, inside and out. She has been in foster with a great couple and their hound. The first night she got out of her thin metal kennel but we think a combo of coming off spay anesthesia meds and change. Since then she has done well in a solid sided plastic kennel. She is doing well on house training, getting leash time. She is a snuggle bug and loves the best things a home has to offer. She is a young dog, a bit over a year, likes the companionship of another friendly dog. Mid 20 lbs but could gain a couple. Are you the one to give her the love, training and home she deserves? Cats unknown. Older children could be good? Active family. Contact Linda of SOS Beagle Rescue at 856-336-2520 email: sosbeagles@juno.com NJ-2214147
