Adopt a Beagle

This page lists dogs currently looking for their new home, who are either in foster care with Beagle Rescue NSW, or who are offered for Private Rehoming by their current owner. Beagle Rescue NSW does not place time limits on the dogs in foster care with us.

Dogs for adoption

BRN facilitates the rehoming of dogs in one of two ways:

 

Dogs in foster care

These are beagles who have come into care with us and are currently living with one of our amazing volunteer foster carers. We spend some time getting to know them before embarking on the search for their new homes. All our foster dogs are vet checked for general health and, if needed, brought up to date with vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm medications. We’ll also ensure we carry out any vet work for specific ailments if needed. We will also ensure any dogs not already spayed or neutered are desexed before they leave our care.
Beagles in foster care are adopted via an application process. Applications are collected and assessed to try and match the individual dog to the applicant we think they are best suited to. This gives our beagles the greatest chance of success in their new home. All beagles in foster care are adopted on a 30-day trial basis – this gives the beagle and their new adoptive family an opportunity to really get to know each other. If at any point during the trial period, the family feels it’s not going to work out, they just need to let us know and arrange for the beagle to be returned to their foster carer. It’s ok if that happens, sometimes, things just don’t work out the way everyone hoped. We know that each dog’s perfect match is out there, and we are committed to finding them.

Private Rehoming

These are beagles who will stay in the care of their current owners until they find their new home. The current owners field enquiries from potential new families and make all decisions regarding their Beagle’s new home. BRN advertises these beagles to our many followers to help connect the beagle in need with those looking to add a beagle to their family.

We recommend all dogs go to their new home on a ‘trial basis’ at first and recommend the trial period be at least 30 days, whereby if things don’t work out within the specified period of time, the dog would be returned to their original owner who would again seek to find their new home. We recommend the change of owner form is not submitted to council for processing until the rehoming is confirmed at the end of the trial period.

As these dogs are not in our care and we haven’t assessed them, BRN is entirely reliant on the information provided by the dog’s current owner. It is the responsibility of prospective applicants to source as much information about the dog they are seeking to home as possible. BRN cannot be held responsible for the outcome of a private rehoming.

BRN’s policy is that any dog listed for rehoming must be desexed before listing, and must be registered in the name of the person requesting the rehoming.

PRIVATE REHOMING – BONDED PAIR – BEAGLeS

Maxie & Frankie

Juju
Juju

Rehoming Fee: $400 as a pair, via donation

Microchip #:

Maxie: 900 079 000 344 945

Frankie: 991 001 001 837 726

Location: Penrose NSW 2579

Age/DOB: 

Maxie: 7 years / 02-10-2017

Frankie: 6 years / 12-10-2018

Sex: Female (Desexed)

Colour: Tri-colour

Vaccinated: 2024

Heartworm/flea/tick/worming: Yes. Simparica Trio

Health: No known issues. Maxie has had abdominal surgery previously – she had saggy breast tissue that never bounced back so she essentially had a mini tummy tuck to make sure she’s comfortable as she ages. We are monitoring a lipoma under the skin that the vet noted at her last check up about 5-6 months ago but was pretty sure it was not a concern and has not grown on our monitoring as advised by the vet

House Trained: Yes

Allowed Indoors: Yes

Usually Sleeps: At the back door in a kennel or will sleep in a crate

Used to cats: We have a young cat – he stays inside and the dogs are outside. If the dogs come inside the cat gets kept in another room with the door closed. When we first had the cat arrive the dogs would bark excitedly at the glass door – it seemed they were more excited to play than aggressive. However I was always too nervous about the dynamic of three dogs and 1 cat so I have kept them separate. Therefore not able to comment how they would go one on one with a cat.

Used to children: We have 5 children 3, 4, 10, 12, 12 and the dogs have grown up with them. Kids absolutely love the dogs and the dogs love them. All the dogs are very friendly with the kids and we have never had a moment of aggression. Occasionally, if both kids and dogs get excited the dogs can jump – not an issue with older kids but the little ones know to tell the dogs firmly no and to sit and the behaviour stops very quickly. Maxie and Frankie sit on command promptly.

Other dogs: The girls have always lived together and currently also live with our third beagle, Marlie (2 yr desexed male). All dogs get along well. Marlie is the baby of the group so often at feeding time if he tries to steal food the girls will quietly growl to which he swiftly backs off and returns to his own bowl. We supervise feed time to make sure no one overeats. Otherwise all dogs get on well with no aggression or fighting. Being rural dogs, they don’t often come across other dogs – when we have been in town they usually get very excited to see others. 

Training: No formal training. Frankie and Maxie will both sit on command.

Maxie is a classic gutsy beagle so we watch her weight with a weight controlled dry dog food.

All three dogs have been with us since puppies (8 weeks old) and been much loved family pets since their arrival for our busy family of 5 kids. Maxie and Frankie have been living their best life roaming their large rural backyard, sniffing and snacking like beagles do best! Frankie and Maxie have Master Dog Breeders Association papers. All sleep outside happily in a kennel but also crated inside during winter months with no dramas. They are house trained and will let you know when they want to go outside. Being Beagles and known for their escape artistry – good fencing is a must please!

It is absolutely heartbreaking for us to consider rehoming them but with our busy lives we are frequently away from home and we feel they would be happier surrounded by humans regularly and to also be walked more frequently.

Please contact AARIELLE on 0423 221 282. Maxie & Frankie will remain in their home until AARIELLE has made a decision about their new family.

Please note that as a private rehoming, we know only what Maxie & Frankie’s owner has told us. They are not in care with Beagle Rescue NSW and we have not assessed them. Maxie & Frankie’s owner will field all enquiries and make all decisions regarding their new home. Once Maxie & Frankie’s new home is chosen, their current and new owners will need to complete and sign a Form C3A together (one form for each dog), then lodge the completed form with council (no cost) to transfer their ownership details. Alternatively, ownership may be transferred online via the NSW Pet Registry (both current and new owners will need to register an account; current owner needs to ‘claim’ the dog, then transfer them to the new owner, new owner must ‘accept’ the dog to transfer ownership).

We recommend all dogs go to a new home on a trial basis, and that the trial period should be 30 days. In the event things don’t work out (it happens), the dog would be returned to their original owner who would again seek to find them a new home. We recommend change of ownership forms are not submitted to council until a successful rehoming has been agreed at the end of the trial period.

Health: No known issues

House Trained: No

Allowed Indoors: No

Usually Sleeps: In a kennel

Used to cats: Have not lived with cats or other animals.

Used to children: Both used to kids under 5. Apollo is calm and gentle. Ruby can be a bit excitable and jumps up initially, but then calms and relaxes.

Other dogs: Currently living together and get along well. They haven’t spent too much time interacting with other dogs, however they seem to show little interest in others when out and about

Training: Puppy school.

Apollo is a beautiful boy with a gentle temperament, loves pats and walks. He is a gentle giant and will pull Ruby down with his paws if she tries to jump.

Ruby is a bit jumpy when you first greet her but easily redirectable. She needs a secure yard as she loves following scents.She is a gorgeous girl and the runt of the litter so is smaller than a usual beagle.

They both love pats. They howl on a full moon or at shadows on a windy night but mostly don’t bark unless there is a cat nearby. They will chew things that are left out.

Ruby & Apollo are to be rehomed together, as a bonded pair.

Please contact KATRINA on 0403 319 678. Apollo & Ruby will remain in their home until KATRINA has made a decision about their new family.

PRIVATE REHOMING – BEAGLe x CAVALIER

Chester

Juju
Juju

Rehoming Fee: $300

Microchip #: 953 010 001 063 180

Location: Kirrawee NSW 2232

Age/DOB: 8 yr 6 mo / 29-08-2016

Sex: Male (Desexed)

Colour: Tri-colour

Vaccinated: Jan 2025

Heartworm/flea/tick/worming: No

Health: No known issues

House Trained: Yes

Allowed Indoors: Yes

Usually Sleeps: In the bedroom in his own bed on the floor, he is locked in at night

Used to cats: He plays and barks at birds in the backyard, they will swoop him and he will jump at them. He isn’t friendly with cats. No other issues observed with other animals

Used to children: He hasn’t lived with kids full time, he has been around newborns and I’ve observed him being soft and curious. he isn’t a biter or a tackler no matter the age he plays with he only plays with toys. I can confirm he hasn’t been with an infant outside of a pram (I.e baby on the ground). He has been around 4-8 yr old kids and he has jumped on 1 kid trying to get a ball out of the kids hand. He has had regular visits of all ages with smaller kids, years between interactions. So monitoring with interactions would still be advised until confident

Other dogs: Hasn’t been trained to interact with dogs, he used to love playing with dogs when he was younger and as he has gotten older he tends to bark at and lunge towards dogs – I paid a behavioural specialist and I have seen improvements with training. I can’t promise that he will ever like other dogs he prefers to interact with people

Training: Behavioural training. Basic command training

Temperament: He is a very chill dog majority of the day, he does bark at possums at night and will bark if motor cycles zoom past the house – he does listen to come inside when enough is enough

About: Chester needs an experienced owner and is only suitable for someone with knowledge of managing dogs with strong personalities. He will need a strong guiding hand. The problem I have with him is that I got him when I was too young and naive and careless. If you knew what I knew know back then his training would have been very different: he has claimed the alpha role and he does listen and then doesn’t listen to me when it comes to training. I have observed through other people and trainers that his attitude to the alpha role is very different with other people. He respects their authority more

Please contact BRAD on 0475 682 489. Chester will remain in his home until BRAD has made a decision about his new family.

Hi Future Owner!

Welcoming a new member of the family is an exciting time for everyone. Please remember though, that for the dogs, it can also be a scary and anxious time. They leave behind everything they’ve known so far to go to a new place with strange people, strange dogs, strange sights and smells. It may take them a little while to settle in.

While each dog is an individual, generally try to remember the ‘Rule of 3’ when welcoming a new dog into your home:

  • In the first 3 days your new dog may be feeling overwhelmed; may be scared and unsure of what’s going on; may not be comfortable enough to be ‘themselves’; may shut down and want to curl up in their crate or hide under a table; and may test some boundaries.

  • After 3 weeks your new dog should be starting to settle in; they are feeling more comfortable; they are realising this could possibly be their forever home; they have figured out their environment; they are getting into a routine; they let their guard down and may start showing their true personality; and any behaviour issues may start to emerge.

  • After 3 months your new dog should be completely comfortable in their new home; should be building trust and a new bond with their family; should have gained a complete sense of security with their new family; and should be set in a routine.

Give your new dog space and time to work at their own pace during this initial settling in period.
