Adopt a BeagleThis 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
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.

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. Marlie being younger is still learning.
Other dogs: Currently lives with 2 other dogs, both female beagles aged 6 and 7 years old. All dogs get along well. Marlie may sometimes try to steal some of the girls’ dinner, however when they tell him to back off he returns to his own bowl. All meals are supervised to make sure no one over eats. Being a rural dog, he doesn’t often come across other dogs – when we have been in town they get very excited to see others. Marlie does the classice beagle howl to greet other pups but then gets very subdued when approached.
Training: No formal training. Marlie is a little stubborn being younger and needs to work on sitting on command.
Temperament: Very friendly, loves humans!
About: Marlie has been with us since 8 weeks old and desexed – he is a happy go lucky puppy who loves any human attention he can get. Marlie has a pedigree with Dogs NSW. Marlie sleeps outside happily in a kennel but also crated inside during winter months with no dramas. He is house trained and will let you know when he wants to go outside. Being a Beagle and known for their escape artistry – good fencing is a must please!

PRIVATE REHOMING – BEAGLe- on trial
Jurgen
24/11: Enquiries paused, Jurgen is going on trial soon.
Rehoming Fee: $300 via donation
Microchip #: 956 000 010 505 854
Location: Tallawong NSW 2762
Age/DOB: 5 years / 24-10-2019
Sex: Male (Desexed)
Colour: Tri-colour
Vaccinated: July 2024
Heartworm/flea/tick/worming: No monthly treatment, unsure if the vet gives as part of annual vaccinations but have all records so can confirm
Health: No known issues
House Trained: Yes
Allowed Indoors: Yes
Usually Sleeps: Indoors on the couch or floor of bedroom. Has never been an outdoor dog
Used to cats: Lived with 2 cats for most of his 5 years. He ignores them!! Never ever an issue with the cats
Used to children: Has not lived with or had regular contact with children
Other dogs: Jurgen currently lives with another dog (2 year old Spoodle) and they get along well. However, Jurgen has always been good in his own company and may not necessarily need to be with another dog all the time.
He enjoys being in off lead areas. He does tend to wander off and do his own thing after initial excitement. He will come back and interact intermittently. Has always had an acute sense of when any trouble might occur and takes himself away
Training: Puppy school and I attempted ongoing obedience training at home. He has the basics but his scent urge takes over sometimes
Temperament: He is typically very placid however he does get “chatty” when he sees dogs on the street
About: He sleeps a lot. Loves food. He is 29kg. A little taller than the average beagle but vet assured us he is a beagle! Has always had his vet checkups regularly and have copies of recent vaccinations.
Jurgen would do best in a home where he has someone home more often than not and someone who enjoys taking him on walks, he would prefer the bush tracks or parkland to urban areas. We typically walked 5-7km a day.
He would typically sleep all day and wander into the garden for a lay down when I used to work from home. He enjoys long walks where he can sniff, even better if a large fenced area where he could go off lead now and then, but isn’t the type of dog to run around and play in a garden. He can be a little lazy when not actually on a walk! most often found asleep on the couch or floor or tiles.
He would be ok with other dogs or as an only dog if someone was home with him part or all of the day. However, he can stay alone once he gets used to it and has maybe a garden to snuffle and lay in.
Jurgen has never really been exposed to babies or young kids so unsure how he would go. But he is ok with kids he’s encountered who know how to act around a dog. He is typically very sweet, calm, laid back and cannot recall him ever getting angry or snappy.
Please contact JOHN on [details removed]. Jurgen will remain in his home until JOHN has made a decision about his new family.
Please note that as a private rehoming, we know only what Jurgen’s owner has told us. He is not in care with Beagle Rescue NSW and we have not assessed him. Jurgen’s owner will field all enquiries and make all decisions regarding his new home. Once Jurgen’s new home is chosen, his current and new owners will need to complete and sign a Form C3A together, then lodge the completed form with council (no cost) to transfer his 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).

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.
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.
