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 – BEAGLe
Maisie
Rehoming Fee: $350 via donation
Microchip #: 991 003 001 938 593
Location: Bathurst NSW 2795
Age/DOB: 1 yr 9 mo
Sex: Female (Desexed)
Colour: Tri-colour
Vaccinated: 12-03-2024
Heartworm/flea/tick/worming: Yes. ProHeart: 12-03-2024; Drontal and Advantix: 07-08-2024
Health: She has seasonal sensitive skin, which responds to antihistamines
House Trained: No
Allowed Indoors: No
Usually Sleeps: She has a dog run with a kennel. She has to be contained at night or she would be quite destructive and bark all night. She settles really well in the dog run
Used to cats: Has not lived with cats or other animals
Used to children: Doesn’t live with children but sees my grandchildren 1-2 days per week. Their ages range from 2-10 years old. I do have to watch her with the little ones as she would knock them over trying to play with them. She is not aggressive at all, just doesn’t know her own strength
Other dogs:Doesn’t currently live with another dog. She loves being with other dogs, she regularly plays with my son’s Labrador. The play is quite rough though
Training: She went to puppy preschool and to obedience classes for a short time. She was too hard to control there as all she wanted to do was play with the other dogs. I have done a three month course online. With working full time it is hard to maintain what I have learned, but try to be consistent with what we do with her. She will need a substantial transition period to assist learning and retaining skills
Temperament: Maisie can be very sensitive to things in her environment – she can get overly excited, lacks impulse control and can struggle to settle down again. We have observed this in domestic, social and environmental settings. She loves playing with other dogs and with people, but she gets very persistent with the lack of impulse control. She will need help when adjusting to new social experiences and environmental noises.
Maisie can be strong willed and stubborn, she gets bored and then starts chewing everything. Being a beagle she does tend to dig a lot.
About: She is a very friendly dog with a sweet nature. She loves playing with children and other dogs. Her play is quite rough. We have taken her to puppy preschool and obedience classes. Training has been slow. She will sit and come when she wants to. Loves to play fetch with her toys. I really think she would benefit from a family with another dog or children. Maisie has never been an inside dog. We do take her for walks which she loves. Teaching her to walk on a lead is ongoing. We find the halter the only way she will walk properly without pulling as much.
She’s quite tall and weighs 23kg.
Maisie really is a lovely girl, with a beautiful nature. I feel sad to rehome her but she is not the right fit for us. I would hope that she would go to a really lovely family who will give her all the attention she needs.
Please contact CARON on 0427 215 865. Maisie will remain in her home until CARON has made a decision about her new family.
Please note that as a private rehoming, we know only what Maisie’s owner has told us. She is not in care with Beagle Rescue NSW and we have not assessed her. Maisie’s owner will field all enquiries and make all decisions regarding her new home. Once Maisie’s new home is chosen, her 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 her 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.

Jurgen
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 0481 590 877. 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.

Age/DOB: 6.5 years old
Sex: Female (Desexed)
Colour: Tri-colour
Vaccinated: November 2024
Heartworm/flea/tick/worming: No

House Trained: Yes
Allowed Indoors: Yes

Used to cats: Hasn’t lived with cats. Currently lives on acreage with wildlife about
Used to children:In her early years of life she was around children but the last few years she has not engaged with children
Other dogs: Previously lived with other dogs (other beagles). She is quite friendly and approaches other dogs with ease
Training: No formal training
She is both inside and happily wanders around outside through the day. Would ideally love to sleep inside if allowed and is toilet trained. She has happily lived on an acreage where she has been able to roam free and happily would wait for her owner to return home from work she is quite gentle loves her food and happily keeps herself occupied through out the day. She would need to be separated during feed time if her new family had a second dog as she is food greedy. Ideally if she was to be re-homed with someone who owns a large parcel of land would be ideal.
Lilly has lived with two owners now due to both owners having to go into care for health reasons so hopefully her next family will be her forever 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.
