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.
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 + Beagle x Basset Hound
Alfred & Ealhswith
BONDED PAIR – TO BE REHOMED TOGETHER
Private Rehoming Fee: $300 as a pair, via donation
Microchip #: ALFRED: 956 000 006 575 243 / EALHSWITH: 991 001 002 698 415
Location: Narara NSW 2250
Age/DOB: ALFRED: 5 yr 5 mo / DOB 25-12-2017
EALHSWITH: 4 yr 1 mo / 08-04-2019
Sex: ALFRED: Male (Desexed) / EALHSWITH: Female (Desexed)
Colour: Tri-colour
Last Vaccinated: 23 May 2023
Heartworm/flea/tick/worming: Yes, NexGard
Health: Alfred suffers from skin allergies, have been given Cytopoint once every 4 months at this stage (seems to need less over time). No known issues for Ealhswith
House Trained: No
Allowed Indoors: Yes
Usually Sleeps: Outdoors in a kennel together
Used to cats: The dogs have not lived with cats or other animals (excluding other dogs)
Used to children: Both dogs have interacted frequently with our small children. Ealhswith is a jumper and gets easily overexcited, so has to be monitored around preschool age children and younger. Alfred is very docile with kids. Temperamentally they are both well suited to any type of family setup
Other dogs: Alfred has been on walks etc with other dogs and gets on well. Ealhswith is very happy and tends to get on well with other happy mild mannered dogs
Training: Alfred & Ealhswith have not had formal training, but we have done our own training with them. They can follow instructions for sit, stand and wait
Alfred gets anxious and sad when we are away eg holidays and loves company. He gets very attached and is highly intelligent. He knows to sit, stand, wait and if he knows where you keep his treats he will point you to them to get one. He has been around children and is good with them. He is mostly an outdoor dog but spends a lot of time indoors as well. While he knows to go outside and wee and will stand infront of the sliding door to do so, in winter or if it is cold, he will refuse to go out and will often wee indoors.
Ealhswith (pronounced eel sweeth) is a very loveable dog. She is a Bagel (basset hound mix beagle but looks mostly like a beagle). She can sit all day and cuddle up with you moving only for food or the next exciting thing that catches her eyes. She has grown up with children but I would recommend supervising with kids under 2 as she can get very excitable and does not know her own strength, ie jumping to lick etc. She loves children and can spend all day being close to them.
Alfred and Ealhswith (EELS-WITH – named after the first king and queen of England) have been in our family since shortly after their births. Alfred is a very loyal dog who enjoys participating in activities together. He would suit a family who enjoy gardening or being out in the yard having adventures. He has some skin allergies which mean his ears need to be kept clean. Ealhswith is a tender-hearted and very devoted dog. She tends to get carsick. Medication can help with this. Both have been outdoor dogs as they tend to shed, however if a family doesn’t mind dog hair they are lovely indoor companions and will follow your everywhere. Both are wonderful with our two small children and will play with them for hours.
Please contact Alfred & Ealhswith’s owner, DAVID on 0420 345 417. Alfred & Ealhswith will remain in their home until David has made a decision about their new family.
Please note that as a private rehoming, we know only what Alfred & Ealhswith’s owner has told us. They are not in care with Beagle Rescue NSW and we have not assessed them. Alfred & Ealhswith’s owner will field all enquiries and make all decisions regarding their new home. Once Alfred & Ealhswith’s new home is chosen, their current and new owners will need to complete and sign a Form C3A together (one 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).

She is friendly just wants attention and love and lots of walks. She gets excited when she sees humans and may jump at first but settles easily. She doesn’t lick and loves a cuddle and pat.
Please contact Tazer’s owner HAYLEY on 0413 436 647. Tazer will remain in her home until Hayley has made a decision about her new family.

Sex: Male (Desexed)

Other dogs: Very playful – currently lives with another beagle. Dexter has a current brother who is 5 years old. Dexter has a lot of puppy energy that our 5 year old beagle can not keep up with. He always plays friendly with his older brother.
Training: No formal training. As he is still a puppy, he would benefit from some dog training as he can be jumpy and excited when his humans greet him
Dexter needs a larger yard as our backyard is too small for him. Dexter is full of energy and our older beagle can’t keep up with him. Dexter would be better suited with other dogs closer to his age or in an only dog home.
Dexter is a beautiful dog. Dexter will sit on command at feed time and wait for you to say eat most times. Dexter enjoys Blackhawk chicken and rice dry food for both breakfast and dinner. Dexter’s dinner usually includes some boiled chicken or tuna and vegetables mixed in with his dry food. Dexter loves to chew on his teething dog toys such as an deer antler.. he is a puppy still after all.
Please contact Dexter’s owner DEBORAH on 0437 509 284. Dexter will remain in his home until Deborah 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.
