Adopting a Beagle

   

View our Available Beagles!!

If we do not have a Beagle available for immediate adoption that meets your criteria, please note that we will offer to put you on a waiting list.  In the meantime, kindly follow the procedures outlined below.  Filling out the appropriate documents for pre-approval will increase your chances of getting a Beagle since we will know that a loving home is waiting.

Please understand that we are ALL VOLUNTEERS doing this in our spare time, and our dogs are fostered in private foster homes.  We do not have a kennel facility. All adoptions will follow the process below for the safety and best interests of the dogs in our care, and the volunteers of our organization:

Fill out our online adoption form.  

If you are looking to specifically and ONLY adopt from our Laboratory Beagle Adoption Division, which requires waiting until such dogs are released to us, please click here.  Otherwise, please complete our regular application linked above. 

 

 

 

 

 

We will contact your personal reference and also your veterinarian if you have current or past pets.  We do this to determine if you have provided appropriate medical care for your animals. (Please note that all of your own pets must be spayed/neutered.) Applications may be declined based on references alone.  Otherwise, in about 7-14 days, a representative from CBR-East will contact you to set up a telephone interview, and possibly an in-home visit.  Please note that the interviews last at least one hour, so if you are not willing to spend this time discussing beagles and adoption, then please do not submit an application.

 

After your application has been processed and approved, we will try to match you with one of our available beagles. If we have a match for you in the rescue, please note that we WILL NOT HOLD THE DOG FOR YOU!  We will collaboratively schedule convenient dates and times for meetings, but if you are not ready to bring your new dog home within a week or two, please do not expect us to hold the dog for you.

 

Depending on your criteria and setup, we do not always have a match for you. We will then offer to place you on a waiting list to adopt a Beagle. Please also note that CBR-East RARELY gets puppies (under 9 months) in the rescue, and since most people are looking for a young, housetrained Beagle who is good with children, cats and other dogs, these dogs are in highest demand for adopters, but are not always the ones we bring into our rescue. We believe many dogs need a second chance - not just young dogs with few issues.  If you are only willing to consider a female, you will likely be placed on a waiting list since females are adopted out very quickly. Please note that depending on your requirements for a Beagle, the time can be weeks to sometimes months before we find the right match for you! 

 

After a match has been found, you will be presented with detailed information and photos of Beagles taken into our program. With our assistance you will be matched with a new addition to your family! Please note that approval to adopt does not guarantee that every Beagle in the program will be available for you to adopt.  *Applications for specific dogs will be considered, but may not be honored if the match-up is not "right."*

 

Potential adopters, including all household members and current dogs are required to travel to the foster home of the Beagle with whom you have been matched.  These homes are throughout NJ and eastern PA, so it may be a factor in whether or not you can travel to the home as to whether the meeting and adoption can proceed.  We need to make sure that all household members are on board with the adoption, and that the dogs get along with each other. We will NOT ship our Beagles!

 

Our adoption fee is $200 for adult Beagles, and $250 for Beagle puppies.

 

All of our Beagles are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative, micro-chipped, and started on heartworm preventative and flea/tick preventative.

 

POST ADOPTION SERVICES: Cascade Beagle Rescue has an online support group for all adopters.  In addition to meeting fellow adopters of rescue beagles, many of our volunteers - including pet trainers and behaviorists - are in this group, and are there to answer questions and to guide you as you introduce your new Beagle to your life!

Congratulations on completing the first step to adding a Beagle to your family!
