CAMERON

adult (~ 4 years), Beagle/Miniature Pinscher (?) mix, spayed female

 

Cameron is a high energy young beagle who found her way to our rescue through a veterinarian's office in Northern New Jersey.  Cameron completed an evaluation at the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Clinic and does best when on some medication to decrease her anxieties. She is generally crate and housetrained, but will have an occasional accident due to her anxiety.  She loves to play with other dogs, and will play fetch with someone for as long as they are willing to play.  Cameron's ideal home is with a committed, child-free adopter - preferably with some beagle or dog training experience! Please ask about Cameron so we can find her the loving home she deserves!

GEOFFREY

adult (~4 years), neutered male

 

Hi!  My name is Geoffrey!  I've had an interesting road in my short walk of life...

 

I was bred for research, and arrived at my laboratory when I was 1 year old.  Baseline blood and urine tests showed that something was a little "off" with my kidneys.  The lab kept me for a whole year - never using me in any studies - and after my last round of blood and urine tests about a year later decided that I just could not be used in any studies, and needed to leave the laboratory.  They were kind enough to ask CBR-East if they could take me to help diagnose my condition and find me a forever home.  So here I am! 

 

Update: Geoffrey had an ultrasound which indicated that there are no structural abnormalities to account for his kidney issues.  In some ways that is good, but in others, means that there is something wrong with the way Geoffrey's kidneys are functioning that we cannot really fix.

What Geoffrey has is called glomerulonephritis (GN). It is insufficiency of his kidney function, and causes him to lose protein (proteinuria) through his urine. There are dogs that can live many years with "GN" with just basic support, but adopters must understand that Geoffrey will need continued monitoring and treatment. He is currently taking ACE inhibitors (Enalapril), and takes EFA caps and Colostrum caps as his supplements.  He is on an all natural food, and has yogurt with his breakfast.  He is thriving with this combination and this should continue until a vet recommends a change. His kidney levels will need to be checked every 3 months.

 

Geoffrey is ADORABLE, and just loves to cuddle.  He is afraid of just about everything - including his own shadow and reflection in a mirror!  He is coming along nicely, though, and loves to play with other beagles.  If Geoffrey had been brought into a home when he was a puppy, you would have no idea that there is anything wrong with his kidneys.  He has no clinical symptoms.  It was really own caught because of the testing done in the laboratory which most veterinarians would not normally begin to do for a housepet until about 5-6 years of age! He is working on his housetraining and cratetraining, and would do best in a calm, quiet home with a fenced in yard, another friendly beagle to play with, and someone home a good part of the day.  He would do best in a home with adults only - and preferably no men. He is just afraid of a lot...

SAVANNAH

young (~ 3 years), spayed female

 

My name is Savannah! I was retired from a biomedical research experiment which left me with just 1 kidney!  Hey - I got to help some people with kidney transplant research, and now I get to find a forever home. :) How awesome is that?!

 

I am loving exploring this fascinating world outside the laboratory.  If I can tell you one thing, it is that I LOVE toys!  Balls are really cool, and I love to chew on nylabones. Once I get to know you, I am crazy!  I give kisses all the time, and I love to play with other dogs.  The problem is that when I first meet, I will run away.  I will need very patient adopters to understand this, and still be willing to adopt me and work with me.  I tend to "bolt" whenever I hear a sound, so a fenced in yard is really important.  If there are two things I MUST have in my forever home, they are: a fenced in yard and another dog.

WALKER

adult  (~5 years), neutered male

 

Walker just arrived to CBR-East. :) He is an adorable little beagle who was used in biomedical research studies.  There are no anticipated short or long term effects expected from his "time of service."  Now, we just need to find him a loving home!

 

Update: Walker has had quite an adventure here at CBR-East.  After being with us for less than a week, Walker accidentally got out of his foster home and was lost in the woods and on the busy streets of Princeton, NJ for 8 long days.  With the help of our amazing volunteers, the Princeton community, the Animal Control Officer, and about $1,500 in supplies and reward money, Walker was trapped in a humane trap on the 8th day and came back to CBR-East.  He is settling in nicely in a new foster home, but has some weight to gain, and needs to work on his housetraining.  Walker is quite terrified now when he goes outside, and really wants nothing to do with the outdoors at this point in time.  We think Walker would do best as an only dog in a home since he is challenging the  more dominant dogs in his foster home.  We see the potential for Walker to have some separation anxiety, so someone who is home, or who can give him a lot of attention and training would be the best fit for him. We think an active home with young children will be too overwhelming for Walker.  He is a great little beagle who experienced an 8 day adventure long before he was ready to do so, and now needs to find some security and stability in a wonderful and loving adoptive home.

 

Update:  Walker is doing fabulously!  He is very much a "boy" - loves to wrestle with other dogs (although we still think he would do best as an only dog, but with playdates!), loves to chew on nylabones, is quite muscular and just looks like a handsome boy.  He enjoys being outside again, and has reacted well to new people he has met.  He is cratetrained and housetrained to a schedule.  He still loves his dogbed and would make a great companion for the right adopter!  He is initially cautious with new people and new environments, but with patience and time, will do great!

BO
adult (5 years), neutered male


Bo has arrived at CBR-East! He is such a sweet and handsome boy. After spending his life helping with biomedical research studies, he is now ready to enjoy his retirement! :) He is the perfect mix of a playful pup and a mellow adult. Bo loves to play with toys; he pulls them out of the basket and plays with them one at a time until the basket is empty. Bo loves to go for walks and looks forward to his outings and all the interesting sights and smells along the way. After a little play time, Bo is ready to settle in for a nap on a cozy dog bed.

Bo gets along well with his foster brother and sister both canine and human! He loves to be loved and cuddled and will also just nap in whatever room you are in.  If you walk by him or say his name he wags his tail at you without lifting his head up! What a cutie! Bo cannot be crated, but his house training is coming along well.  With a little time and some patience, he will be 100%!!

Bo would make a great addition to your family.  He friendly and happy and just wants to be loved!!

DUKE
adult (5 years), neutered male
Meet Duke. Duke just turned 5 and he celebrated his birthday by settling in to his retirement and learning about life outside of a laboratory.
 
Duke is a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be loved. He’s adapting well to life in a home (and having a lap to curl up in).
 
He keeps his crate clean and dry both during the day while his foster family is at work and at night.
 
Duke LOVES sitting out in the yard "people-watching" through the fence. If anybody approaches he gets very animated and will stand up on the fence "asking" to be pet or any attention.
 
The neighbor had a children’s party one day and Duke had the best time running up and down the fence keeping up with the kids. At one point their ball came over the fence and Duke chased it and batted it around quite happily until it was retrieved and returned to the kids.
 
Duke is still learning what is and isn’t "OK" to chew, so keeping an eye on him, especially when he gets too quiet is a good idea. Substituting an "approved" object for the incorrect one has been effective.
 
A full flight of stairs is still a challenge for him, but he handles the 4 steps from the back porch to the yard with no problem.
 
So far Duke has met no strangers, simple new friends – men, women, children, cats, other dogs…
 
Housetraining is coming along well as long as he gets outside as soon as he’s loose from his crate we’ve had no accidents, but he would rather be with a person than go outside so it is still necessary to walk him to the door.

LUKE - ADOPTED!
adult (5 years), neutered male

Luke has arrived at CBR-East!

We do have one word that describes Luke - happy. :)  Luke is incredibly friendly, and seems to love everyone he meets - men, women, children...  He even likes the kitten, but just wants to be near her. :)  We would recommend that Luke be an only dog, though, because when he has to share space with some other adult male dogs, he doesn't always enjoy that! He is cratetrained and is working on his housetraining.  He likes to run and play, and his tail is always wagging.  He loves to just curl up in a dog bed in the same room you are in. He is soft like a teddy bear and he'll follow you around just to be near you.  He is quite sweet and incredibly adoptable. :) OK, so maybe there is more than one word to describe the adorable Luke! Please consider giving this little dog, who has spent his entire life being used in nontoxic dosing studies for biomedical research, a chance to "retire" as a loved housepet! You won't be disappointed!

ALFIE
adult (4 years), neutered male mix

Alfie has arrived at CBR-East! OK - so he's not exactly a purebred beagle, BUT, he is absolutely one of our laboratory retirees!  Alfie has spent his entire life in a research facility and never ended up being used for any studies!  We thought that still qualified him for our Laboratory Division, and we made an exception to help this special dog get a second chance at life. :)

I am a very sweet boy but new people and things make me nervous so I will need a patient owner to help me build my confidence. I am totally housebroken and crate trained. I'm looking for a quiet forever home without young children. I love the other dogs in my foster home, and really need to be in a home with at least one other dog (maybe two!). I'm also very good with the two cats in my foster home. I love to play with toys and entertain myself, as well as run around the yard with my beagle foster brother! I'm kind of a loaner when it comes to people, though.  Women are definitely my preferred gender. :) But with some love + patience I'm sure I will learn to be comfortable and affectionate.


ALFIE IS BEING FOSTERED IN CONNECTICUT.
NEW ENGLAND AND CONNECTICUT APPLICATIONS ARE WELCOMED!

RYAN - ADOPTED!
young (2 years), neutered male

Wanted- a loving family who will play with me, take me on walks and introduce me to the exciting world outside of a laboratory.  I am a very friendly 2 year old beagle who is full of curiosity about the world around me.  I am quickly understanding this retirement thing and enjoy racing around.  I seem to like everyone I have met - other dogs, men, women and children.  I haven't met a cat yet, so not sure about those! I keep my crate clean, and give you signals as to when I have to go outside.  I will need continued work with my housetraining, though. I am learning sit, and think I do ok with it, I am learning lie down, or down, and wait. I try real hard and want to make you happy. Will you be my new family?

CHARMS
young (1 year), spayed female

Meet Charms - she's one lucky girl.
First, she gets to retire from her job at just 1 1/2 years old and now she's gonna make the cover of Dog Fancy...

Well, ok that's obviously not true but ya gotta agree she COULD be a cover girl.
She's tiny, she's adorable and she's got beauty to spare. Charms is new to our rescue but she's having a blast in foster care. She currently spends her time chasing her foster brothers and sisters, rollin in the grass and livin the good life every doggie deserves. Charms would be great with kids and she plays very nicely with the pooches in her foster home.  We dunno anything about her and cats but we have a suspicion they wouldn't bother her in the least.  She is working on her cratetraining and housetraining, so you'll just have to help her out a bit with that!

 CAGNEY - ADOPTED!
senior (9 year), spayed female


So how many homes does a beagle really need? You'd think just 1, right?  Well, Cagney and Lacey have had 2 so far, and now at 7 and 9 years old, they are looking for a 3rd - preferably together, if possible!

Cagney and Lacey were surrendered to a vet's office and then a shelter back in 2006.  Their family could no longer afford to keep them.  CBR-East brought them into the rescue and found them a loving family.  Funny how history repeats itself since after 4 years in a loving home, financial reasons are once again plaguing these sweet girls and their owners have returned them to CBR as they once again need to find a new home.  It is not that Cagney and Lacey have had any medical or behavioral problems - their owners were struggling to provide even the basics of routine vet care for them. We think enough is enough for these great beagles who are now in boarding at Camp Bow Wow in Lacey, NJ. This dynamic duo just needs a home to love them and offer some stability and permanence.

Cagney is the older beagle of this awesome pair! :)  She is pretty mellow, and is just a great beagle.  She is housetrained and loves the company of other beagles. She's been living in homes with older children. We would like to keep Cagney & Lacey together since they have never been apart, but we will consider splitting them if absolutely necessary.  Please, we are looking for a true forever home for these great girls.  They deserve it already!  Please apply for this great pair! Cagney would love a nice lap to nap on!

Lacey is the younger beagle of this awesome pair! :)  She is more active and mischievous, but can also be a little more fearful of things like storms.  She'll follow you everywhere you go would love it if you tossed her a bone to chew on every now and then (or every day!). She may need a refresher with housetraining, but in she has the general idea! We would like to keep Cagney & Lacey together since they have never been apart, but we will consider splitting them if absolutely necessary.  Please, we are looking for a true forever home for these great girls.  They deserve it already!  Please apply for this great pair!

MARISSA
young (1 year), spayed female

Meet Marissa! She was involved with a biomedical research experiment which left her with just 1 kidney! The kidney she has is her own, and just like people, dogs can live normal, healthy lives with just one kidney!  All she needs now is a forever home!

So far, Marissa is basically behaving like any other 1 year old beagle!  She is energetic, playful, mischievous, and a lot of fun.  She is cratetrained and is working on her housetraining.  She likes to play with the other dogs in her foster home, but we do not feel she needs to have another dog in her forever home. A fenced in yard would be great to help use up some of her extra energy, though!  She seems to love everyone she meets, so a typical home environment would be wonderful for her. :)

GABBY - ADOPTION PENDING
young (1 year), spayed female

Hi! I'm Gabby Rae, and I am ready for a home! I spent some time hanging out at a research facility, but then they didn't need me, so I am ready to start a new life. :) I'm a small little girl who loves to be held and have my tummy rubbed. :)  I love playing with my beagle foster sister. I even met my neighbors cat and he was nice too.  Like most beagles, I will do anything for a treat.. I can sit and lay down when you ask me. I even spend all night sleeping quietly in my crate. I am doing well with my cratetraining and housetraining, but will need someone willing to continue to help me with those things!  I'm not a big fan of the car, so someone who doesn't expect me to take frequent car rides would be ideal!  C'mon - it's more fun to snuggle with me on the couch anyway!

I am a higher energy beagle, so another beagle in the home and a fenced in yard would be best for me. I haven't met anyone I haven't liked, so if you have the right set up for me, please give me a shout! :)

CELIA - ADOPTED
young (3-4 years), spayed female
Hi!! I am Celia. I am about 3 years old and weigh only about 13 pounds! I am small, so my top weight will probably be about 15 pounds. I am adjusting well to my foster home.  I get along well with the dogs here and also the cat. I love to play with the other dogs. I have my own crate and I am quiet when I am in there. Sometimes I have an accident and wet in the crate or in the house, but I am doing much better with that. I love to ride in the car and just curl up on the seat and enjoy the ride. I walk on the leash several times a day and enjoy going outside. I do not bark much and love to sleep in the chair next to one of the other dogs. I am friendly and love to lick, lick and lick my foster Mom's face. I am a happy girl. :) If you think you can help me with the rest of my housetraining, I will make a great companion.
 
DRU- ADOPTED
young (1-2 years), spayed female

Hi!! My name is Dru but I should have been named Pee-Wee coz I'm very small! I'm new to CBR but the ladies that helped drive me here from the shelter all commented about my sweet personality.
I currently am in foster care with some pretty cool pups and when we aren't all playing in the yard you can find me curled up on the daybed (check me out in the photo!! This is the life).

I'm up to date on vaccines, weigh in at only 12 or 13 lbs and guess what? I won't get much bigger! I'm crate trained (keep it dry every night and day), although I do not love my crate. I love cuddling. :)  
 
EINSTEIN - ADOPTED
senior (7 year), neutered male

Einstein is a great senior beagle who spent his life helping others while participating in biomedical research.  Now, it's time for him to enjoy his retirement!
