WHO WE ARE
Beagles to the Rescue is a 501(c)(3) charity that is dedicated to helping Beagle dogs and puppies find forever homes. We provide our pups with veterinary care, vaccinations and socialization. We ask applicants questions designed to ensure the best pooch/human match possible.  When the Beagle you adopt meets your desires and expectations, the adoption or fostering is much more likely to succeed.

We pay for any vet care a foster dog may need, we provide a crate and transitional food, along with flea and heartworm preventative. We ask you to feed / water / shelter and love the foster dog while you have him. We are in dire straits, please help if you can.

Adopt a Senior Pet

Senior animals are often overlooked in favor of younger pets. There is a lot to be said for adopting a mature animal. With older pets you know the personality you are getting. They are already trained and used to living in a household. They aren’t as high energy as their younger counterparts and their exercise requirements are reduced.

 Senior pets are a great choice for an older person seeking companionship or a full-time working household with limited time to train a new pet.

We have some wonderful senior dogs at BTTR that would be very grateful for a second chance at a safe, caring home. Don’t let age discourage you from considering them for adoption. They will repay you with years of love and devotion.

We have a number of senior dogs right now who have arrived at BTTR through no fault of their own. Some of our seniors have included Corky, whose owner died and Martha -- who had been a stray, Darla and Maize were pets surrendered when their owner didn't realize that the pet clause on his new home's lease wouldn't let them stay with him... the reasons are varied... but in not one instance did one of our senior dogs arrive at BTTR because they were misbehaving or anything that was their fault. Please consider one of these dogs. All of the seniors listed above were house dogs, and they all miss being inside their homes. They are also already spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and many of them are already house-trained.


"Senior" MAGOO is First BTTR Adoption of 2010!

We are so very pleased to announce that Mr. Magoo - survivor of his 4 day escape during a Nor'Easter while in foster care, and BTTR resident for almost all of 2009, was the first dog adopted from BTTR in 2010.

Magoo had a hard start in life, so this adoption is particularly special. Magoo had several angels in his life this past year.

Stacey Sutton found him in a kill shelter and notified BTTR of his situation.  She also transported him a good portion of the way to BTTR.

A volunteer fostered Magoo for quite awhile.

A third set of Magoo fans introduced him to their grandpa, and the two senior gents took to one another quite well. Magoo has landed in clover. He is sleeping in his new Dad's bed at night. Dad isn't sure how that happened since he envisions Magoo using a crate... but they worked it out between them.

Congratulations Mr. Magoo! You finally made it HOME, boy!!!


BTTR offers a Senior Discount

BTTR offers a discount if you are age 60 years or older and would like to adopt a BTTR friend age 7 or older. Like all our adoptions, the dog will be spayed or neutered, heartworm tested and vaccinated. If you are ever unable to care for your BTTR dog, we will take him back.

Drivers Needed!
Can you spare a lift?

We sometimes need volunteers to help us with transporting dogs from their original shelter to the Family Dog Club, as well as to and from local medical appointments and adoption events. If you are willing to sometimes be an occasional BTTR Road Warrior, please let us know, so we can have you on the driver volunteer list.  Click here to email us your name and telephone number.  You can also call Laurel at 757-641-7075 with your information. We'll want to know what areas / distance you are willing to drive to, and what days of the week you are most likely to be available.

We appreciate ANY type of dog food that you donate, but if you are shopping for dog food specifically to donate it, please buy Purina ProPlan Plus Weight Control or Adult formula. We no longer collect Nutro labels for free food bags... we never got a single free bag out of the program... turns out you have to preregister (took over a month to get a response to that), have an envelope at the store, get credited at that store at the time of purchase, they DON'T honor this program at PetSmart ... just a bunch of stuff like that. Just not worth the hassle. But again, we'll take any food we can get for these little guys, Nutro, ProPlan, Whatever:) you can spare. THANKS!!!



WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP BTTR?

Your donations can help feed, neuter/spay, vaccinate, or provide other necessary care for the beagles awaiting adoption. Your time can help us participate in adoption events, or help transport / train / or socialize a dog.

You can even JUST GO SHOPPING!  iGive.com provides donations to BTTR for any purchase made on their website for OVER 700 STORES!! Check them out - it's free to you, they just donate a portion of your purchase price!
