Adoption Day CANCELED

Due to the impending snowstorm, we have decided to cancel our Adoption Day at Petsmart for Saturday, 2-6-10. We hope to see you on our next Adoption Day, 2-13-10. Stay safe!

Donation Fund for Jax

We recently rescued Jax the beagle from a Maryland shelter and he really is the sweetest boy! Unfortunately, he faces not only heartworm treatment, but cataract surgery for both of his eyes. He is only 5 years old, so he has many good years of life left in him. The cataract surgery will cost approximately $3300 and will have to wait until his heartworm treatment is completed. In the meantime, we are hoping to raise some funds to go toward his care. Donations for Jax can be mailed to Penny Angels Beagle Rescue or brought to Petsmart on Saturdays from 11 am -3:30 pm. Thanks so much for your continued support!

Our 7th annual Penny Drive begins again in February. Bring your spare change to Petsmart on Saturdays from 11 am - 3:30 pm, or call Joan at 609-965-9476 to arrange for pick-up of your donation. Thank you!

Become a Penny Angels Sponsor for a Special Beagle

We have started a Sponsor program for the rescued beagles who are not adoptable and will live out the remainder of their days with Penny Angels. Many of these beagles came from unfortunate living situations and are afraid, timid or not suitable for adoption due to behavior issues. A contribution of $10.00 per month will be used for food, medical care, medicines, toys and treats. In exchange, we will send you addressed envelopes to mail your contributions, a color photo of the dog you are sponsoring and a description of your new beagle friend written by Joan Kerr. The following dogs would appreciate your Sponsor contributions: Amy, Calvin, Cola, Dolly, Hershey, Katie, Krammer, Lucy, Patty, Taffy and Todd. Sadly, one of our sponsored beagles, Barrow, passed away on 11-17-09. Joan & Ken took good care of this sweet girl during the 6 months that she was with them in Rescue. You can sponsor any of our beagles during the year. Thank you for your support!

Before You Adopt??

We at Penny Angels Beagle Rescue love our Beagles as members of our families. If you intend to adopt from us, we expect the same loyalty. Although we realize family situations can change and unexpected, tragic events can happen, we expect adoptive families to make a lifetime commitment to their dog. If you do not intend to make such a commitment, please strongly reconsider your decision to adopt. If you have children under the age of five, please seriously reconsider your decision to adopt a dog. We have had dogs returned to rescue because of incidents with very young children. A small child may not know how to properly interact with a dog. This could frighten the dog and cause him to growl and possibly bite. Being bitten can leave your child with a fear of dogs. Puppies are even worse to have with young children as they tend to mistreat the pups and the dogs become biters to protect themselves. Make adoption a happy experience for everyone by waiting until your children are older.

A Word About Hunting Dogs

Many of the Beagles coming through the rescue are former hunting dogs. These Beagles tend to be very relaxed in the house. Often they are not as playful as other dogs but they love to be with people and make ideal companions. They easily adapt to indoor living and appreciate a warm, comfortable home. Having a fenced yard is good for them as it gives them the opportunity to safely track small animals, an activity they truly enjoy. Leash walks are another activity they love. They are seldom hyper-active and are generally friendly to humans. So if you are considering adopting a Beagle, please do not rule out the retired hunting dog. They have spent their lives serving mankind. Give them a chance to enjoy the good life.

Advantages of Adopting an Adult Dog

Many adult dogs are already housebroken. The size and temperament of the dog is already known. Most adult dogs are beyond the puppy "chewing stage". They are generally calmer and easier to handle. Many know basic commands and walk well on a leash. Puppies get adopted fairly quickly. By taking an adult dog into your home, you are saving a life.

WHO WE ARE

Penny Angels Beagle Rescue is a non-profit organization whose mission is to safely find homes for unwanted, abandoned, injured, senior or stray beagles. We are dedicated to taking in unwanted beagles from shelters or private homes. Each dog that comes into Rescue is examined by a veterinarian, tested for heartworms, brought up to date with vaccines, and spayed or neutered. If they need special care, it is provided.

If you are interested in adopting one of our beagles, please contact us directly so we can start the adoption process. We require both personal and vet references. We need to be able to verify that you are either a homeowner, or rent a property that allows you to have pets. Having a fenced yard is a plus! Any adoptions that do not work out must be brought back to our rescue as stated in our contract.

THANK YOUS & KUDOS

Thank you to the staff and management of the Mays Landing Petsmart for their assistance with our adoption days. We would also like to acknowledge the generous people who have made donations of cash and supplies. Our job is never done, but with the generosity and kindness of our supporters we are able to go on.

COME MEET OUR DOGS!

If you are interested in meeting with one of our beagles, please contact us to let us know which dog interests you. There is a $150.00 adoption fee for adult dogs that is tax deductible. The adoption fee for puppies up to the age of 1 year is $265.00. This includes current vaccinations, the dog being altered and microchipped. Please call 609-965-9476 if you have any questions regarding any of the fees mentioned above.
