Frank's Story

Hi! My name is Frank! I'm a 6-year old male tricolor beagle. I'm the sweetest boy! And so gentle! I love being close to people & I love to be petted! I'm fantastic with other dogs! I need a home with at least one other dog - preferably a beagle! Other dogs in the home helps me feel more secure. I'm very good with cats also! I've been around young children & I'm very good with them - however, I need a quiet home. I like to visit with calm children! I love routine - so I need a home where we do the same thing every day! I spent the 1st 4 years of my life as a teaching beagle in a vet school. At one point I was kept in isolation for 3 weeks for a radiation oncology trial. When I left the vet school, I was on 3 different anti-anxiety medications. But now I'm down to just 1! I'm still overwhelmed by noise, large things & sudden movements. I will cower & jump really bad if there is a sudden noise. If I'm getting really anxious, I'll hang my head. My new people have to be very patient & loving. Change makes me nervous, so it will take awhile before I adjust to my new home. I went into a NBR foster home a few days ago, & having the other dogs in the home really helps! I'm housetrained - but not when I first go into a new home. (I was afraid to go outside the 1st few days in my foster home - but now I follow the other dogs & I'm fine!). I cannot be crated. I used to fall over when someone would put a leash on me, but my people worked with me & now I walk well on a leash! However, it's possible I'll regress a little when I go to a new home. A home with a nice size fenced in yard would be perfect for me! I'm already neutered & up-to-date on vaccines. I have some allergies, but cytopoint injections 2 times a year & being bathed with a medicated shampoo controls them! I probably need a dental, I'll have that done before I'm adopted. If you think you are the right home for me, please think about submitting an application. Kennel License #4068

Nittany Beagle Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue dog & Nittany Beagle Rescue! We are a foster-home based rescue. We hold showings on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of the month at Lyons Kennels in Bellefonte, PA from 11am - 1pm. You can meet some of our dogs then! Please email or send a PM on our FB page if you want to know if a particular dog will be at the showing. If you are interested in a particular dog, or a type of dog, please submit an application to foster or adopt (it's the same application form). Once you have an approved application for a dog, we will connect you with the dog's foster parent. Typically the potential adopter & foster talk on the telephone first. Then if the dog seems like a good fit, we arrange a personal meet & greet. To download an application form, please go to (or copy & paste the link into your browser): https://www.nittanybeaglerescue.org/adopt.cfm For a full listing of our events, please go the Events page of our website: https://www.nittanybeaglerescue.org/events.cfm No same day adoptions.
