Spike's Story

UPDATED 9/12/2026! Hi! My name is Spike & I'm a super sweet male tricolor beagle! I'm quite the character! I'm outgoing & friendly! I also love to cuddle & snuggle! I'm middle-aged, which is a great age for a beagle! I came to Nittany Beagle Rescue from a shelter. I was in pretty bad shape when I went into the shelter - my snout was full of porcupine quills. That's how I got my name! LOL But I'm doing much better now. I am neutered & am ready to go to my forever home! Until recently, I've probably always lived outdoors in a pen. But I'm in a foster home now. And I LOVE being with people, & snuggling on the couch! I'm just so happy! I've had a couple of zoomies today (9/12/26)! But I'm also very calm! I share my food and toys with my foster home's dog. I walk well on a leash, too! I've discovered that I don't like dry kibble by itself anymore; I really want some wet food mixed in! :) I do well in a crate. Sometimes I'll cry a little in the crate, but then settle down quickly. Right now, I don't like being left alone - but everything is so new to me. My people will just need to work with me on that. I'll need more work on housetraining. But Nittany Beagle Rescue can give you suggestions & advice for that. Please think about making me part of your family! I'm so ready to be loved & have a home of my own! I weigh about 24 lbs.

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.
