We understand that this can be a very difficult and emotional decision.

Before you give up your beagle, please consider ways that you might keep him.....

Here are some great articles that might help you:

If you truly feel that you must give up your beagle, we may be able to find your dog a loving forever home. Because foster home space is severely limited, we generally ask the family surrendering their dog to care for it until a suitable foster/forever home can be found. If this is not possible, we will almost always accept your dog into our rescue.

SoAz Beagle Rescue rigorously promotes and practices a "No-Kill" philosophy. Due to the sheer number of animals received, most govenment run and other large shelters must employ a euthanasia policy. Good quality dogs with no phyiscal or behaviorial problems may have as many as two to six weeks to be adopted. Stray animals are usually afforded a few extra days before being moved to the adoptable list to give their families an opportunity to find them. However, owner "turn-ins", especially those animals over five years of age, or who show obvious "unadoptable characteristics" have a very short life expectancy because no one will be looking for them... or at them.

We offer an option that guarantees your dog will live out his or her natural life in a family home environment where they will be loved and very well cared for.

To help us defray expenses and facilitate our being able to rescue more dogs, we request a very modest $25 donation. This modest donation covers about 20% of the average cost of preparing a dog for adoption, and is 100% tax deductable. Of course, we also gladly accept larger donations because those dogs with "unadoptable characteristics"will most likely never leave foster care, and SoAZBR will pay their expenses for the rest of their lives.
