My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This poor guy is so scared... Kris has very low vision. He sees light and shadow to a degree, but little else. We don't know what his life was like before he got to us, but he's going to need some time to decompress and understand that his life has just taken a sudden turn for the better. It's hard enough for any rescued dog to adjust to so many changes, but Kris can't see and that has to be doubly scary. He flattens himself to the floor when it's obvious that the humans want something from him, so therefore he needed to be carried from the vet to the car and into his foster home. He does perk up when outside and is happy to explore his fenced yard with his nose. We just need to get him used to people. He's a nice boy - and not a mean bone in his body. He takes great comfort in other gentle friendly dogs. We think once he understands the concept of being safe, he'll come around. Stay tuned! Better photos will be coming soon.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require submission of an online application. If all requirements are met, we do a home visit and check the vet reference (when it applies). Please refer to our website to see the kinds of questions we ask. We ask for a tax-deductible adoption donation of $400. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on their shots (rabies, distemper and parvo, bordetella), are heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative, micro-chipped and de-wormed.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a centralized location, but you can visit our website to find out when and where we hold our adoption events (usually twice a month). We also take part in special fairs and events. You can come and meet with some of our dogs then.
If you see a dog on our website that you are interested in, we request that you first fill out our Application and submit it electronically.

More about this rescue

Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland is dedicated to helping all beagles in need. Most of the dogs that come into the rescue are hunter rejects, either because they do not want to hunt, or because they are too old or simply ill. Our goal is to rehabilitate these wonderful companion dogs and place them in forever loving homes. We are a network of foster homes and rely solely on the dedication of volunteers. Our motto is: "Hug your hound, don't take him to the pound."
