My story

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

Joker came from Louisiana to find his forever home. He is around 25 pounds, and he is as young as 4 or as old as 7! Joker was skinny when he was found stray. He has put on some much-needed pounds and is looking and acting younger by the day. Joker tested positive for heart worms and will be adopted with a year’s supply of Advantage Multi to complete his slow kill treatment.

Joker has good house manners and rarely is seen marking even with several competing males in the pack! He can be playful with members of the pack but is happy to be on his own. He has a healthy ‘beagle’ appetite and will need monitoring as he fills out. He could be a round little ball without much encouragement!

Joker has a sweet natured and is gentle around kids. He enjoys getting attention but is never demanding. Joker is what we call a perfect starter beagle! He will make a wonderful companion to some lucky family.

Additional adoption info

The first step in our adoption process is for interested parties to complete the on-line adoption application found on our website. We require an adoption fee ($300 for purebred beagles and coon hounds; $250 for mixes; $200 for special needs or seniors 8 years +; and $350 for pups age 8 mo. or younger) and an adoption contract. ALL dogs will be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoption!

Go meet their pets

Check our website at www.HoustonBeagleRescue.org for info. We typically have meet & greet events on the second Sunday of each month, from noon to 3:00 p.m. and will always bring several of the rescued beagles to that event, so look up the location of the month on our website, and come meet some adorable beagles! We also periodically hold special activities, and occasionally attend Houston-area adoption events which will be listed on our "events" section of our website. Our quarterly newsletter is published on our website at www.HoustonBeagleRescue.org
