Brianna is a coonhound mix. She is around 52 pounds. This beautiful bluetick girl found herself at the local kill shelter while being extremely pregnant. We committed to her as soon as we saw her in the shelter. We inquired the same day she came in and expressed our interest in getting her out before the babies came. They decided not to release her early. So we waited patiently for the 72 hour hold to be up. With less than 24 hours to get her, I received an email from the shelter stating they did a spay and killed all of the babies. This was like a gut punch and I was so saddened they took this route. Yes spaying and neutering is our local law and we always abide with that and if she was early on with pregnancy, we would have understood, but aborting and spaying her when she is at term, that is horrific and cruel. They also made her stay an extra day in shelter. We finally got her. Brianna is beautiful and a nice girl. She had already filled with milk, so that will need to dry up. We are caring for her and evaluating her. She is needy but we are unsure if this is hormonal or in fact a true trait. Most of our moms are needy. She gets hot flashes so we are leaning towards hormonal. It takes a bit for hormones to die down, especially since she was so pregnant. She does have a bit of a prey drive with very small dogs and tries to show dominance with new dogs, but is easily corrected. She has just learned the dog door. She will follow you where you go but does need some direction for behavior and socialization. She can be a bit of a picky eater. We have a few crates around for dogs that prefer one. she does use the crates. We never close the doors. She tends to go into the crates that are too small for her. It makes me think she was confined to a too small crate previously and now thinks that is normal. She is doing good!
Adoption fee is 400 which helps cover all of the medical for all of the dogs in the rescue. All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped and many have received further treatment for such conditions as lump removal, severe ear infections, dental cleanings, bloodwork, leg injuries, etc..
We do out of state adoptions but require a submitted application, a home visit (sometimes we cannot get this done and then we can not adopt), and the adopter must come to Las Vegas to meet the potential dog(s), possibly adopt, and then drive the dog back.
Disclaimer: The SNBRF has the right to deny applications based on our adoption policies established for the consideration of the health, safety, and well-being of the dog. Beagles can have a lifespan of 15-18 years. Therefore, beagles or any other breed who are under 3 years of age will NOT be adopted to anyone over the age of 62. For individuals who are 70 years of age and older, the dogs must be 8 years or older
