Story
We adopt all over the map, and would happily come all the way to your home if you can't come to us 🩵 Meet Buddy, our adorable 2-year-old Maltipoo whose name truly couldn’t fit him any better. Buddy is everyone’s friend, and he seems to make that decision from the moment he meets you. 🩵 There really isn’t much of a warming-up period with this little guy. Buddy loves meeting new people and greets everyone as though they might just be his newest best friend. He has one of those happy, unforgettable personalities that makes you feel as though you’ve known him far longer than you actually have. Buddy came to us because his previous owner found herself facing financial circumstances that made continuing to care for him increasingly difficult. She had always made sure Buddy’s needs were met and never wanted him to reach a point where he had to go without the basic necessities and care he deserved. Rather than waiting until things became harder, she made the incredibly responsible decision to reach out to us and ask for help finding Buddy a wonderful new home. And now that’s exactly what we’re hoping to find for him. 🩵 Buddy loves his walks and will happily join you just about anywhere. Whether you’re taking a simple walk around the block, heading out for an afternoon together, or strolling along while doing a little window shopping, Buddy is ready to come along. He genuinely enjoys being part of whatever his people are doing. He’s also GREAT on road trips. We’ve had Buddy with us on a few of our longer drives, and he absolutely loved venturing along. He’s the kind of dog who makes having a companion beside you feel easy because he’s simply happy to be included. Buddy is wonderful with other dogs and does great with cats as well. He previously lived with cats and couldn’t have cared less about sharing his home with them, making him a wonderful option for a family with other four-legged members already waiting at home. He is house trained and goes outside to use the restroom when asked. His house manners are wonderful, and he is also crate trained. Buddy currently sleeps peacefully in his crate at night, but he doesn’t need to remain a crate sleeper forever. With the manners he’s shown us in the home, I believe he would do just fine transitioning to sleeping outside of his crate if that’s what his future family prefers. Buddy isn’t a barker and is generally very well adapted to the everyday sounds happening around him. Like most dogs, he may occasionally alert if something unfamiliar genuinely catches him off guard, but unnecessary barking simply isn’t part of his normal personality. He’s also wonderful at the groomers and handles his grooming beautifully. As a Maltipoo, regular brushing and professional grooming will need to remain part of his lifelong care to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. Medically, Buddy is fully vetted and ready for adoption. He is neutered, microchipped, current on all of his vaccines, and has been cared for and prepared for his transition into his forever home. There are some dogs you meet and feel like you’re still getting to know weeks later, and then there are dogs like Buddy. He’s the kind of dog who can walk into your life and somehow make it feel as though he’s always been there. He loves easily, adapts beautifully, enjoys people and animals alike, and is just genuinely happy to be part of your world. Maybe that’s what makes his name so perfect 😊 He’s not looking for just an owner. He’s ready to become someone’s Buddy for life. 🩵 Buddy’s adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/buddy It helps cover all veterinary care and vetting completed, his neuter, microchip, vaccinations, professional grooming, training, and the overall time, care and love invested in him while with us.

Story
My name is Miles! I followed my new mama home in early May and she decided to foster me. I’m an intact 4 y.o. male who’s chipped. My other family dumped me. I’m crate trained, travel well (as long as I’m leashed to the seat), and love to go for short walks. I also love to snuggle on your lap! I am potty trained, except when she goes to work, I sometimes pee in the house. I get anxious when people and other dogs walk by me - I bark a lot and pull on my leash. I also resource guard my food and if I think Puppers (mama’s other dog) is going to my food, I run to my food and start growling (our bowls are on opposite sides of the room). I stress out with grooming and dr appts (I growl and may try to bite you). My mom had to learn the hard way (sorry mom). So now she gives me half a trazadone to calm me down and it works. She really wants to keep me, she’s afraid I might hurt Puppers or momma. I’ll do well being the only dog in the house.

Story
Arthur is a young 5 yr, 12 lb maltipoo neutered guy.  So friendly and cuddly - adores his peeps.  Watch out...he can squeeze through a slim space in your yard, though he does then run to the front door to come back in....still scary.  Appts to meet n greet Wednesdays thru Sundays between 9 am and 1 pm.  Tell us your preferred day/time when you email your completed application.  We know our dogs well - as we become better acquainted with you/your family, we can do a better job of suggesting who is a good fit for you...and vice verse....*Note that young dogs and pure breeds are at the highest end of our prices.* Please find our applications and valuable information under  "Adopt a dog"* on our website:  *www.beaglesandbuddies.com* and email your application to beaglesandbuddies@gmail.com. Let us know your preference of appointment day/time and which dogs you are interested in and we will do our best to accommodate and email you the closest appointment available. Please allow us up to a week to get back to you. Most appointments will be Friday-Sunday, 10 am - 2 pm, for an hour. *Note bring any other dog/s and the entire family to your meet and greet at B&B.* A complimentary training manual is included with each adoption, authored by terristeuben.com. Check out her website - she is fabulous! B&B is glad to be open during the pandemic. We know the value and comfort of a loving pet companion and are doing our best to help the dogs and folks who need them. We update our website daily and are always rescuing, vetting, rehabilitating, socializing. ​ Are you my furrever family? For further info on the adoption process, please visit our home page and check out the "Adopt a Dog" section, which has thorough instructions.  All our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and  fully vaccinated before adoption; they have been wormed, bathed, socialized, walked daily and much loved; each adoptee leaves with a leash, collar, and all medical records.   Our prices are higher than the shelters' because we nurse the dogs through their illnesses and get them needed surgeries and dentals. We also spend time socializing. Furthermore, unlike shelters, rescues do not get financial aid from the government and must rely on donations, grants, and adoption fees. Our fees for adults start at $150 and usually go up to $750. Young adults that are high in demand may be a little over $750.00. For puppies and purebreds, we charge up to $1000. The lower end is for dogs who have been here a while. The good news is that, because rescues fall under the "charity" category, the fees for our dogs are officially donations and are therefore tax deductible. You can think of it as donating to a worthy cause and getting a dog in return!  Sponsor Me Beagles & Buddies must find ways to raise money so we can continue saving dogs. Your tax-deductible donation keeps our rescue kennel operating!  Hours Friday:  10 am to 3 pm Saturday:  10 am to 3 pm Sunday: 10 am to 3 pm Monday: CLOSED Tuesday: CLOSED Wednesday: CLOSED Thursday: CLOSED ​ Weekday appointments may be available.  We are a small staff and do our best to accommodate your needs. **Note that during COVID, we are not holding open houses on any day. Please email us for an appointment and include your application (found on our website, beaglesandbuddies.com, under "Forms"). Most appointments will be Friday through Sunday, though other days may also be available. We usually schedule one appointment per hour. Allow 1-2 hours for your appointment. Please look at our website and make a list of one or more dogs that you would like to see. Contacting Us If you have a question about adopting, giving up a dog, boarding, or volunteering, please visit the appropriate tabs on our  home page. For more specific questions, call 626-444-9664 (please leave a voicemail if no answer) or email at beaglesandbuddies@gmail.com. Note that  Emailing  is always preferred!   Thanks!
