Before filling out an application, read the guidelines to make sure you are ready to adopt a beagle.  If you are interested in adopting a puppy, please read our Puppy Guidelines.
Browse the list of available beagles and find a few that you and your family may be interested in.
Fill out the Adoption Application completely and honestly. We want to make the best match between our beagles and your lifestyle.

While we understand that you may be interested in one or two dogs in particular, it is very possible that another adopter is also interested in that same dog and is currently further along in the approval process.  We ask that you try not to get your heart set on just one dog.  Pick a few and keep checking back; we are getting new beagles all the time.

The Approval Process

1

Our approval process generally takes between 2-3 weeks to complete. As part of the approval process, a vet reference check will be performed for current and recent pet owners. Not providing a valid vet reference will delay your approval.
2

Typically within 7-10 days a volunteer will contact you to schedule a virtual home visit. During the home visit, we will ask to see your home and meet your family to help us gauge which beagle is a good fit for you. We will also answer any questions you may have and make recommendations to prepare you and your family for a beagle.

After the home visit you will be notified if you are approved to adopt. If you are approved, Congratulations! you are ready to add a beagle to your family! Your adoption coordinator will work with you to find the best beagle for you.

NOTE: Triangle Beagle Rescue is an all-volunteer organization so the length of time between steps in the application process varies based on a volunteer’s availability.  We do our best to process your application in a timely manner and appreciate your patience.  We do not encourage people to try to rush through the application as adopting a beagle is a lifetime commitment and we want to be sure that the decision to adopt is carefully considered!  If there are more than 7-10 days between steps in your application process, please email us at info@tribeagles.org  and we can follow up on your application.  Also, please be aware that not all families are approved as our guidelines are fairly strict. Being denied does not mean that you are a poor dog owner, but rather that you may not be suited to meet the needs of a rescue beagle.
