Story
Hi. My name is Lucky and I need to find my new home. I am approx. 12-13 yrs. old and weigh 37 lbs. I was surrendered to Penny Angels Beagle Rescue (PABR) almost 1 year ago and recently had surgery to remove a mammary tumor and another growth near my back end. I was such a good girl at the veterinary office. Now that my staples are removed and I am healing nicely, I can start my forever home search. I am spayed and up-to-date with my vaccinations. I have been using a doggie door in Rescue during the day. I will need to learn new rules in your home. I don’t look very happy in my photo, but PABR says that I am a happy girl with a nice disposition. I get along fine with other dogs. I have been in Rescue too long and need to quickly find a home where I will be loved forever. Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If you are interested in adopting Lucky, please fill out an application and submit it to Penny Angels Beagle Rescue. Her adoption fee is $225, cash or check. The application is available at www.pennyangelsbeaglerescue.com. If your application is approved, you will be contacted by email or phone. PABR will let you know a date and time for your adoption. If you have any questions, contact beagler534@comcast.net AND emnase@aol.com, or call Penny Angels Beagle Rescue at 609-965-9476. Thank you!

Story
Bear is a purebred professionally trained dog. We have had him Since he was a puppy. He’s loving and loyal and will be an amazing guard dog. He loves other dogs and is house trained and crate trained. He does best with male figures. Unfortunately, he continues to show aggression toward children; he has bitten children in the past and shows intention of doing so again during even the most careful interactions. We have children in our home and in the neighborhood and feel Bear needs a setting that will not place others at risk. If you feel you need a loyal, loving guard dog he may be the dog for you!

Story
Patches is energetic and needs an active person or family. He is lovable and playful. I have health issues and can not provide him with enough playtime and stimulation. I rescued him from a shelter about a year and a half ago. He will turn 2 in January. He is very well cared for and I have a few months of his monthly flea, tick and heartworm medicine to give to whomever adopts him. I would be happy to provide the name of his vet as well as give you his records. I just want him to be adopted by someone who will give him the love and attention he craves and deserves.

Quinten is a very loveable boy who was abused in his very short life. so he does have a bite history. A familiy with no small children or other animals will be best for this boy..He's a loving loyal dog once he settles in Needs a single family home because he becomes protective of his owners He must have a leaded, someone that shows authority. He will need to adjust slowly as of his abused history please give Quinten a chance
