Roz Age: 8 mo. Sex: female spayed Our foster mom and dad noticed that Roz's right eye looked a bit funny, and her pupil didn't dilate. She was seen by an opthamologist on 9/15 who said she must have suffered some trauma early in her life and and little to no vision in the right eye. She doesn't know any better but you'll notice she'll turn her head to be able to look at you with her left eye. There is no treatment required and no medical complications indicated. Roz is better in the kennel than sister Daphne but prefers being loose, but needs training. Work with Enrichment games/ideas in kennel. Canine Enrichment page on facebook is great. Isn't a chewer of bed like sister. Sweet, a bit timid but tail up and whole body. All puppy. Food motivated. Needs leash and house training as any puppy would. Both are go go go. Volunteers have been spending extra time. Love their little hearts. Contact Denise of SOS Beagle Rescue at 267-221-7681 email: denisesaugling@gmail.com PA-548178

Austin Age: 3 yr. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE HERMAN FAMILY - 8/12/25 Pulled from a partner TN shelter. Black and tan with a touch of white. 22 lbs a bit thick. Can lose a couple pounds, as could most of us! A happy goofy boy. Gets along well with other dogs but can overwhelm some shyer dogs with his outgoing personality. . He goes out doggy door with Pam's in TN. He can be mischievous and lead the pack in kitchen chaos if not watched. Ok on leash. Pam doesn't crate. His PA foster said (after 4 days with him) - Austin is turning into an awesome foster. He calmed down a lot since the first day - he still loves to play fetch and wrestle with Zelda, but after a session he is happy laying on the couch or in the window. Right now he is laying on the rug behind my desk while I do some work. He has had no pee accidents, and now that I think I finally broke his "poop code" he hasn't had any poop accidents in the house. Now that we are more confident about his potty training, we let him loose in the house when we are here as long as he has gone to the bathroom recently. He has taken very well to the crate - he doesn't love going in, but all it takes is a gentle push to get him going. Once he is in the crate, he will stay there quietly for an hour or so, and has been spending every night in the crate in a bedroom with one of us with very little crying. Overall he is a pretty quiet dog. He only barks when he wants out of the crate. He has an amazing nose and is constantly sniffing things out in the yard. He loves soft toys and tennis balls. We have not caught him trying to chew on many things in the house, and when we do, we correct him and he leaves it alone. Mostly he only "mouths" the soft toys and blankets, but does not do any damage to them. Austin is also doing a great job on the leash - he does love to wander, and can get under my feet if I'm not careful, but overall is doing well. Lisa updated us the end of June - Austin is continuing to settle in. We had a major backslide with potty training, but I think we are back on track. He does not like to go potty in the yard (unless Zelda has just peed, then he will pee where she did). Taking him down to the street and walking him along the curb seems to help. He does not show any indication that he needs to go to the bathroom that I have figured out yet, so he is on a strict potty schedule. If it's been awhile since he has peed, and he is wandering around the house, I will put him in the crate. Fortunately, he has been doing well in the crate, and doesn't mind it as long as we are in the room with him. He is such a silly and playful pup - he will take a toy and toss it up in the air for himself. He can be clumsy, but that adds to his adorableness. He loves shoes and socks, and will steal them - but so far he has not chewed on anything enough to cause any damage. He is very attached to people - he usually prefers to lay on the floor next to where we are sitting. OK, he just tends to be thick all around (legs, tail, etc.) and has a bit of a barrel chest. He has an obvious waist, and is a slow eater (even though he is always excited for meal time). He does get distracted VERY easily. If he latches on to a scent, there is nothing you can do to get his attention. I think this might be part of his issue with peeing in the yard - he would much rather sniff than do his business. He also tends to get distracted while he is eating - he will stop several times, but if I shake his food bowl, he will come back to his food. He will make a great pet - but probably best with someone who is willing to take some time to continue training.

O'Malley Age: 4-5 yrs. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE O'BRIEN/DRAVING FAMILY - 7/30/25 O’Malley- a bit larger, tri-colored male. Foster's kind of beagle! He is more confident in group and can be more assertive with the other dogs but hasn’t had an issue with anyone. He keeps to himself mostly but comes running anytime I call or if you’re loving on someone. He wants his turn too! Limited experience with leash walking because he took to the shop routine quickly. He is still working on keeping a clean kennel but doesn’t potty in the shop during the day, only in the kennel on the overnight. Now that he is neutered I think that will stop as well. Treat motivated and eager to please so he should excel with more one on one attention.

Dynamite Age: 1 yr. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE EARDLEY FAMILY - 8/2/25 24 lbs, stray from Hurricane-hit Sullivan Co. TN shelter. TN foster says he is getting the hang of house time, yard play and her dogs. Dynamite is a sweet, feisty dog who loves to play with other dogs-large or small. He's still learning to adjust to a home but in just 3 weeks, sits for the foster on command, works well with an electric fence and loves to cuddle!

Frazier Age: 6-7 months Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE FEDERICO FAMILY AND SOS ALUMNI ATHENA - 8/16/25 One of 4 surrendered to a partner shelter, Frazier, the largest of the 4 but not even 20 lbs. is around 6-7 months. Owner of all 4 was an older gentleman that kept them when couldn't find homes? Skinny and under socialized. Frazier is the most people oriented. He is goofy, one day while on quarantine I accidently left top of kennel open when I ran downstairs. He wasn't thrilled pottying in his crate initially but with quarantine they had to. Well he climbed out, went in a corner and peed/pooped. I came back in and he was back in the kennel like nothing happened. He and Niles will need confidence building, trust building, leash and house training. They all have good bones and want love. He can climb a baby gate. He is all about the food but corrects easily if he gets pushy with siblings. Contact Denise of SOS Beagle Rescue email: denisesaugling@gmail.com PA-1937207

Pip Age: 2 yrs Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE CAVIEDES/GEHRIS FAMILY - 8/23/26 This handsome boy came to us from a local TN partner shelter. Initially a bit headstrong around other males (but in his defense we had several females in heat a the time), he has mellowed and does well now in a group setting.

Jade Age: 9-10 months Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE AHRENS FAMILY - 9/5/25 One of a litter of 4 that were in need of rescue. Adopted but returned to the rescue on our request after the adopter’s senior dog developed health issues and Jade wasn’t receiving the continued care and training expected due to many factors. Jade is such a life loving, happy girl. She loves playing with her chew toys by herself or with a friend. She loves meeting new people in person or watching from the couch as people go by. She sleeps all night in her crate and has kept it clean. We follow a house training regimen of breakfast in the crate upon waking followed immediately with a walk. She then goes out every three hours thereafter and she has done fantastic on this routine. She has even started going to the door to signal she needs to go out. She has made major strides on the leash. Walking her in one section of the property has made her accustomed to the scents in that area and lessens the frequency of her going full beagle. When she does pull, a complete stop and standing still gets her attention. She will still need work on the leash but may not require a fenced yard. She also responded better to being walked on a harness! She is a long and athletic little girl so any fence would have to be at least 4 feet. She would be best suited to be the only dog in the home. This girl will be a fantastic addition to any adopter's household.

Rupert Age: 1 yr. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE GROWNEY FAMILY - 8/20/25 He came in from a family in Athens TN area. Their new landlord said no second pup. He was with them for several months but no vetcare. A gorgeous boy, a year, a gray colored tri with amber eyes and a gray nose. He was a bit shell shocked when he came in but definitely coming out of his shell. Spent a few hours with the resident foster gang from Rusty to Frosty to Dolce to Russo - came down tail wagging and happy! All came back in together and he waited to go up into his kennel. Was originally uncomfortable with head pets, kisses and picking up. Just seemed to have never experienced it. He is OK on a leash and volunteers have watched him. He may spook at something new and stop/turn so martingale collar and good leash hold. I have a train across the street near the creek and he had no clue on that loud scary sound. Was around kids ages 8 and up, he was given to them originally as a teenage beagle. On his arrival in his NJ foster, Joan said Rupert is very affectionate and seems to have good house manners.

Riley Age: Born 3/4/25 Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE SALTZMAN FAMILY - 8/24/25 Get ready to fall in love with Riley, a charming and sweet 5-month-old tri-color beagle! This little girl is full of goofy puppy energy and loves to be the center of attention. Riley's favorite things in the world are food, long walks, toys, and most of all, getting lots of cuddles. While she's still working on her potty training skills, her loving nature and playful spirit more than make up for it. She'll do great in any home, she doesn't bark except at dogs that she wants to play with that won't play with her. She can get bitey when playing with toys, but a strong no and she stops, normal puppy stuff. Only 2 potty accidents in the house and that was the 1st night only. If you're looking for a devoted companion to add some joy and laughter to your home, Riley is the perfect match for you!

Daphne Age: 7 months Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE MANNOIA FAMILY - 9/4/25 Daphne is a fun, happy, energetic little girl still a bit unsure of the world. Typically clean in kennel, not too excited about being in a kennel but settles. She has invisible thumbs and can unlatch a kennel with ease so hint, clips. Very food motivated so easy to train, but watch her she is a goldfish. Understands people mean food and gets very excited. Very attached to Beth and learning trust with others. I wouldn't let her roam a large yard without a training leash trailing. 13 lbs. A doll. Still all puppy. Chews blankets and toys in kennel. Loves toys so find no-stuff ones. Needs leash and house work like any puppy. SOS will NOT place littermates together in the same home - google littermate syndrome for reasons why. Plus these girls are shy and will need one-on-one attention to gain confidence. Contact Linda of SOS Beagle Rescue at 856-336-2520 email: sosbeagles@juno.com NJ-521677

A rescue friend of our saw her, pulled her and got her to SOS. She's an outgoing, active little girl, still in the teething stage, so expect some chewing. So far doing well in her crate.

Ryleigh Age: 1 yr. Sex: female spayed Tri-colored ticked female beagle, came in with Eden. Owner surrender because he had too many dogs. Ryleigh is good with other dogs. She has lost weight with a correct food amount. Feeding at 25 lbs. Was 29 at spay. At first when fatter she was a bit hesitant at being picked up. Now she is good but I also tweaked my back, gardening. Adopted but returned when owner's health situation worsened, Ryleigh is a bit single-minded on leash and has the stubbornness of most beagles but is sweet and with patience will be a great companion. We found only one disadvantage to Ryleigh -- she does get carsick so would not be a good traveling dog.

He will bark and wag his tail, follow the lead of friendly dogs, gets a bit bullied by the older 3. Needs leash, kennel, house training along with trust and confidence.

Red Age: 1-1/2 yrs. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE HUGHES FAMILY - 8/9/25 Meet this handsome fellow, a charming beagle mix with a lovely red-brown coat! While he can be a little skittish at first, he tends to warm up to women more quickly. Once he decides you're his person, he transforms into a cuddle bug! He's wonderfully quiet in his crate and absolutely adores going for walks, plus he's a dream on the leash -no pulling and house trained! If you're looking for a sweet, low-energy companion who will blossom with a gentle and patient touch, he might just be the perfect addition to your life. His NJ foster updated us recently: "This charming red-brown beagle mix, Red, is searching for a patient and understanding home. Red needs a little time to warm up to new people, particularly men, but underneath that initial shyness is a deeply loving and incredibly cuddly dog. Once he considers you his person, he'll be your shadow and your most affectionate companion. He's a social butterfly with other dogs, absolutely loves his walks, playtime, and is food-motivated! Red is fully potty trained and does wonderfully with free-roaming in the home, but he's not a fan of the crate. He'd do best in a low-energy household where he can feel completely at ease. If you're prepared to offer a gentle introduction and a lifetime of love, Red will reward you tenfold."
