Oreo Age: 2.5 yrs. Sex: female spayed Owner surrender to local TN shelter, she spent her first years in a backyard pen after being purchased as a puppy and then forgotten. She's still learning what it means to be someone's dog -things like handling, structure and routine - but she's making steady progress every day. She'll need more leashwork and house time/training but she is smart. She can initially be a bit overwhelmed in busy/loud environments, has a strong "hound nose" - if she gets loose she may go exploring. Oreo isn't a dog who demands attention, she earns it and then keeps your heart. If you appreciate the quiet ones, the ones who dont push but choose you, Oreo is your girl Contact Rayne of SOS Beagle Rescue at 610-965-3647 email: rayne@coldnoselodge.com PA-513963

Millie Age: 2.5 yrs. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE DEL CONSOLE FAMILY - 4/18/26 Millie was surrendered with sister Oreo and is just a tiny bit more interactive than her sister. Both are learning "kennel up" but Millie gets a bit more concerned with kenneling -- no barking, no chewing her kennel but will unstuff a toy or pant a bit initially before settling. She's dog-friendly and would probably prefer a friend, just not her sister as they are a bit over their lifelong incarceration together with little separation. Still learning structure and routine but making steady honest progress every day. She'll need more leash work and house time/training, but she's clean in her kennel. With patience and given time to adjust, she'll be your best friend. Contact Rayne of SOS Beagle Rescue at 610-965-3647 email: rayne@coldnoselodge.com PA-425473

Miss Kitty Age: 2-3 yrs. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE LASSO FAMILY - 3/26/26 Miss Kitty was a neighborhood stray. Her owner was found but didn't want her back so SOS was called. She came into rescue in January a bit scared at first and heartworm positive. She's been treated and went through her 30 day crate hold and recently was able to join the other dogs outside. She is OK on leash but would prefer a fenced yard. She's good with other dogs but wasn't exposed to cats or children while in foster care.

Celeste Age: 3 yrs. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE ALESSANDRIA FAMILY - 4/12/26 Celeste came into rescue and gave birth to 9 pups 10 days later. She’s a typical beagle. Her nose leads the way in the grass. On the road she just wants to walk. We passed some dogs barking behind a fence and she did not bark at them. She is still in need of a bit of baby weight loss, so lots of exercise and a good diet will be beneficial. Good with other dogs.

Pennsylvania - Havertown

Rooster Age: 5 mos Sex: male neutered Dumped in a TN shelter with his siblings, this little survivor has a sunshine personality. He could've shut down but instead he chose happy. This boy greets you like every day is the best day he's ever had. He's dog-friendly, loving, social, and eager to connect. He still needs to learn more leash skills, his housetraining is in progress, and all life experience is brand new. He'll need structure, patience, and someone willing to show him the ropes, but he wants to learn. His NJ foster reports that in the 2 days he's been with her, he hasn't had any accidents and follows her dog to the dog bells on the door. He sleeps through the night and is pretty good on the leash, so sounds like he won't need a lot of training!

Scarlett Age: 3-5 yrs. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE LAURITZEN FAMILY - 3/28/26 Scarlet was a stray at a local shelter, we believe she has house history. Move over Avengers… there’s a new hero in town. Introducing MISS SCARLETT — defender of snacks, conqueror of cat doors, and champion of couch cuddles. Miss Scarlett definitely had a “previous life.” We don’t know the full story, but evidence suggests: • There were other dogs ✔️ • Probably cats ✔️ • And unlimited access to food sources of… questionable origin ✔️ Now that she’s in foster and on a slightly rude diet, her true superpowers are emerging: ⚡ Faster than a speeding bullet — when cat food is involved. 🌀 Incredible agility — her 33-lb “fluffy” frame can somehow wiggle through a cat door like a magician pulling off a disappearing act. 🦘 Can leap ordinary obstacles in a single bound — standard height dog gates? Please. Child’s play. 🏡 Master of stealth missions — will slip outside through the cat door, enjoy freedom, then reappear on the couch looking SHOCKED you noticed she was gone. 🚶‍♀️ Pulls like a Mack truck on leash — but hey, every superhero has a training montage phase. The important stuff: Miss Scarlett is about 2–3 years old, a gorgeous tri-color beagle, and truly one of the easiest, nicest dogs you’ll meet. She’s: ❤️ Great with other dogs ❤️ Good with cats but watch the food and such ❤️ Appears housebroken ❤️ Crate trained ❤️ Loves outside time and couch time equally ❤️ Happy, easy-going, and full of personality She respects a 4-foot outside fence, has mastered the dog door, and would do best in a home that secures the cat food supply like it’s classified government intel. If you’ve ever wanted a goofy, lovable, food-motivated sidekick with main-character energy… Miss Scarlett is ready to save your life (or at least your leftovers).

Bruce Age: 6-7 months Sex: male neutered Bruce is a small guy and 6-7 months. He came in with Wayne from a low-adoption KY shelter. His brother has been adopted and Bruce is hoping to find his home here in NJ. Bruce can get overwhelmed in busy environments but with a slow gentle approach he melts, leans in, snuggles like he's been waiting for that connection. He's quiet in his kennel once settled. Still learning leash skills, housetraining (does well with a regular schedule and routine). He doesn't need chaos or a crowd. He needs his person and a safe fenced yard with direct access. Young energetic kids might be too much stimulation for him at the moment. He's the kind of dog that chooses you, just as much as you choose him.

DJ Age: 1 yr. Sex: male neutered DJ and his sisters came from a low-adoption KY shelter, underweight and unsure. That early hunger shows up a bit around food (he can be protective with other dogs) but he's already improving and responds well to guidance. He's sweet, gentle and increasingly affectionate, a bit shy at first but then very people-focused. Good with other dogs and learning leash skills and house manners. Once settled, he's calm and quiet in his kennel, happy to observe the world and then slowly becoming part of it. He doesn't need perfect - he needs patient. And when he finds that person, that shy little look turns into something really special. Contact Lisa of SOS Beagle Rescue at 732-673-5237 email: lisariccardi219@yahoo.com NJ-74663

Darlene Age: 1 yr. Sex: female spayed Darlene is a gentle little shadow who just needs someone gentle enough to see her. She initially hangs back, watches and slowly gathers the courage to come closer and when she does, she melts right into you. She's shy, soft and incredibly sweet Dog-friendly (and would love a confident kind canine buddy to follow). She needs a calm patient home with a securely fenced yard (direct access makes her feel safe), and someone who understands that trust is built, not rushed. Still learning the leash, will need consistency and routine with house training. Contact Linda of SOS Beagle Rescue at 856-336-2520 email: sosbeagles@juno.com NJ-551173

New Jersey - Mantua

Budweiser Age: 18 mo. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE HOOVER FAMILY - 4/2/26 Budweiser was found as a stray and is very sweet, loving and always hungry. Crate easily. Was adopted immediately after transport from TN but took a dislike to the 17 yr. old daughter -- since he was a stray, we have no history and can only assume she reminded him of someone who had mistreated him. Rather than the family and Bud both be uncomfortable, we brought him back into rescue. He's good with other dogs, doesn't object to the crate, has been fairly calm in the house. He loves it when I call him over to my computer chair, puts his front paws up on my leg and gives me soft kisses.

Wayne Age: 7 months Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE LUERSSEN FAMILY AND NEW SIBLING FRED - 4/10/26 Wayne is a small guy and 6-7 months. He spent his initial 10 days in quarantine near his brother Bruce. He got pretty comfortable with Director Beth and finally feeling better got some outside other dog time. Still a puppy, still a bit unsure why people are now giving him attention but he is sweet, funny and a limp noodle in your lap with scratches and attention. He will just need to experience more lap time, more house time and leash time while gaining the confidence he has inside. More outgoing than brother Bruce at the moment. Strays from a ky shelter. Wayne is OK with other dogs. Cats unknown. Kids should be dog savvy with escape safety and calmness first while he also learns the love of family.

New Jersey - North Arlington

Rosario Age: 2 yrs. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE MILLS FAMILY - 4/3/26 Rosario, or Rosie as she prefers, is a 31 lb mush whose favorite past time is snoring loudly on the couch. She is a bit reserved with men but eventually warms up and is willing to snuggle. She gets along well with other dogs with the exception of getting a little too feisty during 1 play time. She loves to chase her foster brother and has the cutest pounce when playing. She sleeps perfectly in a crate. She can leap a safety gate and is still working on her housetraining. She is afraid of brooms and vacuums and most loud noises. Mostly quiet (other than the snoring) she has only barked once or twice at something out the window. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys being out in the fenced yard off leash.

Rabbit Age: 5 mos. Sex: female spayed Sister to Rooster, she earned her name the honest way - hops first, thinks later. Covered with ticks when found she hasn't let her rough start define her. She's friendly and loves meeting new people, full of puppy joy, dog-friendly. Still learning the world (some things are still a little spooky, but she's brave about it). She's brand new to things like leashes and house manners because no one ever taught her, but she's willing to learn and food-motivated. She just needs you to give her a calm start, patience and structure, a little training and a lot of love Contact Michele of SOS Beagle Rescue at 201-407-2908 email: mweiss1998@aol.com NJ-183463

New Jersey - Atco

Dodger Age: 2 yrs. Sex: male neutered ADOPTED BY THE MOORE FAMILY - 4/19/26 Apologies to the others who expressed interest, but with kennel cough, Dodger could only go to a home with no other dogs until it had cleared for 7 days. A home without another dog became available. Rodger and Dodger both showed up at a small rural shelter to be pulled to a slightly larger humane society for more exposure. After a couple weeks and little beagle attention we were asked to help. These two are adoptable. 20-23 lbs they show the demeanor of possibly once being a house dog. They are clean in their crates, know a leash but not a lot of training. They show pure joy when out running in the yard and complete excitement when someone shows them attention. They came in with kennel cough so haven’t had a lot of dog experience yet but I believe they would do well with another friendly dog. Haven’t tried digging or fence climbing which is a plus in a beagle. They are quiet in their kennels unless they hear you about then a bit of barking. We believe they are siblings, not bonded but Rodger is more attached to Dodger than vice versa. But easily satisfied with loving attention. Our goal is to place each of them in a home with another dog for company, as littermates sometimes get jealous of each other after a while (google littermate syndrome).

New Jersey - Cranford

Jasmine Age: 1-1/2 yrs. Sex: female spayed JASMINE is curious, aware and bit bold. She will let you know how she feels when meeting new dogs but settles with structure and has done well in a busy foster setting. She knows a leash but needs work, will benefit from consistent house training. She needs structure and routine. A safe secure fenced yard is a plus, but a requirement for a home with young kids who might not realize she’s at the door.

New Jersey - Hasbrouck Heights

Becky Age: 1 yr. Sex: female spayed ADOPTED BY THE APONTE FAMILY - 4/13/26 Becky is around a year, 15 lbs and a curious gal. She and her siblings were also strays at a small KY shelter when we were asked to take. The most outgoing in the group but still uncertain the world is a good thing? Loves outside time, does a stop, slowly come forward, hesitate a bit before ready for attention. She likes a slow low approach. Active, young, svelte and a beauty. She shows more confidence than her siblings but will shine in a home dedicated to giving her the best life off the streets and safe. Clean in kennel with schedule, safe fenced yard a plus, more leash training and housetraining needed. Ok with other dogs. Cats unknown. Kids should be dog savvy with escape safety and calmness first while she learns the love of family.
