 Bam Bam is coming back into the rescue and is in need of a foster or adopter. Bam Bam is 5 years old. He developed Idiopathic Epilepsy about a year and a half ago. He is currently on medication three times a day and will need to remain on medication in order to control the seizures. 

Bam Bam lives with another beagle and two young children in his current home. He gets along well with his doggie sister and likes to play. He has not been socialized outside the home due to COVID and has developed some leash aggression. He barks at other dogs and pulls on the leash. He will need some work to curb this new behavior. He does best with dogs his size or larger. He is a typical vocal beagle and uses his voice to engage in play and to alert his family to anything outside or loud noises. He will not do well in a home with a smaller dog, cats or other critters. Bam Bam is friendly and engaging. He is playful and really enjoys playing fetch. He loves food although he does not like it taken from him. Bam Bam would prefer a home without children as sometimes he doesn't feel up to the activity level.

 Bagel is an adorable, young beagle from upstate New York.  He is about 2 years old, about 23 lbs. He's a little wary of people at first, but is already getting more comfortable with his fosters after just one day. He loves attention and getting petted. Bagel ABSOLUTELY LOVES other dogs and is much more confident with another dog around. He likes to follow them around and is more than willing to play whenever the opportunity arises. 

Bagel has a lot of energy and has been having a blast racing around the fenced-in yard at his foster home. He’s bouncy and active. Bagel is learning that everything is not a chew toy and is working hard on house training. Another dog and a fenced yard are a must for him. Bagel is being fostered west of Boston and is available for visits.

Parsley has arrived in New England and is doing great at his foster home! He is learning how to live in a home and be loved. Parsley is still very shy, but he’s slowly coming out of his shell.  He is walking well on a leash and has a great appetite! Parsley is very comfortable around other dogs, although still a little wary of his foster parents, but is learning to trust. House training is progressing well. Parsley is estimated to be 3-4 years old and weighs about 25 lbs. Older children will be fine, but no children under 10. Parsley is being fostered northwest of Boston and is available for visits. 

 Meet Chase and Charlie!

Chase (standing) and Charlie (sitting) are 6 month old beagle puppies from North Carolina. They are wildly, fun puppies. Both are sweet, playful and curious. They are outgoing and not at all shy; typical beagles who LOVE food!

Chase and Charlie will arrive in New England at the beginning of December and are looking for families to go home to. Chase and Charlie are being adopted separately.

Rosebud is a sweet girl who is timid at first, but warms up quickly.   She is very, very snuggly and plays well with the other three beagles in her foster home.  She also loves to snuggle up with humans.  Rosebud has a beagle howl, but only uses it sparingly.  She’s very treat-motivated which will help with potty training. She has consistently used potty pads inside and has started going outside as well. She’s good on a leash and listens fairly well. Rosebud seems to prefer being around other dogs and takes their lead. She will require some training, but is an amazing little lady. Rosebud is about 3-4 years old and weighs 26 lbs. She is looking for a home  with other dogs and no young children. Rosebud is being fostered north of Boston and is available for visits. 

 Dahlia came to us from a Louisiana shelter. She was terrified of humans, but has come a long way since coming into the rescue and has made even more progress since arriving at her foster home in New Hampshire. She comes up to her foster mom for treats now and enjoys getting attention and affection. She is about a year old and weighs 42 lbs. Dahlia is a collector of toys. She doesn't destroy them. She just likes to be surrounded by them! She is still learning that food will consistently be provided so she can be greedy with food. She is not aggressive at all, but will eat everyone's food so she is being fed separately for now. 

Dahlia is a pretty quiet hound, but is very vocal when playing which she LOVES to do! She is very timid around men and is well on her way to being house trained. Dahlia will be a wonderful addition to a home once she becomes comfortable there. Dahlia's perfect home will have a securely fenced yard, another active dog to play with, a woman as the main caregiver, no young children and a patient adopter who will allow her the time and space to blossom into the dog we know she wants to be! Dahlia is available for visits.

Puppies !!!!!!  Hansel and Gretel and two black and tan coonhound puppies - we will be placing separately.  They were born in mid-September and are about two months old. Both are doing well with the other dogs and the office cat where they are boarding.  Hansel is a confident adventurer who likes to explore. He led everyone in a chase game around the office during their photo shoot. Hansel will be a bigger hound when mature - probably around 70 lbs.  Gretel is more tentative and loves to be held. She's a bit smaller. Ready for transport to Massachusetts Dec 18th.

Tilly is a beautiful young coonhound from Mississippi   She's 2 years old, about 45 lbs and has lived as a pet.    Her family loved her very much and was heartbroken to have to rehome her. Those long legs sent her sailing over their too-short fence several times and they decided she'd be happier in another home with secure containment and more room to run.  Tilly is very loving and sweet; likes to sit in laps, and loves comfy furniture and beds with blankets. She's housebroken, likes squeaky toys, lots of time outside to exercise, and frequent activity. She enjoys play with other dogs - does well with both bigger and smaller dogs. She's lived in a family with children. Tilly will be arriving in Massachusetts in mid-December and would love to be home for the holidays. 

Bo is a handsome treeing walker coonhound from Virginia.  He's a big goof and thinks he's a lap dog.  He gets along well with other dogs and is always up for adventure and making new friends. He's shown no interest in the cats that roam around his boarding place so might be a good candidate for a home with cats.   Bo is about 5 yrs old and weighs about 65 lbs.  He'll be arriving in Massachusetts in December.

 Ethel was found as a stray with her brother in rural Virginia and brought to New England in September. She is a tri-color coonhound who weighs about 30 lbs at 8 months old. Ethel was initially shy when she arrived at boarding, but quickly blossomed as she got to know her caretakers and the other dogs. She is easily food motivated, and loves to play play play! She has learned to be affectionate with her caretakers, and has warmed up to the volunteers with whom she regularly interacts (when they bring tasty treats of course!). Ethel was not socialized as a puppy, so even though she has become comfortable with her temporary home, she will still require patience as she settles into her furever home and learns to trust her new humans. It will be best for Ethel's development that she and her brother are separated, however her adoptive home must have another confident dog to help her along. Ethel requires a home without young children in a quiet suburban or rural environment. 

This handsome red and blue ticked hound came to us from a crowded shelter in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Jasper is a typical friendly coonhound. He loves attention and petting and will just melt into you. He likes to meet new people and is getting along well with the dogs at his foster home.  He has probably not lived as a house dog before and is good at taking cues from the resident dogs.  His housebreaking is coming along and he's learning some manners.  Gentle most of the time, but sometimes he's overcome with excitement and wants to greet people by standing up and hugging !  He's goofy and sweet but might overwhelm small children.    Jasper is a healthy 6 year old American English Coonhound, weighing about 70 lbs.  His ideal home would have other dogs in residence . Jasper has arrived in Massachusetts and is ready for visits!

 Dottie is a very sweet, friendly redtick coonhound from Kentucky.  She is excited to be around everyone and always up for an adventure.  She loves meeting new people and has to give everyone kisses!  Dottie is a bit underweight and very food motivated.  She is learning to walk nicely on leash - she is not a puller but wants to be everywhere, due to her keen sense of smell. She rides very well in the car, curling up to nap while you drive.  Dottie loves other dogs; she is playful with them, although she is not a barker.  Dottie is almost housebroken and learning the routine in her foster home. She loves her walks a few times a day but settles down easily for a nap in the office during her foster's work hours.  Dottie has arrived and is ready for visits.  She's about 5 years old and will have an ideal weight of about 55 lbs.  

Sadie has a spunky, fun-loving personality.  She is very playful and energetic. She's doing well in her foster home with teenage boys, and also gets along well with the resident coonhound. She’s sweet and affectionate and very loving toawrds everyone in her foster family.   Sadie is a young coonhound and needs a little work on her house manners.  She can counter surf but is learning that is not allowed.  She loves to be outside and loves to go for walks; and is learning housebreaking quickly.   She happily sleeps on the couch when we go up to bed, no crying or separation anxiety.   Sadie is fostering in southeastern Massachusetts and is ready for visits.
