Barnaby & Penelope

UPDATED 5/02/2025 Hi! We're two very sweet bonded beagles looking for a new home! Nittany Beagle Rescue thinks we were abandoned on a country road. This kind woman took us in & tried to find our person, but no one said they were missing us! Our best guess is that our person passed away or went into a nursing home & no one wanted us, so they dropped us off. Penelope was in pretty bad shape when we were found - she could barely walk. But we're doing better now - although we'll be doing A LOT better when someone decides to make us part of their family! Nittany Beagle Rescue thinks we're probably siblings, and 7-10 years old. We're housetrained, & we go out about 3-4 times/day. We're easygoing, happy dogs! We're also pretty active! Penelope is spayed & Barnaby is neutered. Barnaby looks out for Penelope - she is his girl! :) Please think about giving these two sweet dogs a forever home!

Benji

UPDATED 4/3/2025 Hi! My name is Benji! I'm a super friendly 7-year old male beagle. I'm a very loving guy! I love to hang out on the sofa with my people! I also love to go for long walks! I was crated a lot in my former home, & so I don't like the crate now. If I have to be confined, then it's better to baby gate me in the kitchen. I've lived with young children & I love to play with them! However, I'm pretty energetic & I can be too much for a young child. When I came into Nittany Beagle Rescue, I drank excessively. But Nittany Beagle Rescue took me to the vet, & it looks like I might have diabetes insipidus - that's the one where I'm thirsty all the time & I drink lots of water; it's probably hormonal. It's treated by taking a pill (or eye drops) called desmopressin. I've been on the pills for a couple of months & they really help! I drink more than a typical beagle, but not as much as I used to. I do need access to water at all times though. Desmopressin can be expensive, but if you use Good Rx or go to a pharmacy with a good discount program, the cost is very reasonable. (Nittany Beagle Rescue filled my prescription at the Weis Pharmacy & it is about $50 a month.) It's possible I might need fewer pills even! I'm housetrained, but I do need to go outside several times a day. Most nights I need to go outside in the middle of the night - sometimes multiple times. Because of that, I really need a home with a fenced in yard & a doggie door. I'm already neutered & up-to-date on vaccines. I'm on the chubby side & could use a diet. Please think about making me part of your family! You will be so happy you did! I'm so anxious to find my forever home!

Benny

Hi! My name is Benny & I'm an adorable 4 month old male beagle mix. I'm a bold & outgoing fellow! I was born on 2/2/2025, so I'll be 5 months old on July 2! I'm mainly brown & black colored! My mom is a beagle - that's Honey, who is also available for adoption, & my dad is unknown breed. But I'm all hound! I'm in a foster home with other dogs & cats, & I'm doing really well! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be neutered before I'm adopted. I weighed about 39 lbs. on 6/18/2025. Kennel License #4068

 

Buford & Smokey

UPDATED 6/2/2025 Hi! We're Buford & Smokey! We're 12-year old beagle mix brothers. We're very bonded & we need a new home together because our person became ill & was no longer able to care for us. We're gentle & affectionate boys! We love to cuddle & be touched! We're so loving, & we're wonderful companions to each other & our person! We're happy boys & quite sociable & friendly! We like to play tug-of-war, & we really enjoy being outside during the day, playing & hanging out in a fenced in back yard. We're also easygoing. We're used to hanging out on the couch with our person & sleeping in bed with them at night. We've been around teenagers & do fine with them. We're used to going outside 5 times a day. We'll let you know we need to go outside by making small barks and/or excitement around the door. We're afraid of lightning & thunderstorms. We weigh about 70 lbs., but we are on a diet! We eat turkey & venison (beef & chicken dog food don't really agree with us). Both Buford & Smokey take apoquel for allergies. It's possible they don't need the apoquel all year. A home without other dogs would be best since Buford can be a little bossy with other dogs at first. But he will adjust. Please think about making Buford & Smokey part of your family! They need a home & we are such good boys!

Buzz

Hi! My name is Buzz & I'm an adorable 4 month old male beagle mix. I was born on 2/2/2025, so I'll be 5 months old on July 2! I'm mainly brown & black colored! My mom is a beagle - that's Honey, who is also available for adoption, & my dad is unknown breed. But I'm all hound! I have found my voice & I like to alert my person if anything is going on! I need work on confidence building, & so I need a person with good dog skills who can do that. I'm in a foster home with other dogs & cats, & I'm doing really well! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be neutered before I'm adopted. I weighed about 37 lbs. on 6/18/2025. Click on my page to see a different photo of me. Kennel License #4068

Hi! My name is Daisy May & I'm an adorable 4 month old female beagle mix. I was born on 2/2/2025, so I'll be 5 months old on July 2! I'm a tricolor girl! My mom is a beagle - that's Honey, who is also available for adoption, & my dad is unknown breed. But I'm all hound! I'm on the quiet & shy side, & I can be skittish. So I need a person with good dog skills who can build my confidence. I'm in a foster home with other dogs & cats, & I'm doing really well! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be spayed before I'm adopted. I weighed about 27 lbs. on 6/18/2025. Click on my page to see a different photo of me! Kennel License #4068

 

Dax

UPDATED 6/27/2025 Hi! My name is Dax! I'm a 1-year old male tricolor beagle! I'm an adorable fellow! I'm super friendly & sociable! I'm a young guy, so I'm very energetic - as most young beagles are! Check out the video of me on my PetFinder page - that's me after a very very long walk (link: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/dax-77005060/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/ ). I like to play fetch & ball! I already learned to release the toy when I bring it back! I like to chew - of course! I'm still a puppy! So I need appropriate things to chew on - like nylabones & tough squeaky toys! I'm housetrained for the most part. Sometimes I will go to the door, but for the most part, I'm used to being let out every few hours. I'm also crate trained. I'm a real cuddler! I like to hang out on the furniture with my person! At night, I like to sleep in bed with my person! I sleep under the covers pressed up against them! I haven't been raised with children, but I've been exposed to children 7 years of age & older. I'm very playful with other dogs! I've lived with a cat & I wanted to play with him! I ride very well in a car! I will get into the garbage if it's not put away. I can't wait for my forever home to find me! Message to my forever home: You will be so happy when you do! I'm already neutered & up-to-date on vaccines. Please think about making me part of your family - forever! Kennel License #4068

 

Dena Lee

Hi! My name is Dena Lee & I'm an adorable 4 month old female beagle mix. I was born on 2/2/2025, so I'll be 5 months old on July 2! I'm mainly brown & black colored! My mom is a beagle - that's Honey, who is also available for adoption, & my dad is unknown breed. But I'm all hound! I'm a happy girl! I'm also very lovey & I like to stay close to my people (although I certainly can not be off-leash outside of a fenced area!). I'm in a foster home with other dogs & cats, & I'm doing really well! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be spayed before I'm adopted. I weighed about 27 lbs. on 6/18/2025. Click on my page to see a different photo of me! Kennel License #4068

 

Dixie

UPDATED 6/30/2025 Hi! My name is Dixie! I'm a 6-year old female bloodhound! I'm a very loving & easygoing girl! I'm also very mannerly! I'm also very playful! I like fetch & ball. When I do something good, I get so excited & playful! For instance, I don't really like the vet to examine my ears, but once they are all done, I'm a happy girl! I jump & I play! But what I love the most are treats & the water! I used to have a splash pad & I loved it! I also love little swimming pools, ponds, rivers & going for boat rides! Really anything that has to do with water! And treats! Don't forget, I LOVE treats! Check out my video on my PetFinder page of me having fun with treats! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/dixie-77004025/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/ Also, I love to go for car rides! I just hang out in the back seat & enjoy the trip! I am housetrained. I will whine if I need to go outside. I'm used to being crated (in a very large crate) when my people leave the house & at night. But during the day, I want to hang out in the couch or outside! I would love a fenced in yard so I can hang out outside! I've lived with other dogs, & I do well with them. I need a new home because one of the other dogs in the house picked on me, & I finally got fed up. So now we don't get along. I can be protective of my food & bones with other dogs. I've never lived with cats or other animals. I haven't been raised with children, but I've been around children aged 6-12 years. Because I wasn't raised with children, I will be placed in a home with no children or older children who know how to properly treat a dog. I am already spayed & up-to-date on vaccines. Please think about making me part of your family! I'm so anxious to find my forever home! Kennel License #4068

 

Honey

UPDATED 7/7/2025 IN A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOME Hi! My name is Honey! I'm a very sweet female tricolor beagle. I'm young - I'm only about 2 years old! I love to be petted! I'm housetrained, although I might have a few accidents at first until my people learn my signs. I will run out of the door, & so you need a secure system to make sure I don't do that! I can be a little timid in new situations. But even when I'm timid & afraid, I'm so very sweet. I've been around other dogs & I'm good with them! I had pups about 4.5 months ago & some of them are available for adoption through Nittany Beagle Rescue. I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be spayed before I'm adopted. Please think about giving me a loving forever home! Check out my PetFinder Page to see more photos of me! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/honey-76930928/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/ Kennel License #4068 ADOPTION PENDING.

 

Jimmy Dean

Hi! My name is Jimmy Dean, & I'm a soon-to-be 3-year old male tricolor beagle. Actually, my name is Jack, but I don't really know it, & Nittany Beagle Rescue thought I would like the name Jimmy Dean! My birthdate is 7/13/2022. I've always lived outside as a hunting dog - but I don't really want to hunt. I just want to be with people! So my owner decided that it would be better for me if Nittany Beagle Rescue found me a home where I can live inside & be with my people! I'm very sociable! I've been around other dogs, & I'm good with them! I'll need work on housetraining & house manners. I'm working on crate training - so that's a great 1st step! I'm very smart & I want to please my people, so I should learn quickly! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be neutered before I'm adopted! Please think about making me part of your family! I just want to be with people & love them! Better photos of me are coming soon! You can see more photos of me on my PetFinder page: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/jimmy-dean-77188481/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/ Kennel License #4068

 

Kona

UPDATED 6/30/2025 Hi! My name is Kona & I'm an adorable 5-year old female beagle mix! I weigh about 30 lbs. I love to sit on the sofa with my people & to sleep in bed with them at night! I love to sleep under the blanket! I'm a playful girl! I love to play ball, tug-of-war & fetch! I'm housetrained - I will sit by the door when I need to go outside. I've lived with older children & should be fine with children who are 7 or 8 or older (& who know how to treat a dog properly). I love cats & will sleep next to them if they'll let me! I've lived with a dog, & I was very good with her. My prior owners said that I get excited around dogs I don't know, & need to be slowly introduced. However, during the Nittany Beagle Rescue showing, I was very friendly with all the dogs I met. I wanted to lick their ears. :) I enjoy car rides, although I can be rambunctious. I have some separation anxiety. I need a new home because my people worked 8 hour shifts & I can be destructive if left alone that long. When I'm alone that long, I'll eat things I shouldn't & tear things apart. However, I've always been fine without my people if they are away for shorter periods of time, like about 3 hours. I am not crate trained & don't do well in the crate for long periods of time. The best way to get me to listen/obey is by using praise & treats. I'm already up-to-date on vaccines. I will be spayed before I'm adopted. Please think about giving me a forever home! I can't wait to be part of a family!

Molly

Hi! My name is Molly! I'm an affectionate & loving female tricolor beagle. I'm only 4 years old & so I have lots of energy! I've always lived outside - but I'm so ready to be part of family & live with my people! I love to cuddle! I would love to be able to sit on my person's lap or rest my head on your leg! I like to sit beside my people also - I love people! I'll need work on housetraining - but I'm very smart & I learn quickly! I ride great in a car! I've been around children ages 5-12 & I'm very good with them! I've also been around other dogs & I'm good with them! Because I always lived outside, a lot of things are new to me & I can be skittish. So I need a person who can work with me on that. I weigh about 35 lbs. I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be spayed before I'm adopted. Please think about giving me a home! I just want to be loved & to give love back!

Peanut

UPDATED 7/13/2025 Hi! My name is Peanut - but you can call me Mr. Personality because I've got a great personality! :) I'm a male soon-to-be 3-year old lemon beagle. (My birth date is 8/15/2022). I'm a wonderful fellow! I'm all beagle! I'm an active & sociable boy! I'm very friendly & loving! I will howl when there's something to howl at! LOL I love to sniff! I'm also playful! Tug-of-war is my favorite! I'm a very smart fellow! I know sit & shake! I've lived with children who are 6 & 8 years old now, & I'm very good with them. I've lived with another dog & a cat & I'm also very good with them! I'm housetrained & crate trained. I'll go to the door & whine if I need to go outside. I sleep in my crate at night (I like to get a treat after you close the crate door). When no one is home, I used to having free range of the house, & I'm very good on my own in the house! I'm used to being alone about 8 hours during the day when my people were at work. I'm an escape artist, though! I will dig under a fence really fast! And I'll also run out the door! I'm about 40 lbs. - but don't let that fool you. I'm FAST! I need someone who will walk me lots. If I see a rabbit, I'll grab on my leash & try to chew it. So I need a super strong leash. I will also flop over & roll, & get the leash unhooked - so I need something extra when being walked to make sure I don't escape. I probably need a home where there is a barrier between me and the door so that I can't dash out. A fenced in yard would be nice, as long as it's very secure. Currently I wear an airtag - just in case I get loose. Alternatively, a GPS collar would also be a good idea. I really need a home! Are you the right person for me?! If so, please think about making me part of your family?

Reese

UPDATED 6/29/2025 Hi! My name is Reese! I'm a 7-year old male beagle mix. I'm very loving & affectionate! I'm a happy fellow & I love to play fetch, tug of war & ball! I love to go for walks! I can match the energy level of my person - if they want to be active, I will be active with them. But if they want to to take it easy - so will I! Check out my video of me having fun outside on my PetFinder page: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/reese-76795004/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/ I'm a very obedient dog! I like to play with other dogs, especially ones that are my size or bigger than me. I'm not sure I'm too keen on dogs smaller than me. I adore cats! I would love to have a cat sister or brother in my new forever home! I'm fine with teenagers but small children make me nervous. I'm housetrained. I will go to the door or cry when I need to go outside. I'm crate trained & I like my crate! At night, I'll sleep on a bed, or the furniture, or in my crate. I really like car rides! Sometimes I get possessive over some of my toys & I will growl. I'm already neutered & up-to-date on vaccines! Now I just need a forever home! Are you it?? I hope my person comes soon!

Roscoe

Hi! My name is Roscoe - but you can call me Roe Roe! I'm a male tricolor beagle with beautiful ticking! I'm a confident & happy fellow! I'm also very loving. I love chew toys & to play chase! I also love nylabones! (I will also chew on children's toys if they are laying around). I'm housetrained - I get excited when I need to go outside or I'll go to the door. When I'm left alone, I have free range - I'm very well behaved! At night, I like to sleep on the couch. I need a fenced yard because I just love to hang out outside! But the fence has to be secure or else I might find a way to get out. I will also dig at the fence. When I come in the house, I'm tired & I really want to be left alone. I've lived with toddlers & I do very well with them. However, I will growl a little if I'm bothered when resting. You just say 'no' & I'll go elsewhere. Any children in the home need to understand I need my space. Also, I will dash out the door, & so my new family needs to make sure I can't do that. I ride well in the car. I've lived with other dogs, & I do very well with them! I haven't been around cats. I'm already neutered and up-to-date on vaccines! Now I'm waiting for my forever home to find me! Are you it! Please think about making me part of your family!

Ruby Sue

UPDATED 5/27/2025 Hi! My name is Ruby Sue! I'm a super sweet female tricolor beagle girl! I used to live in a pen as a hunting dog - but my person was no longer able to care for me & wanted a better life for me! Now I'm in a temporary foster home now & I'm doing fantastic! I'm housetrained! Sometimes I have a little accident over night - but I'll use a pee pad. I'm also crate trained. I'm about 11 years old & I'm in fantastic shape! I'm energetic & I love to go for walks! I'm no slouch! I also love to be petted & to press up against my person! I would love a home where I was petted & petted & petted. I'm great with other dogs! I love to sleep next to older, calmer ones! I'm very respectful of dogs that don't want me around - I just leave them alone. I'm spayed & I had a big dental, & so I'm ready to go to my forever home! I am very hard of hearing, so you'll have to be patient with me since I probably won't come if you call. Instead just call me with hand signals! Please think about giving me a forever home! I'm so ready to find my forever home! I only weigh about 30 lbs. My adoption fee has already been paid by a generous donor!

Ziggy

UPDATED 7/13/2025 Hi! My name is Ziggy & I'm a very sweet male tricolor beagle. I'm about 12-18 months old. I'm a little guy! I weigh about 17 lbs. But I'm thin & could gain a couple of lbs. I'm a very loving & affectionate fellow! I love to be with people & cuddle with them on the couch! I'm really love to play with my stuffed toys! I'm very gentle with them! I'm such a gentle & polite little fellow! I've been around other dogs & cats, & I'm very good with them. I've been around older children & I'm great with them. When I go on walks, I'm very curious & observant! I can sniff & sniff & sniff & totally forget to go potty! I would love a securely fenced in yard! However, I'm a little guy, & so any gaps near the gates or under the fence would need to be secured. I was rescued from a bad situation by very kind people. But they weren't able to keep me. They don't think I lived in the house in my prior home, so I'm working on housetraining, & I've made progress. But I will still need work when I go to my forever home. When I start circling, I really really need to go outside. I'm crate trained. I'm learning how to use stairs - I'm pretty good at going down the stairs, but still working on learning to go up stairs. I love to go for car rides & I'm very calm in the car! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & neutered! So I'm ready to be adopted! I'm so anxious to find my forever home! Are you the right home for me? If so, please think about making me part of your family!
