Breena
Breena is an active, young beagle mix, about 2 years old. She has been staying at various houses and kennels for the past year, and desperately needs a home where she can relax and have some stability.
Due to her activity level, she might not be best with young children, but would do well with another dog. She loves to run, and is not tired after 2 hours at the dog park. She recently completed a basic obedience course and is ready to put what she has learned into practice. She is a very smart dog, and a willing learner, she just needs someone with the patience to work with her.
Why train your dog? Most dogs available through rescue groups have not had the easiest life. Many have been ignored, abused, or just not treated kindly. They need a lot of love, but they also need training. Beagles are great pack animals, and as such are more comfortable in an environment where there are rules, and leaders. Obedience training can help establish you as the leader (instead of the dog), which can reduce some unwanted behaviors (such as toy guarding and aggression), and just make life easier by having a well-behaved dog. AND, the obedience classes also provide the attending humans with a much better understanding of their new family member, and how they need to relate to the situation. People training is an absolute good part of obedience training.
The Mt. Nittany Dog Training Club in State College offers various classes in obedience, including Rescue 101 which is geared towards adopted dogs and any specific behavior issues that need to be addressed. This class is scheduled by request. Beginners classes and other, more advanced classes are offered periodically. Click here to check out their schedule. For more information or about any specific questions and problems you would like to address, email MNDTC Trainer .
Beagle911 Refuge and Rescue is a place where old,
sick, injured or `out of time' beagles might find a safe refuge, and with a bit
of wonderful luck, a new forever home. Generally, we do not have puppies. What
you can expect is a beagle who has been mistreated, neglected, injured, or with
a health issue that is now under control and now is ready to find a family. Most
are spayed or neutered, and all have their shots up to date.
About Beagles:
The Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively, and curious dog that just loves everyone. A happy little
tail-wagger. Social, brave, and intelligent. Calm and loving. They do have minds of their own and are determined. They require consistent, gentle training or you can break their spirit.
Beagles have a distinctive bark/howl that is considered harmonious. If not left alone outdoors as the hunters did, they do not bark any more than any dog does.
Energetic and possessing great stamina, the Beagle needs plenty of exercise but a reasonably sized fenced yard with a daily brisk walk should do. They will follow their nose so cannot be trusted off leash in an unsafe area.
Being an average shedder an occasional brushing will suffice. Give proper attention to the ears because they are prone to infections. Keep their nails trimmed. Do not let them become overweight. The average lifespan is 15-18 years.
Unfortunately, due to their small, uniform size and gentle disposition, Beagles are often used for medical experimentation.
To get there, you need
only take RT 220, the State College bypass, to the Nittany Mall (Shiloh
Road) exit and turn left at Sheetz onto Benner Pike. TSC is 1/4 mile on
the right. We can bring any specific animal by appointment. Bring
your family, bring any dogs you already own, and meet a beagle buddy. Even if you only come to visit with us, we'd love to meet you. Click here to see all of our events!

Who We Are
We Want to Help ALL Adoptable Companion Animals At
Risk
Beagle911 is a rescue and
refuge that focuses on beagles, but we are also accept into our care umbrella
animals that need to be relocated for reasons beyond the owner's or sponsor's
control. The animals do not have to be beagles, let alone dogs, but for perhaps
one of many reasons the owners/sponsors do not or cannot surrender them to any
of the local shelters.
Adopting a Friend
Why the Adoption Application Process is
Necessary
It is important to make
you aware that there are unscrupulous people who operate in rings to collect
cats, dogs and other animals for abusive situations. The danger is that these
people appear to be animal lovers and could easily fool you. They sometimes
bring children to portray a "perfect family" image. Therefore, it is important
to check all references, including a veterinarian reference, and do a home check
BEFORE releasing an animal into a stranger's care. Follow-up checks are also
necessary.
Come Visit With Us! Meet our lovable, adoptable pets in person.
We show some of our dogs and cats EVERY SUNDAY 11:30AM to
3PM (weather permitting during the winter months) at the Tractor Supply Company in State College, PA.

We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so
good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you
would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please
