Beagles & Hounds Queensland does not operate on a first come first serve type basis. We get many beagles come in from all walks of life. By answering these questions honestly and truthfully, it allows us to find a home that is best suited for the beagle. This greatly decreases the stress on the beagle. Also sometimes a beagle may show aggression or have come from an abusive home, it may need to go to a home without any other pets, or it may need another dog to show it around. There is no favouritism, and each case is judged on a dog by dog basis.

If you are serious about adopting a beagle, please join our group on Facebook, a place where we all share stories (good, bad, funny) it will give you a look into the life of owning a beagle. We also hold events and social activities which you are welcome to attend. We often have our rescue animals out at these days so it is a good opportunity to talk to another beagle owner.

If you have any concerns or questions that arise from this questionnaire please get in touch with us so we can answer them as soon as possible for you.
