Please keep in mind the adoption fee does not cover AZBR's costs to rescue and care for a beagle prior to adoption. Therefore, AZBR relies on donations from the public to make up the difference. AZBR is a non-profit organization and all adoption fees and donations go directly to the beagles we continue to rescue.

AZBR makes an effort to care for all beagles brought into the rescue no matter the illness and cost to treat. • Training assistance from a professional trainer (Invaluable) • Peace of mind that AZBR has done our best to evaluate each foster beagle while in our care, and AZBR will be as thorough as possible about each dog's personality and any health issues if known (An exceptional and consistent approach) • Consistent breed education (Always helpful) • AZBR Beagle event notification via AZBR Alumni & Friends Yahoo group! Multiple events throughout the year to bring your beagle to (Priceless) Minimum Adoption Requirements Include: • A loving home environment where animal companions are treated as members of the family • A full fenced, secured yard or approved alternative plan • Access to an air-conditioned home environment • Arizona Beagle Rescue approves applications from apartment residents on a case by case basis. We believe that an apartment home can be a fine home for one of our beagles, BUT not just any beagle. We are very careful about which dog we place in apartment style living. A young beagle can become very vocal and destructive if left in a small area without access to the outdoors. We will only place an older beagle who is calm and has the personality to enjoy the confines of an apartment without a problem. Beagles are very active, even in their older years, so any apartment approved family would be required to walk their beagle on a daily basis for their welfare and well-being. We will require a landlord letter stating that they are allowing you to adopt a beagle from AZBR prior to your home visit being scheduled. If you are an apartment renter and want to adopt an older beagle who we can recommend for your apartment living, then please feel free to submit an application.
