FAQs

With the foster space we currently have, accepting owner surrenders is not typically possible. If you are willing to keep the dog until we can find a foster or forever home, we are more than happy to assist you. We can also offer help with training and behavioral issues as well as temporary assistance with food or supplies. Please contact us if you need advice or help with your Beagle to see what we can do.

Per our adoption contract, any dog adopted from DFW Beagle Buddies will be taken back at any time.

We wish we could save every dog, but we try to start in our hometown and work our way outward. That being said, please contact us to let us know about dogs in need. We can save almost any dog that we have a committed foster and transport for, as long as there aren’t Beagles in need closer to home.

Fosters do need to be in the DFW Metroplex and be able to travel to appointments at one of our vets. Out-Of-Area adoptions are sometimes possible depending on the circumstances. Generally speaking, young or adult dogs are able to be adopted out locally. For senior or special needs pets, we may be able to accommodate an out-of-area adoption if we are able to coordinate a home visit and transportation. Please contact us if you’d like to talk more about an out-of-area adoption.

The adoption fee is $225 for dogs over 6 months. The adoption fee for puppies under 6 months is $350.

We take care of any medical needs and have had Beagle Buddies who required dental extractions, hernia surgery, amputation, endoscopy, hospitalization, labwork, blood transfusion, CT scan, etc.
The adoption fee generally does not cover our vet expenses, so any additional donations are very much appreciated!

Yes! We are a501(c)3 non-profit and all deductions to DFW Beagle Buddies are 100% tax deductible. We are all non-compensated volunteers and all donations go directly toward medical care and supplies for the Beagles. 

For information on Heartworm Disease, please visit the American Heartworm Society. The treatment protocol we use is Ivermectin and 30 days Doxycycline, then 2 injections of Immiticide, then 6 weeks of rest.
