Owner Surrenders

"Help Us to Help You"




General Information

We operate strictly as a referals service for those who need to find a home for a beagle. Remember there are absolutely no foster vacancies in our program. Therefore no place to put a hound in need. Please try to keep it in your own home under your care. If you have a beagle that needs a place to stay please try to find someone who can keep until we can locate an adoptive home.

We must have at least one weeks notice on any owner surrender to give us time to process the request, post online and make contacts. This is just to get any kind of response from interested adoptors. It may take weeks or months longer to find a home.

If there is any way you can continue caring for your beagle until adopted out to a permanent home that would go a long in way in helping us to help you and especailly the beagle.





Instructions

In order to expidite the rescue process for your beagle, there are things which you need to do in this order soon as possible. Please follow the instructions carefully. If anything is incorrect, incomplete or left out it will delay your request for either posting as available for adoption and/or surrendering the beagle over to our rescue program.

  1. Send a description of the beagle along with a picture (if possible) via email with "surrender", "beagle needs home", etc. in the subject line. Please include all relevant info such as the beagle's name, age, sex, spay/neuter, vacination and HW status. Also disposition, training, personality, likes, dislikes, crate/housetrained etc. How is the beagle with cats, dogs, people, kids or other creatures.

    * note: Please indicate any negative behavior issues present. Also let us know of any pre-existing medical conditions prior to surrender. Certain problems or conditions do not necessarily disqualify a beagle from our rescue program. However if you fail to reveal as such there will be Consequenses

    A general city location is also desirable. Otherwise it will be listed as "DFW". Although we will not publish your specific contact info, we do need it for our records as well as have a way to contact you about finding a home for your beagle. Email adress, Phone numbers and fax are the best ways to comunicate. You may also include reasons why you need a home for the beagle and how soon. Please refer to Emergencies below for FAQs on this issue.

  2. IMPORTANT!
    Fax proof of Rabies vacination certificate as well as any relevant veterinary records to:

    (972) 964-8794

    ...You may also have your veterinarian fax the records directly to us.
    Please do not attempt to send via email in form of scanned "PDF" documents.

    * note: If you do not have these records handy please send your veterinarians name/contact information via email

    We do not need all the paperwork, but mostly the ones pertaining to vacinations, spay/neuter, heartworm test and preventative. Again... This is very important. Do not delay! (If you have no veterinary records whatsoever please indicate reason why)

  3. If you are able to care for the beagle until we find a foster/adoptive home, please fill out our online Second Chance contract and fax or mail to the apropriate adress at bottom of the form.

  4. Remember please ...DO NOT request that your beagle be placed in a foster home. We have no vacancies and no place to put a beagle. Nor do we know of any one that has a place to put a beagle you can no longer keep. This is why we do not have vacancies in our foster care progam.
    * If you still feel we must make an exception then please refer to our section
    EFFECTIVE IMEDIATELY

  5. If you still feel it is a dire circumstance beyond your control (and not something thats just "inconvenient") and you are simply unable to continue caring for your beagle until we can locate an adoptive home. Please, please give us an Honest reason why. (Giving a dishonest answer will only impede the rescue process) We may be able to help you in another way or find someone who can. Certain circumstances dictate an imediate response. Please refer to Emergencies below.

  6. If you have done all of the above, please be patient. We will post your beagle online within 72 hours after we recieve all the information necessary. One of our directors will personally contact you about the progress of your beagles rescue and keep you updated on any adoptive candidates or foster vacancies.




IMPORTANT !!!

If you surrender a beagle with issues such as agressive, destructive, impossible to housetrain, or other extreme behaivior problems which prevent successfull adoption through LSBR...

* * * We will disolve the surrender agreement
and return the beagle to you. * * *

The same goes for certain medical conditions undisclosed to us prior to surrender. If you are unable to take back the beagle then it may be euthanised at our discretion.

Please be honest about any behavior problems or medical conditions your beagle has. We may or may not be able to work with it. In the event we cannot take your beagle there may be other options available we can help you with.

~

Remember that *biting* is a serious issue. If you surrender a beagle that deliberatly bites anyone representing LSBR or the newly adopted family this is grounds for liability. The beagle will be eutahansied.

NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!










Emergencies

There are extenuating circumstances which require a beagle get imediate help in finding a home. These we consider true emergencies and will do anything we can to help you and your beagle soon as possible.

  • Sudden Illness, accident or death in the family is an emergency.

  • There is Domestic violence involved and you feel the beagle is in danger is an emergency. * note: many law enforcement agencies can provide for temporary care of your animal through the city shelter or your local Humane Society

  • Incarceration in a correctional facility (jail) or long-term admittance to a mental care institution can be an emergency.

  • Transfer due to work to a locality not permitting care of the beagle might be considered an emergency. (provided you were not given ample notice)

  • Transfer due to Military is an important emergency. We are happy to assist those in the line of duty.

  • Natural disaster due to fire, flood or other "acts of God" is indeed a true emergency. We will do anything we can to assist or find someone who will.

Then there are other circumstances however unfortunate for the beagle which does not warrant our imediate attention. These we do not consider emergencies and cannot do much to help you and your beagle, at least not right away. You will need to refer to the paragraph "Instructions" on how to get help.

* * * Threats to have it euthanized if you cannot find it a home are not going to get your beagle in our rescue program any sooner than the other beagles waiting in line who also deserve to find a home. * * *

  • Having to get rid of your beagle by this weekend because you are "..moving out of state or into a no-pets apartment" is NOT considered an emergency. ...You had time to plan your move and search for your home. There was time to find a home for the beagle. Please try to make some kind of temporary arrangement until we can get help. We can also refer you to other Beagle Rescues where you are moving to. If you are moving please let us know as far in advance as possible.

  • You have been reported to Animal Control because your intact, unvacinated beagle kept outside on a chain is barking all the time. ... You should not have a dog in the first place if this is the way it lives day to day. Please take the beagle to your local shelter where everyone takes pets they cannot keep. That is what the municipal animal shelter is for. If it is "put to sleep" then so much the better. Some things are better of dead.

  • Your unspayed beagle female gave birth to a litter of pups and you need to find a place for all of them is NOT considered an emergency. ...We do not "enable" such a contribution to the problem of pet over population. Also we do not have the resources to take in unaltered and unvacintated beagle puppies.

    We can however help to find a home for the mother once the pups are weaned and the mother has been spayed at your cost on your time. Please contact us for advise on where to have this done at low cost.

  • Financial hardship due to loss of job, family problems, divorce, etc., is NOT considered an emergency. ...There are all kinds of asistance programs in your community for the ongoing care of pets until we can locate a foster vacancy or home. Please contact us for advise.

  • Someone in your family has developed allergies and the beagle has to go now is NOT considered an emergency. ...It is possible to make do until we can arrange something with more time.

  • You are having a baby and can't have the beagle around is NOT considered an emergency. ...Human pregnancies last nine months.

  • Other larger agressive dogs in your household are attacking the beagles and you have to find a safe place is NOT considered an emergency. Remove the agressive dogs from your household so your beagles will have a safe place until a home can be found.

  • The beagle has bitten someone and has to go is NOT considered an emergency. ...depending on the circumstances we might not be able to help at all!

We must have at least one weeks notice on any owner surrender to give us time to process the request, post online and make contacts. This is just to get any kind of response from interested adoptors. It may take weeks or months longer to find a home. The same goes for a foster vacancy to open up.
