Beagle Rescue New Zealand

Beagle Rescue New Zealand I love Beagles and will do my best help out Beagles in need of re homing. I can provide foster care where needed.

I have 12 years experience as an owner of multiple Beagles and understand them inside out.

Here is an update about Bonnie:

There was a LOT of interest in her and I am really sorry so many people missed out. There were some exceptional homes to choose from!

I received this message from her new owner:

Good Morning Susie
Wanted to give you an update on our gorgeous girl Bonnie. We're absolutely all in love with this beautiful girl.
She's been fantastic and will now sit, wait, stay, walks on a lead & is fabulous in her crate.
She's the most gorgeous doggo ever and the cuddliest, smoochiest girl. Bonnie Loves to be cuddled and sitting on you. She eats everything and has had a few sneaks in the pantry. She can open doors, retrieves hidden objects & loves to bury toys.
Thanks to her beautiful previous Mum who raised a gorgeous darling. We are 100% in love with the cheekiest, beautiful Bonnie.
Thanks so much for choosing our family xx

And then to top off this successful rehome I received the following message from Bonnie’s previous owner:

Hi Susie
I have to express my appreciation for finding Bonnie the perfect family to go to. They are in love with her and she is really being looked after well. It is just the environment and caring Bonnie needed. They keep me updated and send photos. Thank you so much - it was really really really hard to let her go - a lot of tears even though I knew it was the right thing for Bonnie. I can’t thank you enough and I’m so glad you do the beagle re-homing.

UPDATE FROM LAIKA'S NEW OWNER:

Just a quick email to let you know how Laika is doing.

For the first week we walked to work and home (a round 7.2km trip) so she could get to know her location and my work colleagues.

At first everything was very scary and there were parts she just put the brakes on and wouldn’t budge…so I would pick her up and carry her. She definitely doesn’t like black utes with Thule roof storage or big storage containers on the back, nor does she like campervans especially if people have got the doors open. And if people are coming up behind us she has to wait for them to go past before she’ll proceed. She also does not like big buildings or flags that say shops are open. However, on Friday we walked all the way to work and I didn’t have to carry her at any stage…so that is great progress.

She is getting used to my (now her) work colleagues, but the couriers that come and go and people passing outside the windows get a huge growly bark up. She never attacks anyone but she is very scared about the human traffic and new people. But I imagine with the continuing reassurance that will come right.

We have been to the groomer and had her toenails cut and a**l glands emptied. The Groomer thinks she is lovely!

Laika loves her river and beach walks where she does lots of off-lead zoomies- she can run quite fast for an 8 year old. There are some dogs she doesn’t like- usually bigger ones and often border collies(my previous beagle didn’t like them either!) and she’ll chase them barking. She’s definitely fearless and top dog when it comes to dogs she’s not fond of!

She’s not as food obsessed as my previous beagle and when she doesn’t want to do something there is no bribing her with treats!

She loves her bed at home and work and is very happy going for dinner to my sister’s place and visiting my Mum in the local retirement village.

I feel we have bonded well. The first week she used to go straight to bed (she sleeps in my room) after we got home and she had her dinner-about 6pm… and wouldn’t get up until 8.30am. I tried to get her to sleep in the cage downstairs, but that wasn’t a happening thing so it’s now in the garage. Now after dinner she parks herself on the couch next to me while we watch tv.

She is very good at not running away when she is off lead and if I say ‘stay’ when I want to put her lead back on she won’t budge until I get there. Such a good girl!

UPDATE: THANKS FOR THE OVERWHELMING INTEREST IN BONNIE!
A NEW FAMILY HAS BEEN CHOSEN BY THE CURRENT OWNER.

Up for adoption: Bonnie is 2yrs 4 months. Is good at retrieving things and also likes for you to hide things for her to find. Will eat anything. Bonnie currently doesn't get enough one on one time and attention. She is quite well behaved - always returns when called. A very loving and cuddly bitch. She has grown up with teenage girls and other dogs. No cats but current owner not think she would worry them. Has been around horses and cows. She is an inside dog but is in kennels and a run during the day. She is very busy and can be a full on dog. But is fine if she has enough time spent with her.

If you are interested in Bonnie ( she is in the wider Auckland area) then please follow the instructions below:
🐶 Send an email to [email protected]
🐶 Put ‘Bonnie’ in the subject line
🐶 You will then get by return email a set of questions to fill out

UPDATE: Laika has now found a new owner, thanks to all that contacted me and filled out the form, however only one home was needed and sorry if you are disappointed that it wasn't yours.

This is Laika, she is 8 years old and lives with an elderly couple that have had her since she was 2 years old. The couple move into a retirement village soon with no easy access to the outside and are therefore looking at rehoming Laika. Please no negative comments.

If you are interested in Laika ( she is in Levin) then please follow the instructions below:

Rehome - meet Millie, a female beagle, 4 years old - spayed, fully vaccinated and no health issues. Family need to rehome due to a change in circumstance with their newborn and needing to move and can’t take the beagle. She’s a beautiful natured dog and would be best suited to a couple who can give her plenty of attention and walks. Fully fenced of course being a beagle. Family would love her to go to the Central Otago area if possible and to a beagle/dog experienced family. Please message the page for contact details.

Baxter is up for adoption, please be kind, this is a difficult decision for the owners. If you are interested send an email to [email protected] and you will be sent an adoption form, once you have submitted your answers it will be sent to the owners so they can hopefully choose a good match for Baxter.

Baxter is a 14-year-old neutered male who is very much a beagle. He’s smart, loving, playful, mischievous, and lives for food and cuddles. There isn’t an aggressive bone in his body. He is absolutely clean in the house and knows many commands and tricks such as sit, down, stay, paw, roll over, turn, etc., and will do them reliably with incentives (a little treat goes a long way, even if it’s his regular chow) and often with none, although recall is based on his attitude in the moment. For many beagles, when the nose is on, the ears are off and he is no different!

His previous people had a baby and he was with them until their daughter was a toddler; he was great with her and he loves children. He also lived with another beagle who had epilepsy which, unfortunately, could not be managed effectively with medication. Despite his buddy’s strange and sometimes aggressive behaviour (he bit Baxter twice while having seizures), Baxter was very good with him and I think he has missed having another dog around to hang out with.

Despite Baxter’s age, he loves his walks and will still tear around the dog park in spurts of energy. When at home, he tends to sleep a fair amount in the day, and having a good bake in the sun in the backyard is something he loves. Any time of day, he is fully switched on during his walks. He is a master at finding the pizza slice in the gutter or sandwich in the shrubbery. Who knew so much food was just lying around!? He has been known to steal things that he thinks are special and bury them in the garden. Beagle-proofing the house is required with him, but he’s a normal mischievous beagle in that regard.

There are challenges with Baxter that go beyond the challenges (tendencies) of the breed, however. He has been diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease. His form of the disease seems to be the benign pituitary type. He is on medication for this, which is fairly expensive, but is helping. It is certainly no cure. Over time he has become increasingly anxious and focused on food (even for a beagle, he can become quite desperate for food). He is fed twice a day, but about ½ an hour before his dinner, he will demand bark. Once fed, he seems to be in “frustrated starvation mode” and will demand bark for more food for upwards of 2 – 2 ½ hours and lick the hardwood floor in desperation. We have a cloth in the kitchen specifically for wiping up dog spit. He will get at any food or chewable items that are within his beagly reach. It’s amazing how far his tongue or toe nail can reach up and over the counter edge. He is attracted to the lovely chewiness of shoes, so ours are always out of his reach. Yes, these things are real problems. The best way to get him to settle after supper is to coax him onto the couch or our spare bed and cuddle with him. It’s not a terrible thing, but it dies take time and patience.
In general, Baxter does MUCH better with consistency and routine. This is even more true with managing his Cushing’s Disease. He is a sensitive boy and becomes very anxious with changes to his routine. When things are out of kilter he licks more and barks more. We have consulted a professional animal behaviourist who confirmed that his kind of “demand” barking is very hard to train away, and indeed, despite her assistance and support, we’ve never made much progress. Baxter isn’t trying to be bad, I think he’s just desperately hungry and reacting to all the changes going on in our lives right now.
Baxter also has typical aging issues. He is slowing down and has a sore right hip and a sore disc in his back. With the Cushing’s Disease, we have noticed that his back end isn’t as strong. That doesn’t really slow him down, but means he’s not easily able to jump 63 cm up onto the spare bed for evening cuddles. (We give him a boost.) He’s on medication to alleviate his sore joints and this seems to work. He gets two good walks a day of about 2 – 2 ½ km each. (He’d be happy to go longer, but we suspect that over-doing it can make his hip sorer.) The past few days, he's been getting 3 walks and loving it, with no major negative effect. He loves the beach and the dog park. As with most beagles, he does need to be on leash unless in a fenced area.

Baxter is a character and we love him dearly. He was re-homed with us in 2019, and we intended on having him to his last day. We have not regretted our time with him. We think he’s just the greatest little guy. Unfortunately, we have had a series of unexpected and major changes in our lives. This means that we will be moving back to Canada, but will be living out of a campervan for 2-3 months between a week before when our house sale settles (May 1st) and when we leave for Canada (some time in July). When we get to Canada, the disruption continues with 2-3 residence changes being required in the first 6-months to a year. The situation is very complicated and not what we would have wanted, but we know this isn’t a good situation for Baxter. We’ve talked to our vet about the current and impending changes, and she thinks that if it was just a matter of the flights to where we’ll be in Canada, it would be manageable for him, but the ongoing change and disruption for perhaps a year would be extremely difficult for him.
It is because of this changing and complicated situation that we are looking at rehoming our wonderful boy Baxter. This has been an extremely difficult option to even contemplate. We are trying to do best by our boy, so please don’t judge us. If we weren’t moving, he would be staying with us – no question. We are not “throwing him away”. We are looking for the right home for him that can provide the consistent, patient and loving care that he needs. He has been a highlight in our lives for the past four years we have had him, and we want to ensure the rest of his days are as good as they can be. We have all of his medical history and are open to discussing any questions that seriously interested people may have. We are in the Christchurch area.

This is Marley and she is up for adoption with help from the Auckland Beagle Club.
Marley is just over 6 years old and was bred by Brooklane Kennels (no longer in existence).
It was requested that Marley come into urgent foster care as she had gotten into a fight with another dog over food and while the owner tried to separate the dogs the owners hand got badly bitten.
The owner wanted Marley to be euthanized but a family friend asked if she could have a couple of days to find another solution and here we are.
Marley is very overweight at 18.5kg. New prospective owners will need to be happy to keep in touch with me so I can see that the weight will come off. Therefore ideally she would stay in Auckland.
She would be best suited to be the only dog in the household and no cats.
If you are interested in Marley please send an email with as much information about yourself as possible to
[email protected]

This is Norman and he is up for adoption. Norman has SEVERE separation anxiety and is destructive and will howl and bark when left alone.
Norman is nearly 10 years old and was bred in Australia and his owners have split up, hence why he needs re-homing. Please no negative comments, sometimes life doesn't go as planned and something has to give.
Norman can only go to a home where someone can be with him 24/7. He currently goes to daycare 3 x a week. Settling in will be difficult for him and might take 3-6 months. It is recommended the new owner is willing to take Norman to a Vet Behaviorist (I can provide you with contacts) as he will need daily anti anxiety medication.
Another calm dog for company would be a plus, however it will NOT solve the separation anxiety.
Norman can be left in the car for short amounts of time if needed (this however might be an issue in summer).
If you are interested in adopting Norman please send an email with as much information as possible about yourself and your daily life to: [email protected]
Norman will be re-homed with help from The Auckland Beagle Club.
