ATLANTA BEAGLE RESCUE
ADOPTION APPLICATION

We will be unavailable to review applications until after the 4th of July. We encourage you to complete an application and thank you for your patience.

Thank you for your interest in adopting a beagle from us. To adopt, a person must:

  1. Be an adult with the responsibility for maintaining a household.
  2. Have ID verifying address, such as a driver’s license.
  3. Be able to provide for the training and veterinary care of the dog and to pay an agreed upon adoption fee, to help cover the costs of rescue and vet care.

PLEASE NOTE: At this time we are unable to do adoptions outside the immediate metro Atlanta area (generally within 45 minutes drive time from downtown Atlanta). As we increase our volunteer base this may change. If you live outside that area, please visit www.Petfinder.org and search for beagles in your zip code area.

Our adoption fee is $200 and is NON-REFUNDABLE.

Required fields are highlighted. PLEASE FILL IN ALL FIELDS OF THIS FORM!! Incomplete applications will throw an error. If a required field does not apply, type "n/a". Many of the questions may seem cumbersome, but they help us to make the best possible match. It is better to type too much than not enough!
