- Read the site information. Its clearly spelled out in crayon that we RARELY take in owner surrender beagles because that means we take up a spot for a beagle who may be in a shelter facing euthanasia. So don't send me an email talking about how you don't have the time for your beagle and you must have the beagle gone before you leave for vacation. Let me inconvenience my life for your situation and lack of responsibility. Let me jump right on that.
- I am very sorry that you take our "no fence, no beagle" policy so personally. I assure you that there are plenty of other beagles out there that you do not have to have a fence to adopt. Start with the local shelter right now. There are several in there.
- I promise your child will not be scarred for life if she does not get "this" beagle. The child has only seen this beagle on a website. If she had to have a pink pony, what would you do?
- Please don't guilt trip us and use "my child is adopted and wants nothing more then to adopt this beagle" What kind of sob story is that?
- Dont assume that just because we require a fence before we will look at an application means that we are NOT looking at the dog's best interest and YOUR family is the only family that can give the dog a good life regardless of a fence. What about the other 9 applicants who are better qualified?
- Did it occur to you that there is a reason we have these beagles because they probably escaped a yard and followed their nose to the next zip code? Do your research and you will see that every qualified source will tell you beagles need a yard. Period!
- Oh and before you speak, know who you are speaking to. I once had 3 beagles in a town home without a yard and it was a NIGHTMARE. I have leash burns on my ankles, so don't tell me. Know what happens when you assume? Yeah.....
- If I spend all day going out of MY way to help you find boarding for your beagles because you are about to lose your home, the least you can do is call me back and tell me what option you choosing. Especially when I offer to help with the boarding expense. Shall I look at the shelter list to see if you just dumped them off there?
- Lastly makes sure that everyone in the family is on board for adopting one of our beagles, especially the primary care giver. Dont waste our time hoping that we will help you convince your spouse to adopt a beagle. We can see past that and you will end up with an unapproved application. Sorry....
