ApolloUPDATED 9/27/2026! Hi! My name is Apollo! I'm a 3-year old male tricolor beagle. I'm a happy, independent little whippersnapper! I've got tons of energy! I can easily climb a chain link fence & get over it. So if I go to a home with a fenced yard, it needs to be something I can't climb over - or go under! I used to live outside in a pen, but I'm living in a foster home now & I'm doing quite well! I walk well on a leash & I'm doing well with housetraining! I'm working on learning 'sit' - that's a little harder, as you can see in my video on my PetFinder page. It means I have to sit still for awhile! LOL I've been around children who are 7 and 11 years old now & I'm good with them. I'm dominant with other dogs. I would be happiest if I was the only dog! But I'm in a foster home right now with 2 other dogs & I'm doing ok with them! (BTW: The other dog in the video is my foster mom's dog & not available for adoption). I just LOVE one-on-one attention with my people! Nittany Beagle Rescue isn't sure how I would be with cats. Of course, I need to be in a securely fenced in yard or on-leash at all times when outside since I'll take off - as will most beagles! :) And I can be pretty vocal when I want to be LOL I just need a loving, patient person to give me a forever home! I should be crate trained since I'm used to traveling in a crate. I'm up-to-date on vaccines & neutered! So I'm ready for my forever home! I weigh about 20-22 lbs. Please think about making me part of your family! Go to my PetFibder page to see more photos of me & my video! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/apollo-2d71e543-1694-4ff8-a461-e14bad943c2f/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

AsterHi! My name is Aster & I'm a 2-3 year old female beagle. I'm beautiful as you can see! I am very high energy! I'm playful, & I like to play fetch & ball! And I love to go for walks & runs! I would be a great running partner! I also love to cuddle! I lived in a home with other dogs & young children. I was great with everyone. I'm housetrained. I will go to the door & wait for someone to let me out. I'm used to going outside every few hours. I'm so smart, I bet my new person could teach me to ring a bell when I needed to go outside! I prefer to sleep in bed with my person. I'm crate trained, but when I was first crated, I didn't like it. So I have a small scar on my snout from me rubbing the wire on the crate. Like I said, I'm pretty smart & so I figured out how to open the latch on the crate door. So the door on the crate needs to be securely shut. Also, that means if I go to a home with door handles rather than door knobs, then the door would need to be dead bolted shut - otherwise, I'll probably jump on the handle with my paws & open the door. I need a new home because I kept escaping from my prior owner's yard. I jumped a 3 foot fence from an elevated landing - so I might be OK in a yard with a standard 4 foot fence, as long as I can't get on something elevated to jump the fence. I'm very smart & so a fenced yard would need to be beagle proofed (like making sure I can't squeeze through a part of the fence or under it). Also, I need a home where I can't dash out the door. I weigh about 26 lbs., but I'm petite! I was in a home with cats for a short while & I was pretty fixated & excited by them. And so a home without cats would be best. I really like to bark! I've got a great beagle howl! I'm already spayed & up-to-date on vaccines! Now I just need my forever home to fine me! Are you it?! Go to my PetFinder page to see more photos of me! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/aster-29ffa32c-6db1-49ae-9870-f5a2c1687311/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

BaileyUPDATED PHOTOS 9/27/2026 Hi! My name is Bailey & I'm a 10-year old lemon & white male beagle. I'm very active for an older guy! I like to play fetch & play with toys! I also love to go for walks, but it's best to walk me with a harness or else I'll pull pretty hard. I also like to sleep! LOL I'm a very loving & attentive fellow. I'm a good watch beagle! I'll let you know when someone walks by the house ... like a beagle alarm! I'm in a foster home now with another dog, & I'm doing very well with him! I'm housetrained, although I may mark a little when I go into a new home. I'll bark when I need to go outside, & I'm used to going outside about 3-4 times a day. I ride well in a car. I like to sleep with my people - or in a dog bed at night - it's depends how I feel that night :) I will counter surf - because I just KNOW you forgot my dinner! I also know how to sit! I'm very food motivated! I've been around older children (12 & older) & I'm fine with them. I haven't been around cats, but I'm probably fine with them also. I might have some seasonal allergies (I just started taking apoquel & it worked wonders right away!). I'll probably be anxious when I go into my new home the first couple of days, but then I'll chill out & you'll think I've lived there my entire life! I need a new home because my person has cancer & the family was having trouble caring for me. I'm up-to-date on vaccines & neutered. So I'm ready to go to my forever home! Please think about making me part of you family! Go to my Pet Finder page to see other photos of me. More photos are coming soon! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/bailey-83432603-ea3e-4443-a56b-4d11e496ccf8/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

BenjiUPDATED 3/20/2026 Hi! My name is Benji! I'm a super friendly 8-year old male beagle. I'm a happy pup! I'm a very loving guy! I love to hang out on the sofa with my people! I also love to go for long walks! I was crated a lot in my former home, & so I don't like the crate now. If I have to be confined, then it's better to baby gate me in the kitchen. I've lived with young children & I love to play with them! When I came into Nittany Beagle Rescue, I drank excessively. Nittany Beagle Rescue took me to the vet & it turns out I have Cushings. I'm on meds for that & they work great! I don't drink excessively at all anymore! The meds for that are $93/month through Chewy. I got a little chunky & I'm on a diet. Once I loose more weight, the cost of my Cushings meds should decrease. I'm housetrained. I usually go outside about 3 times a days. I've lived with another dog & I did ok. I'm great with cats! I'm already neutered & up-to-date on vaccines. Please think about making me part of your family! I've been waiting quite awhile for my forever home to come along! Please think about making me part of your family! You will be so happy you did! Go to my PetFinder page to see more photos of me! Updated photos are coming soon! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/benji-896849c9-14cc-42cb-b7b9-3dfd8b299157/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ PA Kennel License 4068 |

BentleyUPDATED 06/3/2026 Hi! My name is Bentley! I'm a 7-year old male tricolor beagle. I'm a very special guy & I need a special home! I'm a very loving dog! I love to sleep & cuddle! I love to be petted! I'm also active! I like to walk! I want to sleep in bed with you at night! But I'm also pretty insecure. I really need to be close to my person. I'm housetrained, & I'm used to going outside 3-4 times a day. I'll scratch at the door or beg to let you know I need to go outside. I'm not crate trained & I don't like the crate at all. I get worked up when people try to leave me - even if you just want to leave the room. But you just have to firmly tell me to go to my place. In the past, I've tried to block the path & nip/bite at the person leaving. But I'm not doing that in my current foster home. The structure of my current foster home works well for me. I live with 1 person (a woman) & 2 other dogs. So it's a very quiet low-key home. I need that - some place quiet & not much activity. I really need a patient person who can work with me, & has good dog skills. I would do best in home with one person who is home all or most of the time - but if you have to go to work, I understand. I can handle it. I'm fine with cats & other dogs. However, I don't do that well with bigger, more dominant dogs - they intimidate me! But I'm fine with dogs my size & smaller, & bigger dogs that don't try to boss me around. I also don't like anyone messing with my food. I'm sure you understand ... I mean it's my food & you know how beagles are about their food. I'm fine when I go to the groomers, although I will howl when you turn the blow dryer on! I weigh about 30 lbs. Anyways, I really need a a very patient & loving home with a person who is willing to try to understand me & work with me. Are you it????? Please think about making me part of your family if you are! Go to my PetFinder page to see more photos of me! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/bentley-99df58d0-2bb0-43ab-a2e3-d10d0718af86/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ PA Kennel License #4068 |

Buford & SmokeyUPDATED 4/17/2026 Hi! We're Buford & Smokey! We're 12-13 year old beagle mix brothers. We're very bonded & we need a new home together because our person became ill & was no longer able to care for us. We're gentle & affectionate boys! We love to cuddle & be touched! We're so loving, & we're wonderful companions to each other & our person! We're happy boys & quite sociable & friendly! We like to play tug-of-war, & we really enjoy being outside during the day, playing & hanging out in a fenced in back yard. We're also easygoing. We're used to hanging out on the couch with our person & sleeping in bed with them at night. We've been around teenagers & do fine with them. We're used to going outside 5 times a day. We'll let you know we need to go outside by making small barks and/or excitement around the door. We're afraid of lightning & thunderstorms. We've lost a lot of weight since coming into NBR! Buford weighs about 50 lbs & Smokey weighs about 65 lbs. We're not overweight, though! We're just bigger boned! :) We eat turkey & venison (beef & chicken dog food don't really agree with us). We both take apoquel for allergies. A home without other dogs would be best since Buford can be a little bossy with other dogs. Please think about making us part of your family! We really need a home & we are such good boys! Go to our PetFinder page to see more photos of us! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/buford-smokey-fe1f3a35-4929-4bc4-a3af-923babfe5101/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

DollyUPDATED 6/12/2026 Hi! My name is Dolly! I'm a female fox terrier mix puppy! My dad is supposed to be a beagle - but who knows! The vet thinks I was born on 12/18/2025. I weighed 31.5 pounds on June 12, 2026. So I'll probably grow up to a healthy weight of 35 pounds. I'm a very sweet & cuddly girl, & I'm good with the other dogs in my foster home! I can be a little shy at first but it doesn't take long for me to make friends! I love to play in water! I'm working on housetraining & making great progress! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & I will be spayed before I'm adopted. I'm so anxious to find my forever home! Are you it?? Please think about making me part of your family! Go to my PetFinder page to see more photos of me! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/dolly-5a6f32c3-e4b6-4872-a87b-280c83e3bdb7/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ PA Kennel License #4068 |

ElsaHi! My name is Elsa, & I'm a super sweet tricolor female beagle. I'll be 2 years old on Oct.10. I've always lived outside in a kennel, but I'm so anxious to be live in a home & be part of a family! I'm very, very active of course! Afterall, I'm a young beagle! For a beagle, I listen pretty well. Although, I am a beagle, so there are limits to how well I listen! LOL I'm a very sweet, good-natured girl! I'm great with other dogs. I've never been around cats. I'm quite petite. I will need work on housetraining & house manners since I've always lived outside. But Nittany Beagle Rescue can provide some advice on how to do that. I'm up-to-date on vaccines & will be spayed before I'm adopted. I'm so anxious to find my forever home! Are you it! Please think about making me part of your family! See more photos of me & my video on my PetFinder page! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/elsa-9d62b7df-cc9f-47ba-8ac3-17ac3b382416/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

HankUPDATED 8/1/2026 Hank is currently not available for adoption. NBR will continue to work with him to help him become more secure before placing him in an adoptive home. If you would like to track Hank's progress, we will update his description with periodic Progress Reports! Hank was found and was trapped after 1 month on the run! He is back in his NBR foster home. Hi! My name is Hank! I'm about 3 years old. A local shelter brought me up from a shelter in West Virginia where I was going to be euthanized. I'm fantastic with dogs! I love to be around dogs. But I'm a very timid guy with people. I used to be afraid to be touched. The folks at the shelter thought that I had been abused. I used to be really afraid of leashes. (The folks at the shelter thought I had been beaten with a leash). Anyways, the shelter transferred me to Nittany Beagle Rescue. So here I am! The folks at NBR are working with me to become less timid and afraid. I'm really making great progress! I'm in a foster home now - new photos are coming soon! I need a home where the people can work with me slowly and gently. I would probably do best in a quiet, low-key home. A home with another dog would be best. The other dog will make me feel secure. I will run away if scared, and so precautions are needed to make sure I don't run out the door, or slip my collar. Walking me with 2 leashes on 2 collars is best for quite some time. A home with a securely fenced yard is desirable. It is important there not be any gaps in the fence or under the fence. Most of all, I need a person who has experience with dogs like me. If you were following me on social media while I was lost, you know I am terrified of people & will not come near a person, even if I know them. I am working on housetraining and house manners in my foster home. I weigh about 30 lbs. I may sound like a lot, but I am so worth it! Please think about making me part of your family! Go to my PetFinder page & you can see more photos & a video. My photo of me in the crate was me on my 1st day with NBR. I was so frightened! But you can see how far I've come in my other photos! And check out my happy hop in my video! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/hank-0cbfe13b-535d-4d51-9b10-1024f23b153f/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

Leo & BellaHi! We're Leo & Bella! We a bonded pair of 10 year old beagles. We're a very sweet! We need a new home because our original owners couldn't keep us any longer & gave us to a family to keep us temporarily. So we're looking for our forever home! We're good with other dogs & cats! We're around a 6-year old and 8-year old children, plus a newborn in our temporary home. We do great with all of them! Bella is a happy girl while Leo tends to be quiet. We like hanging out outside on nice days! We're housetrained. Bella will stare & pant when she needs to go outside, & Leo will stare & bark when he needs to go out. We do like to hang out on comfy furniture. We sleep in a dog bed at the foot of the bed (on the floor) at night. We enjoy going for car rides! Bella is spayed & Leo will be neutered before they are adopted. We do need a home together. We're up-to-date on vaccines. We weigh about 40 lbs. each. And so we are looking for someone who wants to love us & make us part of their family forever! Please think about bringing us into your home! Go to out PetFinder page to see more photos of each of us! Leo is the one with the browner face. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/leo-bella-2ca3a450-c5d1-40ee-a491-13e6e09597c0/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

MiltonUPDATED 9/8/2026 Hi! My name is Milton! I'm an adorable male beagle mix! I'm a young guy, probably only about 2 years old. Which means I have lots of energy! I just love to be petted & cuddled! I'm just so sweet & I absolutely love people! I would like to melt into my person! I was at a shelter for awhile & so the shelter transferred me to Nittany Beagle Rescue. It's possible I lived in a home before & so it's possible I'm already housetrained or partially housetrained. I'm already vaccinated & will be neutered before I'm adopted. I weigh about 33 lbs. Would you think about making me part of your family? I'm so sad not having a family of my own! Check out more photos of me & my video on my PetFinder page! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/milton-092e87e6-99dd-4c9a-a321-3353e27c57b5/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |

MochiHi! My name is Mochi! I'm a lovable, very energetic 6-7 year old female beagle mix! I love to play tug-of-war! I'm a friendly, very affectionate girl! I love to have my belly rubbed! I like to be cuddled & sit on my person's lap! I like to sleep in bed with my person! When I'm chilly, I like to sleep cuddled up against my person's legs! I love being talked to with an upbeat excited voice! I'm active & playful, & I really need someone who can get me the exercise I need! I'm housetrained for the most part, although I might have an accident a few times a month. I'm used to going outside 5 to 6 times a day. I don't really tell you when I need to go outside. So I would do best in a home with a fenced yard - that way I can get the exercise I need & go out a lot! I'm crate trained, although I'll whimper in the crate if I know you're there. I don't really like cats. I'm in a foster home with 3 other dogs, & we get along great! I love to play with them! However, when I go for walks, I'm not good with the other dogs that pass by. I don't like to share my food with other dogs. But I'll share my food with people! I don't like car rides - I get car sick. I'm just a little thing - I'm about 20 lbs. I just really need someone who will love me & who will give me the forever home that I need! I have a scar on my back. The vet thinks it's from an old burn. I'm already spayed & up-to-date on vaccines, & so I'm ready for my forever home to make me part of their family! Please think about making me part of your family! I want a forever home so bad! Are you it?? Go to my PetFinder page to see more photos of me! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/mochi-girl-73313336/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/ PA Kennel License 4068 |

ShermanUPDATED 7/26/2026 Hi! My name is Sherman! I'm a male fox terrier mix puppy! My mom is a fox terrier. My dad is supposed to be a beagle - but who knows! The vet thinks I was born on 12/18/2025. I weighed 35 pounds on July 23, 2026. So I'm probably at my healthy adult weight now. I'm a very sweet & cuddly boy! I'm a busy boy who loves to play! My foster mom says I'm as goofy as can be! :) I love to play in water! Check out my video of me playing in water! I adore other dogs! I will need to go to a home with at least one other dog. The other dog provides me with a sense of security. I'm working on housetraining in my foster home & making great progress! I'm up-to-date on vaccines & neutered. I'm so very anxious to find my forever home! Are you it?? Please think about making me part of your family! Go to my PetFinder page to see more photos of me! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/sherman-bce4d3f9-4f22-48c7-90e2-561a1489e90c/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ PA Kennel License #4068 |

SylvesterUPDATED 9/19/2026 FOUND & Available for Adoption! Hi! I'm Sylvester & I'm a 3-year old male tricolor beagle. I'm an affectionate little guy! I'm the sweetest & coolest little thing! I used to live outside in a pen, but now I'm in a foster home & I'm LOVING it! I'm very bashful and shy, but I love to see & meet people, and cats, & horses with buggies! I'm very alert - I always know what's going on! I'll let my people know if something important is happening, like the neighbors leaving to go out. But I'm very quiet about it! LOL I also like to hide! I'm working on housetraining in my foster home. They are teaching me to go to the door & ring a bell when I need to go outside. I'm making progress! Yeah! I'm crate trained. I've been around children who are 7 and 11 years old now & I'm good with them. I'm good with other dogs. I tend to be submissive with other dogs - I just want to get along! But I don't like to be bullied by other dogs. I'm full of energy! I will climb a chain link fence & get over it. I will also sneak out the door, if I get a chance! So if I go to a home with a fenced yard, it needs to be something I can't climb over - or go under! I need to be in a securely fenced in yard or on-leash at all times when outside since I'll take off - as will most beagles! :) I'm used to traveling in a crate & I travel quite well. I'm up-to-date on vaccines & neutered! I just need a loving, patient person/family to give me a forever home! I weigh about 19 lbs. - but I could gain a couple of lbs. Please think about making me part of your family! Check out my video & more photos of me on my PetFinder page! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/sylvester-7d1980b1-761a-4ce6-a2cc-cde3c58f6316/pa/west-decatur/nittany-beagle-rescue-pa98/details/ Kennel License #4068 |
