About Raggy
We want Raggy to find his furever home, he has been in care since August… He is 13 months old and has had 5 homes including 2 failed trials, this has caused Raggy to have anxiety, lack of trust and love in his hoomans :( He needs strong guidance, structure, routine, rules and most of all LOVE… just like those cheeky small hoomans! With all this in mind we have reduced his adoption fee to $400. Please help us help Raggy find his furever home!
Hi my name is Ragnar but please call me Raggy, everyone else does… and I prefer it! I am super fun loving puppy, who once was a pack of 3 puppies in BRQ care about 9 months ago…and here I am again, without my 2 other amigos. I have come back in to BRQ’s care due to my energy levels being pretty high, but hey, I am still a puppy!! The other reason is my humans are having a baby soon, so they are worried about having less time for him once the human puppy comes along! Want to know a funny thing though, guess where I am for foster care….. ha! I am back hanging out with one of my siblings, Thor… but apparently his name is now Buddy, but hey I am over the moon and excited to see him again.
So let’s get to know me… I am happy, energetic, and very loveable…. I don’t scoff my food, nor am I aggressive with my meals… but I can be little over treats and toys… All my life, I have had my 2 siblings from the pack and then once adopted I had my adopted sister to hang out with, so I don’t like to be left alone but hey, who does?? So, I would love a play mate again, or I wouldn’t mind being the centre of attention where I don’t have to share my toys, as long as my family is active, will play with me, and let me inside to snuggle and just be with the hoomans.
I love a dog house, that I can call my own… as I do like my “me time” - I love walks, and playing tug of war. I can be a little mischievous and chew a little if I get bored.. BUT nothing like my foster brother does… ummm mahhhh! I am sure I will grow out of this soon, as I am still of course a puppy and I do like the extra stimulation and activities. I don’t bark very often but I am guilty of a little whimpering if you leave me along without a partner in crime to hang out with… So, as I mentioned before… I am full of energy and love to play, go for walks, i love to meet humans, furry friends… I love to chase and run with my mates… I play well with bigger and older dogs, as I can be a little cheeky and dominate the smaller ones… I need a mate who can keep up with me. I am all for a bath as long as its a warm one, I like to be pampered, I also like my mani and pedis…. I am toilet and house trained, I am an inside and outside doggie, I sleep inside at night… I definitely prefer the inside, but really anywhere where my humans are! My favourite things are my sandpit, I do like to chew things as my foster mum said above, but I am also learning to chew things I am allowed to… I love to socialise at the doggy park and love the beach… oh and I also love to treasure hunt, my owners would hide treats/food in the yard for me to hunting!
As I am still a puppy and learning life… I can get myself into trouble… I am a digger, but it’s not to escape… I love hunting for worms and lizards, I don’t try to escape I have a weakness for toilet paper, ripping things up and stealing things… but of course its all fun and games when you chase me! I need some training, some guidelines… and as said before, I can be a little dominating towards my furry friends… So I need a furry friend that I cannot get too bossy with or be a single furry member who has humans around me constantly to keep me from getting bored… I also need some strong tough love, who will continue my training to learn that the world doesn’t revolve around me and help me learn to share my toys.. I am a beautiful shade of Tan and White with freckles, I am also a rather tall Beagle but I know all the girlies love a tall man…. I have heard from humans that they think I am going to be stunning
Adoption details
All of our Beagles/crosses are vet checked and vetted prior to them being made available to adopt. They will be desexed as required, fully vaccinated, Heartworm tested, and Flea/Worming/Tick preventatives started, and any other medical needs completed or controlled with medication.
Once ready for adoption, a profile will be placed on the website and facebook advertising their full profile description and requirements. BRQ accepts applications until a given date. The committee will get together and read each one, choosing the best applications that suit each individual dog’s needs, personalities and developmental/health.
The foster Coordinator will organise the meet & greets between the foster parent who has the hound in care and the successful applicants. These take place in mutually agreed dog parks. We will ask that all family members and any other hounds you have already accompany you on the meet and greet.
For adopting families who are interstate or in regional QLD, meet/greets, yard/fence checks will be completed by one of our foster carers in the area, via Skype, or we may ask you to provide photos/videos of your fences, yard and places throughout the house/yard where your Beagle/Hound will be allowed to be and spend most of its time. If the successful family is needing transport via plane or other means, this will be a case by case discussion between committee and adopting family, and at least half the fees covered by the adopting family. BRQ can assist you to obtain a quote for this (Just know that all modes of transport will be scheduled based on the weather. For example, if the temperature is high that day, flights will be early morning or at night).
If successful with the meet and greet, a BRQ rep will organise to do the yard and fence checks. This is done to check that the fences and yard are both safe and all is secure enough that no Beagle can escape. Any potential problem areas that may need fixing can be brought to the attention of the potential adopting family. No trial weekend will take place until all problem areas of fencing have been fixed.
The foster coordinator will choose and contact the most suitable family for the particular dog they are applying for based on the meet/greet and yard/fence check and the needs of the dog. Whilst we allow the foster family to say goodbye to their foster dog, we ask for the adoption fee to be deposited and cleared in our bank account before any animal is released. We do not take cash payments, we give out our bank details and depending on who you bank with can take up to 48 hours to be processed.
Trial period up to 2 weeks is then organised, this time helps both you, your family, the foster dog and other pets become familiar with each other and see if it is a good match between you all. Whilst on trial, the foster mum or coordinator will call a few times during, and you are quite welcome to send us messages or call to ask questions or if there are any concerns etc. Please know you are covered by the trial period and if anything happens or there are issues, we ask to be contacted immediately. We can arrange vet care or any other requirements during this time. We can also help with any training tips or strategies to assist your new family member to settle in their new home, also with dietary and behavioural training during this time.
If after the trial ends you have decided to continue with the adoption of your Beagle/Hound or cross, we will send you out your adoption pack. In this pack includes, all vetting paperwork, Microchip details, Adoption certificate, Adoption Information, Receipt of payment, preventatives dates, With puppies, you receive a puppy pack. Life time guarantee of advice, training and support.
If for any reason the trial doesn't go to plan and when the dog is returned to us, we refund your adoption fee minus the $50 admin fee via bank transfer.
