About Major
A gentlepaw looking for his furever pack...I am a friendly, well mannered and outgoing 4.5 yrs young Pedigree Beagle who loves, loves, loves a cuddle and is looking for a family that are cuddly too! My owner calls me “the most beautiful, caring, well-behaved doggie” who is just looking for love, for snuggles on the couch and loads of affection with my hoomans!! The reason I am coming in to the foster system is because of some of the above and also the selflessness of my hooman who wants me to have much, much more than I already do… don’t go all jumpy to conclusions… this is difficult for my hoomans, they love me and treat me very well… but, I want more… I want to be allowed inside, on that comfy couch with my cuddly family and they know this and want it for me too!! :) I just need a little house training but my foster Mummy is already helping me with this.
So, shall we share a water bowl and get to know one another?? Beside, my gorgeous personality, friendly, loving, snuggly nature… I can be the class clown too, apparently this is what my hooman says but hey… who doesn’t want laughter and Beagle quirks in their life???? I am down to earth, and love everything and everyone no matter what size, age, furry or not furry. I also love my family and friends, as they are super impawtant to me! I have also lived with some older hooman kiddies and one of those feline things, although I am outside and it’s inside, I have sniffed it’s butt and I guess ‘it’s’ ok. I would love some furry siblings, but I also don’t mind if I am an ‘only furry’ as long as you have LOADS of love and time.
Let’s talk about some of those Beagly traits that I may or may not have… as mentioned above, I am an outside doggie, so I do need some house and toilet training for my impending inside lifestyle… Even though I am walked twice daily, I may get my sniff on and pull a little on lead. I enjoy bath time, but I am unsure of those Mani/Pedi’s that girls go on about. I travel fine in a crate in the car, but I don’t get in the car very often and when I do, it’s only for small trips…but I am super keen and open to all adventures… It’s no lie, I am a true gentlepaw..as I am not a digger, chewer, or have any destructive behaviour, plus I do not excessively bark either! I do need help with some social skills, as when I was younger I was bitten at the doggy park by a bigger doggie so I haven’t been back to the doggy park, you will be happy to know though, I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body. I need help with my excitement as I get a little jumpy but it’s only because I’m excited and eager to meet you all!!! There is not a lot that I do not like, my favourite thing to do is of course EAT… hahahaha I am a Beagle after all… I am a true foodie! So there you go, who wants to snuggle on the couch with me furever?
*UPDATE* I have only been in foster care for 2 days now, and I have had to learn to use stairs, I’m now living with 2 furry foster siblings, and one of those feline things, now let me tell you… those things are scary! I’m slowly getting more and more brave and will now walk passed it, I also sniff it’s butt when it’s not looking… but as soon as it looks at me, I run the other way. I was a little timid when meeting my foster siblings, but they are teaching me to play and be more confident in myself and trust others! I enjoy car rides, I love to sit in the back seat with my seat belt on - my foster mummy had to check a few times, as she said I was super quiet and just sitting so still, but that’s good right?
I have visited the vet, and apparently I need to lose some weight, esp to help me with my hips, I am visiting again next week to get my teeth cleaned, and I need to stay out of the sun for a bit as I have a couple of little dermatitis spots that will clear up soon with some special cream my foster mummy is putting on me. Once I get the all clear from the Vets, and up to date on all my vetting I will be super keen to meet and greet
Medical notes
dermatitis caused from the sun, Neocort cream and not a lot of sun time will heal this.
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.
