Volunteers Needed
Love your beagle? Have some free time, we can really use your help!
We are currently over run with applictions and not enough time to processes them all! We could really use some help screening applications, making phone calls and making home visits.
OKBR also needs help many aspects of beagle resuce including dog care, web site updates, filing, and general facility care and cleaning. So if you have some free time this summer we would sure use the help at the rescue!
Also if you have a free weekend or two and would like to join OKBR at a PetsMart for a beagle Meet and Greet, please contact us at
okbeagles@yahoo.com

A Explanation of our Rescue:
Please understand that we are volunteers. We appreciate every call and email we
get and make every effort to return them promptly, but please be
patient if we take longer than you'd like to get back to you.
Our rescue dogs are in foster homes around the state of Oklahoma. We do not have an adoption
center. Arranging to meet a beagle is at the foster home's convenience, only after a
thorough screening process. We have several public "adoption
days" at Petsmart in Oklahoma City- these are days set aside for public
viewing of the beagles available for adoption.
Please expect your call with a beagle rescue volunteer to
take about 30 minutes. We'll ask questions about your family, your
yard, if anyone is home during the day, the ages of your children, the
hours you work, if your other pets are spayed and neutered (we do not adopt to families
with unaltered dogs), what made you interested in a beagle, what you know about the breed and most
importantly, what questions you have for us about beagles.
Our goal is to unite dogs into loving homes, where the dog can
live out the rest of their lives happily. We take extra time in talking
with you to make that happen.
Our adoption fees range from $150-$200,
depending on how much medical attention the dog needed before it was
ready for adoption.
For those unfortunate dogs who test positive for heartworms, a higher fee may be required to help
cover the expensive costs of heartworm treatment. While we have
willingly contributed many of our personal funds to helping
our rescued dogs, if we do not receive at least some of the monetary
expenditures back, then it will not be possible to assist the next pound puppy we
encounter needing our help.

HOW YOU
CAN HELP:
Oklahoma Beagle Rescue gets calls every day about homeless
beagles - many of which are in kill shelters and have only a few days
to live. There are many ways in which you can help us with our
efforts:
- Offer to foster a beagle.See our "Fostering" page for more information.
- Help out at adoption days. See our "Volunteer Opportunities" above.
- Coordinate fundraisers for OKBR. Without funds, we can't afford to rescue any more beagles.
- Help with webpage design. We're so busy with beagles, we don't always have time for the website updates.
- Make "Adopt Me" bandanas for the beagles. This is something we'd love to have for them. So cute!
If you can do any of these, or have another idea for us, please
email
us at okbeagles@yahoo.com.
