Donation Information

Volunteers & Supplies Needed 

You might be asking yourself, "I can't adopt another beagle right now, so what can I do to help?" Well, there's a lot! Donations of supplies, time, and funds helps us accomplish our mission: to rescue and rehabilitate abandoned, abused and neglected beagles from throughout the state of Florida. Because we are a nonprofit organization, donations may be tax-deductible. Please complete a volunteer application to get started helping today!

Becoming a Volunteer

Volunteers are the entirety of our organization. It’s simple: the more volunteers we have, the more beagles we can save. Here are some of the things we need help with:

  • Help at adoption events Caring for dogs at the dog park and helping approved adopters find the dog they are looking for. Adoption events are held every other Saturday.
  • Transport dogs Help get our dogs to veterinary appointments, foster homes, and adoption events (they can’t drive themselves). 
  • Foster a dog in your home The need for good foster homes is a constant one. We get requests on a daily basis to help beagles in need.  We help as many as we can, but we can't save them all as we just don't have enough room. Becoming a foster home is the number one way to help us save more dogs - read more about it here.
  • Work with applications Assist with interviewing applicants and checking references.
  • Help ‘market’ the dogs Work with fosters to help maintain the biography and photos on each dog’s web page.
  • Assist with other paperwork Experience with nonprofits is a plus, including financial reports, fundraising and grant-writing.

Examples of the items we need:

  • Bags of dry dog food (preferably high-protein)

Financial help is always greatly appreciated. Most of the beagles enter the rescue with medical needs that must be met before they can be placed into permanent homes. All animals will be brought up-to-date on shots, sterilized, microchipped, and screened for health problems such as heartworm. Once these needs are met, we provide food, shelter and ongoing care for as long as the dog needs to stay with us. While adoption fees help offset some of these costs, the rescue still needs additional funding to meet the many needs of the beagles in our care. Here are some of the expenses we face each month:

$65 for annual shots and to spay/neuter a beagle
$60 to worm 15 beagles for one month
$75 to feed 15 beagles for one month
$150 for flea treatment (15 beagles per month)
$300 to treat a beagle for heartworms
$200+ for surgeries/treatments (cherry eye, fractured legs, etc.)

Donations may be tax-deductible as we are a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. Some corporations have programs to match donations to nonprofit organizations. This means that your donation to help beagles in need can be doubled – please be sure to ask your Human Resources department.
