CAMERON
adult (~ 4 years),
Beagle/Miniature Pinscher (?) mix, spayed female
Cameron is a high energy young beagle who found her
way to our rescue through a veterinarian's office in Northern New Jersey.
Cameron completed an evaluation at the
University of Pennsylvania Behavior Clinic
and does best when on some medication to decrease her anxieties. She is
generally crate and housetrained, but will have an occasional accident due to
her anxiety. She loves to play with other dogs, and will play fetch with
someone for as long as they are willing to play. Cameron's ideal home is
with a committed, child-free adopter - preferably with some beagle or dog
training experience! Please ask about Cameron so we can find her the loving home
she deserves! |

 GEOFFREY
adult
(~4 years),
neutered male
Hi! My name is Geoffrey!
I've had an interesting road in my short walk of life...
I was bred for research, and arrived
at my laboratory when I was 1 year old. Baseline blood and
urine tests showed that something was a little "off" with my
kidneys. The lab kept me for a whole year - never using me
in any studies - and after my last round of blood and urine
tests about a year later decided that I just could not be used
in any studies, and needed to leave the laboratory. They
were kind enough to ask CBR-East if they could take me to help
diagnose my condition and find me a forever home. So here
I am!
Update: Geoffrey had an
ultrasound which indicated that there are no structural
abnormalities to account for his kidney issues. In some
ways that is good, but in others, means that there is something
wrong with the way Geoffrey's kidneys are functioning that we
cannot really fix.
What Geoffrey has is called
glomerulonephritis
(GN). It is insufficiency of his kidney function, and
causes him to lose protein (proteinuria) through his urine.
There are dogs that can live many years with "GN" with just
basic support, but adopters must understand that Geoffrey will
need continued monitoring and treatment. He is currently taking
ACE inhibitors (Enalapril), and takes EFA caps and Colostrum
caps as his supplements. He is on an all natural food, and
has yogurt with his breakfast. He is thriving with this
combination and this should continue until a vet recommends a
change. His kidney levels will need to be checked every 3
months.
Geoffrey is ADORABLE, and just loves
to cuddle. He is afraid of just about everything -
including his own shadow and reflection in a mirror! He is
coming along nicely, though, and loves to play with other
beagles. If Geoffrey had been brought into a home when he
was a puppy, you would have no idea that there is anything wrong
with his kidneys. He has no clinical symptoms. It
was really own caught because of the testing done in the
laboratory which most veterinarians would not normally begin to
do for a housepet until about 5-6 years of age! He is working on
his housetraining and cratetraining, and would do best in a
calm, quiet home with a fenced in yard, another friendly beagle
to play with, and someone home a good part of the day. He
would do best in a home with adults only - and preferably no
men. He is just afraid of a lot...

SAVANNAH
young
(~ 3 years),
spayed female
My name is Savannah! I was retired
from a biomedical research experiment which left me with just 1
kidney! Hey - I got to help some people with kidney
transplant research, and now I get to find a forever home. :)
How awesome is that?!
I am loving exploring this
fascinating world outside the laboratory. If I can tell
you one thing, it is that I LOVE toys! Balls are really
cool, and I love to chew on nylabones. Once I get to know you, I
am crazy! I give kisses all the time, and I love to play
with other dogs. The problem is that when I first meet, I
will run away. I will need very patient adopters to
understand this, and still be willing to adopt me and work with
me. I tend to "bolt" whenever I hear a sound, so a fenced
in yard is really important. If there are two things I
MUST have in my forever home, they are: a fenced in yard and
another dog.

WALKER
adult
(~5 years), neutered male
Walker just arrived to CBR-East. :) He is
an adorable little beagle who was used in biomedical research
studies. There are no anticipated short or long term effects
expected from his "time of service." Now, we just need to find
him a loving home!
Update: Walker has had
quite an adventure here at CBR-East. After being with us for
less than a week, Walker accidentally got out of his foster home and
was lost in the woods and on the busy streets of Princeton, NJ for 8
long days. With the help of our amazing volunteers, the
Princeton community, the Animal Control Officer, and about $1,500 in
supplies and reward money, Walker was trapped in a humane trap on
the 8th day and came back to CBR-East. He is settling in
nicely in a new foster home, but has some weight to gain, and needs
to work on his housetraining. Walker is quite terrified now
when he goes outside, and really wants nothing to do with the
outdoors at this point in time. We think Walker would do best
as an only dog in a home since he is challenging the more
dominant dogs in his foster home. We see the potential for
Walker to have some separation anxiety, so someone who is home, or
who can give him a lot of attention and training would be the best
fit for him. We think an active home with young children will be too
overwhelming for Walker. He is a great little beagle who
experienced an 8 day adventure long before he was ready to do so,
and now needs to find some security and stability in a wonderful and
loving adoptive home.
Update: Walker
is doing fabulously! He is very much a "boy" - loves to
wrestle with other dogs (although we still think he would do best as
an only dog, but with playdates!), loves to chew on nylabones, is
quite muscular and just looks like a handsome boy. He enjoys
being outside again, and has reacted well to new people he has met.
He is cratetrained and housetrained to a schedule. He still
loves his dogbed and would make a great companion for the right
adopter! He is initially cautious with new people and new
environments, but with patience and time, will do great!

DUKE
adult (5 years),
neutered male
Meet Duke. Duke just turned 5 and
he celebrated his birthday by settling in to his
retirement and learning about life outside of a
laboratory.
Duke is a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be
loved. He’s adapting well to life in a home (and having
a lap to curl up in).
He keeps his crate clean and dry both during the day
while his foster family is at work and at night.
Duke LOVES sitting out in the yard "people-watching"
through the fence. If anybody approaches he gets very
animated and will stand up on the fence "asking" to be
pet or any attention.
The neighbor had a children’s party one day and Duke had
the best time running up and down the fence keeping up
with the kids. At one point their ball came over the
fence and Duke chased it and batted it around quite
happily until it was retrieved and returned to the kids.
Duke is still learning what is and isn’t "OK" to chew,
so keeping an eye on him, especially when he gets too
quiet is a good idea. Substituting an "approved" object
for the incorrect one has been effective.
A full flight of stairs is still a challenge for him,
but he handles the 4 steps from the back porch to the
yard with no problem.
So far Duke has met no strangers, simple new friends –
men, women, children, cats, other dogs…
Housetraining is coming along well as long as he gets
outside as soon as he’s loose from his crate we’ve had
no accidents, but he would rather be with a person than
go outside so it is still necessary to walk him to the
door.

LUKE
- ADOPTED!
adult (5 years),
neutered male
Luke has arrived at CBR-East!
We do have one word that describes Luke - happy. :)
Luke is incredibly friendly, and seems to love everyone he
meets - men, women, children... He even likes the
kitten, but just wants to be near her. :) We would
recommend that Luke be an only dog, though, because when he
has to share space with some other adult male dogs, he
doesn't always enjoy that! He is cratetrained and is working on his
housetraining. He likes to run and play, and
his tail is always wagging. He loves to just curl up
in a dog bed in the same room you are in. He is soft like a teddy
bear and he'll follow you around just to be near you.
He is quite sweet and incredibly adoptable. :) OK, so maybe
there is more than one word to describe the adorable Luke!
Please consider giving this little dog, who has spent his
entire life being used in nontoxic dosing studies for
biomedical research, a chance to "retire" as a loved housepet! You won't be disappointed!

ALFIE
adult (4 years),
neutered male mix
Alfie has arrived at CBR-East! OK - so he's not exactly
a purebred beagle, BUT, he is absolutely one of our
laboratory retirees! Alfie has spent his entire life
in a research facility and never ended up being used for any
studies! We thought that still qualified him for our
Laboratory Division, and we made an exception to help this
special dog get a second chance at life. :)
I am a very sweet boy but new people and things make me nervous so I will need a patient owner to help
me build my confidence. I am totally housebroken and crate trained. I'm looking for a quiet forever home without
young children. I love the other dogs in my foster home, and really need to be in a home with at least one other
dog (maybe two!). I'm also very good with the two cats in my foster home. I love to play with toys and entertain
myself, as well as run around the yard with my beagle foster brother! I'm kind of a loaner when it comes to people,
though. Women are definitely my preferred gender. :) But with some love + patience I'm sure I will learn to be comfortable and affectionate.
ALFIE IS BEING FOSTERED IN CONNECTICUT.
NEW ENGLAND AND CONNECTICUT APPLICATIONS ARE WELCOMED!

RYAN
-
ADOPTED!
young (2 years),
neutered male
Wanted- a loving family who will play with me, take me on
walks and introduce me to the exciting world outside of a
laboratory. I am a very friendly 2 year old beagle who is
full of curiosity about the world around me. I am quickly
understanding this retirement thing and enjoy racing around.
I seem to like everyone I have met - other dogs, men,
women and children. I haven't met a cat yet, so not
sure about those! I keep my crate clean, and give you signals as to when I
have to go outside. I will need continued work with my
housetraining, though. I am
learning sit, and think I do ok with it, I am learning lie
down, or down, and wait. I try real hard and want to make
you happy. Will you be my new family?

CAGNEY
- ADOPTED!
senior (9 year), spayed female
So how many homes does a beagle
really need? You'd think just 1, right? Well, Cagney
and Lacey have had 2 so far, and now at 7 and 9 years old,
they are looking for a 3rd - preferably together, if
possible!
Cagney and Lacey were surrendered to a vet's office and then
a shelter back in 2006. Their family could no longer
afford to keep them. CBR-East brought them into the
rescue and found them a loving family. Funny how
history repeats itself since after 4 years in a loving home,
financial reasons are once again plaguing these sweet girls
and their owners have returned them to CBR as they once
again need to find a new home. It is not that Cagney
and Lacey have had any medical or behavioral problems -
their owners were struggling to provide even the basics of
routine vet care for them. We think enough is enough for
these great beagles who are now in boarding at
Camp Bow Wow in Lacey, NJ. This dynamic duo just needs a
home to love them and offer some stability and permanence.
Cagney is the older beagle of this awesome pair! :)
She is pretty mellow, and is just a great beagle. She
is housetrained and loves the company of other beagles.
She's been living in homes with older children. We would
like to keep Cagney & Lacey together since they have never
been apart, but we will consider splitting them if
absolutely necessary. Please, we are looking for a
true forever home for these great girls. They deserve
it already! Please apply for this great pair! Cagney
would love a nice lap to nap on!
Thank you to
Michael Bagley Photography for taking the great pics of
the girls! |

Lacey is the younger beagle of this awesome pair! :)
She is more active and mischievous, but can also be a little
more fearful of things like storms. She'll follow you
everywhere you go would love it if you tossed her a bone to
chew on every now and then (or every day!). She may need a
refresher with housetraining, but in she has the general
idea! We would like to keep Cagney & Lacey together since
they have never been apart, but we will consider splitting

MARISSA
young (1 year), spayed female
Meet Marissa!
She was involved with a biomedical
research experiment which left her with just 1 kidney! The
kidney she has is her own, and just like people, dogs can
live normal, healthy lives with just one kidney! All
she needs now is a forever home!
So far, Marissa is basically behaving like any other 1 year
old beagle! She is energetic, playful, mischievous,
and a lot of fun. She is cratetrained and is working
on her housetraining. She likes to play with the other
dogs in her foster home, but we do not feel she needs to
have another dog in her forever home. A fenced in yard would
be great to help use up some of her extra energy, though!
She seems to love everyone she meets, so a typical home
environment would be wonderful for her. :)

GABBY
- ADOPTION PENDING
young (1 year),
spayed female
Hi! I'm Gabby Rae, and I am
ready for a home! I spent some time hanging out at a
research facility, but then they didn't need me, so I am
ready to start a new life. :) I'm a small little girl who
loves to be held and have my tummy rubbed. :) I love
playing with my beagle foster sister. I even met
my neighbors cat and he was nice too. Like most beagles, I
will do anything for a treat.. I can sit and lay down when
you ask me. I even spend all night sleeping quietly in my
crate. I am doing well with my cratetraining and
housetraining, but will need someone willing to continue to
help me with those things! I'm not a big fan of the
car, so someone who doesn't expect me to take frequent car
rides would be ideal! C'mon - it's more fun to snuggle
with me on the couch anyway!
I am a higher energy beagle, so another beagle in the home
and a fenced in yard would be best for me. I haven't met
anyone I haven't liked, so if you have the right set up for
me, please give me a shout! :)

CELIA
- ADOPTED
young (3-4 years), spayed female
Hi!! I am Celia. I am about 3 years old and weigh only
about 13 pounds! I am small, so my top weight will
probably be about 15 pounds. I am adjusting well to my
foster home. I get along well with the dogs here and
also the cat. I love to play with the other dogs. I have
my own crate and I am quiet when I am in there.
Sometimes I have an accident and wet in the crate or in
the house, but I am doing much better with that. I love
to ride in the car and just curl up on the seat and
enjoy the ride. I walk on the leash several times a day
and enjoy going outside. I do not bark much and love to
sleep in the chair next to one of the other dogs. I am
friendly and love to lick, lick and lick my foster Mom's
face. I am a happy girl. :) If you think you can help me
with the rest of my housetraining, I will make a great
companion.

DRU-
ADOPTED
young (1-2 years), spayed female
Hi!! My name is Dru but I should have been named Pee-Wee coz
I'm very small! I'm new to CBR but the ladies that helped
drive me here from the shelter all commented about my sweet
personality.
I currently am in foster care with some pretty cool pups and
when we aren't all playing in the yard you can find me
curled up on the daybed (check me out in the photo!! This is
the life).
I'm up to date on vaccines, weigh in at only 12 or 13 lbs
and guess what? I won't get much bigger! I'm crate trained
(keep it dry every night and day), although I do not love my
crate. I love cuddling. :) |

Charms
is new to our rescue but she's having a blast in foster
care. She currently spends her time chasing her foster
brothers and sisters, rollin in the grass and livin the good
life every doggie deserves. Charms would be great with kids
and she plays very nicely with the pooches in her foster
home. We dunno anything about her and cats but we have
a suspicion they wouldn't bother her in the least. She
is working on her cratetraining and housetraining, so you'll
just have to help her out a bit with that!
