Juno retired from research in 2010 and was adopted by our founder, Kate who says it was love at first sight. Juno took to her new life very quickly. In 2011 Juno became a certified therapy dog and went on to share her love with those in her community and accompanied Kate on many BeFreegle adventures. When not being a therapy dog or ambassador for other laboratory dogs, Juno loved to dig rather large holes in the garden and chase the resident groundhog. Juno left this earth on August 20, 2022 due to her advanced age and failing health. Her legacy lives on with every research dog who finds their way to BeFreegle.

Our dogs all come from biomedical research facilities and have no real world experience. By applying you understand that while adopting one of our dogs is a privilege it is also a lot of work. Before you apply be sure that everyone in your household is on board for training, accidents in the house, and lots of time standing still while you wait for them to decide to walk on leash. Two weeks is the minimum amount of time it takes for any dog to begin to settle into their new home. If you do not have the time or patience that these dogs require a Freegle is not for you. Please consider that before applying.

If you have not considered the above wait until you are ready so we can give our full attention to the applicants who are truly ready to take on this                 adventure. Thank you for your consideration.

To be considered to adopt a Freegle please fill out the online application here for any of our available Freegles. Our adoption fee is $400, unless otherwise noted.

You must fill out an adoption application and be approved prior to a meet and greet. We do our best to match Freegle with person / family who will best meet our dogs needs. Applicants can expect a week or more wait while we go through the applications and evaluate the needs of each Freegle. We appreciate your patience.

Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our Freegles.

But he beagle nose wins out every time. Poe gets long well with other dogs and could be an apartment dog in the right circumstances.
