Adopting a Beagle in Brighton is possible through Petopic: free adoption and rehoming listings from rescues and owners in Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area. Beagles are friendly, energetic hounds that need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Many are rehomed due to a change in circumstances rather than the dog’s behaviour. Giving one a second chance can be very rewarding for the right home.

How Dog Adoption Works in Brighton
Adoption is usually free or low-cost when rehoming from an owner or a rescue. Rescues often neuter, vaccinate and microchip before rehoming. They may ask about your home, garden, other pets and experience with dogs. Beagles can be strong on the lead and follow their nose; rescues may look for adopters who can provide secure boundaries and daily walks. Be honest about your situation so the dog is matched to the right home.
Beagle – Breed Overview
The Beagle is a medium-sized hound known for a friendly nature and a strong sense of smell. They need daily exercise, secure gardens (they can wander if they pick up a scent) and mental stimulation. They often get on well with people and other dogs. With proper care they can live into their early teens. Adopted adults often settle well when given routine, exercise and company.
Where to Find Beagles for Adoption in Brighton
Brighton, Hove and Sussex have local rescues and many owners who rehome via word of mouth or online. Petopic lists free adoption and rehoming ads so you can contact rescues or owners directly. You can also check breed-specific and general dog rescues that cover the South East. Always meet the dog before adopting and ask about health, behaviour and any training needs.
Before You Adopt – Checklist
- Exercise: Time for daily walks and safe off-lead or long-line exercise where appropriate
- Garden: Secure fencing; Beagles can be escape artists
- Training: Willingness to work on recall and lead manners
- Vet: Register with a local vet and plan for vaccinations and neutering if not already done
- Commitment: Beagles can live 12–15 years; be ready for a long-term commitment
