Cats/Other animals: Has not lived with cats or other animals. Bosley interacts with the neighbour’s cat in the backyard in friendly manner

Children: Yes. Bosley is a loving, gentle, and playful dog who has been around children his entire life and enjoys their company. He is affectionate, patient, and loves being included in family activities. However, it is recommended that Bosley's new home has children aged 10 years or older. This recommendation is primarily due to his strong food motivation, which can make him very focused and excitable around food. Older children are generally better able to understand and follow the boundaries and routines that help manage this behaviour, such as asking him to sit calmly and respecting feeding times. With appropriate guidance and supervision, Bosley is a wonderful family companion who thrives on love, attention, and interaction.

Other dogs: While Bosley does not currently live with another dog, he is very well socialised and has spent much of his life around other dogs. He regularly interacts with dogs at the beach and dog parks, where he is consistently friendly, playful, and respectful. Bosley also attended doggy daycare, giving him plenty of experience socialising with a wide variety of dogs, both big and small.

Temperament: Bosley has a truly wonderful temperament and is a joy to be around. He is an incredibly friendly, kind, and loyal dog who loves meeting new people and gets along beautifully with other dogs. His affectionate nature and happy personality make him a much-loved companion, and he is always eager to be involved in family activities and social interactions. The only challenge is his strong obsession with food, which is very typical of the breed. His determination when it comes to finding treats or snacks can sometimes be difficult to manage, requiring extra supervision and consistency. Despite this challenge, his loving nature, loyalty, and friendly disposition far outweigh any mischievous food-seeking behaviour, making him a fantastic companion.

About: Since welcoming a child into our home, Bosley has found it difficult to adjust to no longer being the centre of attention, and despite our best efforts, he has not truly coped with this significant change in family dynamics. The decision to rehome Bosley has not been an easy one. We love him dearly and want nothing more than for him to have the happiest life possible in a home where he receives all the love, attention, and companionship he deserves.

Bosley is a kind-hearted, affectionate, and loyal Beagle who thrives on being part of the family. He is used to having someone work from home most days, so he would be best suited to a household where people are around frequently. That said, he copes well when left alone, is not destructive, does not chew household items, and has never shown any desire to escape. Most days, he is perfectly content lounging in a sunny spot, relaxing until it's time for a walk, some company, or, of course, a meal!

Bosley would be best suited to a home with children aged 10 years and over. He is a loving and playful family dog who has grown up around children and enjoys being part of family life. Due to his strong food motivation, we feel older children are better able to understand and follow the boundaries that help set him up for success. He would also be very happy in an adult-only home.

Like many Beagles, Bosley is extremely food motivated, and this is really his only challenging trait. When food is involved, he can become very determined and a little mischievous, so he needs an owner who is consistent, understands food-seeking behaviours, and is careful about keeping food out of reach. For this reason, we believe Bosley would thrive with someone who has previous experience owning Beagles or who understands the breed's well-known enthusiasm for food.

While managing his love of food requires some awareness and consistency, it is a small consideration compared to everything Bosley has to offer. He is a loving, gentle, and devoted companion who will bring endless affection, loyalty, and joy to the right home.

Please contact RACHEL who is BOSLEY'S owner on 0431 682 795. BOSLEY will remain in his home until RACHEL has made a decision about his new family.

Please note that as a private rehoming, we know only what Bosley’s owner has told us. He is not in care with Beagle Rescue NSW and we have not assessed him. Bosley’s owner will field all enquiries and make all decisions regarding his new home. Once Bosley’s new home is chosen, his current and new owners will need to complete and sign a Form C3A together, then lodge the completed form with council (no cost) to transfer his ownership details. Alternatively, ownership may be transferred online via the NSW Pet Registry (both current and new owners will need to register an account; current owner needs to 'claim' the dog, then transfer them to the new owner, new owner must 'accept' the dog to transfer ownership).

We recommend all dogs go to a new home on a trial basis, and that the trial period should be 30 days. In the event things don't work out (it happens), the dog would be returned to their original owner who would again seek to find them a new home. We recommend change of ownership forms are not submitted to council until a successful rehoming has been agreed at the end of the trial period.

Cats/Other animals: Has not lived with cats. He will bark at other animals such as cats or bush turkeys but has never had any incidents

Children: Yes. Billy is accustomed to teenagers.

Other dogs: Billy lived with another dog until 2 years ago, when it passed away. He is great with other dogs and goes to a dog park daily.

Training: Puppy school

Billy is an extremely friendly dog. He has never had any behaviour incidents, loves being patted and playing with people and all objects. Always super excited when someone comes over or my mum gets home.

Billy would make a great companion for anyone and would also be fantastic in a family setting. I am very sad to see him gone from my family.

Billy is on trial, should that be unsuccessul, contact details for his owner will be re-populated here.
