Our mission is to rescue, rehome, spay/neuter and provide necessary medical care to beagles in need in the New England Area. We endeavor to improve the quality of life for beagles in New England through outreach and education programs. B.O.N.E.S. was founded in 2003 for the purpose of rescuing beagles and placing them in forever homes. B.O.N.E.S. is registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a nonprofit organization. B.O.N.E.S. is an all volunteer organization, comprised of dedicated people who want what is best for beagles in their area.

THE BEGINNING

BONES (Beagles of New England States, Inc) was founded in May of 2003 after BREW, another beagle rescue organization, made the decision to close their two year old New England Chapter. 

Five BREW NE volunteers felt there was a continuing need for beagle rescue in the NE region and made the decision to organize as a new rescue.  During the next six months BONES became incorporated, received its 501 (c) (3) status, created a website, and wrote and implemented guidelines and procedures.  While this work was in process, beagles were being brought into the program and wonderful homes were found for them. 

Thank you to all the volunteers that made this happen and to the founders of BONES.
