Currently Available Puppies |
Announcements: Super Bowl Sunday at the Vet !!As much as we hated to ask our wonderful vet Brent Glenn at Faulkner animal hospital to come in and miss the end of the GAME !! we needed some help getting a backward feet first instead of head first little one out and he came to our rescue once again in the clinch doing an after hours Emergency C-section and delivering 5 darling tri colored beagle puppies  to First Time mom silver "Mouse" our Nano cutie who is one of our invisible fenced beagles !  Mouse is the 4 year old to the left standing under Orange and White Sunny's chin :) folks often ask who the puppy is in our Invisible fenced area out front , we tell um she is full grown and they cant believe it ! ......................................................................................................  Ruby's litter is weaning now , and momie is looking to get out and let them play and sleep without her constant vigilance..  wont be long till her little guys are ready to come home :) !! ..................................................... Good morning Christine, We've been meaning to write for such a long time. Unfortunately we never seemed to get around to it. To refresh your memory, we picked up Tucker from you in July of '09. Tucker was born to Darla and he was part of her first litter. What a companion. He's very quickly stolen our hearts. When we picked up Tucker we had recently had to put our previous dog Bo down. At the time, it was hard for us to believe that we would ever find room in our hearts for another pet. I'm so pleased to tell you that Tucker is the most loving, laid back pet that we've ever had. He has one requirement - Love. He gives back the love in spades!!! He's such a social pet. He loves nothing more than a vigorous play session and once tired out looks for the nearest lap to cuddle up on. He's been such a joy in our lives. We just wanted you to know how much we truly love having him as part of our family. Everything you advertise about your puppies, we've found to be true. The love and care that you provide them while their still in your hands shines through as they grow and develop in the new owners homes as our constant companions. Thanks for all your efforts. We remain raving fans. We've included a couple pictures of Tucker for your archives. J.R. Terri and Brandon Martinsburg, WV Eclipse and babes  Tues: Eclipse had her litter of Beauties all night long !  We love having the ones that look like puzzel pieces again ... she always has some open marked babies in her litter ! Monday:
Manhattan found her forever home with a gal who lives with her mom and her sweet Collie, she wanted her own pet again after having had a retired greyhound so she came to meet some of the older chocolate pups we currently hope to find good homes for !
Sunday: We plan to get the waiting list going again once Christi gets back and we add some new pictures of the babies !! We really appreciate folks patience with us while Christi's been out of town !! Christi's boyfriend Jake and his mom decided to pick her up at the airport , so she promissed to come Monday for a visit to share the details and photos from her Las Vegas trip ! Friday: we are excited Christi will be coming back Saturday from her flight to vegas and we look forward to hearing all about her travels ! We plan to get together with a young lady asking about our older chocolate beagle pups on Monday . Wed and Thurs: Our weather has been soooo nice here its making us feel like Spring Cleaning !! Not sure why but we have been able to run around in our tank tops and shorts and get lots done in expectation of our next babies arrivals which is wonderful this time of year ! We've been busy cleaning and coloroxing birthing areas here in preparation for our two upcoming litters by standard tri mom "Eclipse" and runtsize orange and white mom "Autumn" . Tues: "Gabby"our silver runtsized girlie by "Abigail" flew home to Nebraska today on Delta Dash , to Lisa who had lost her two older beagles and joined our waiting list for a little girl to join her home.

We hope everyone had a momentus one this year

Saturday a couple came who had flown down to visit family in nearby Indian Trail NC, while here they came to meet the remaining Tri colored boy puppies and chose one to join their waitinglist family as a surprise !
They picked Allies boy to take home onboard the plane tues. back home for their kids to enjoy !
His litter is finishing weaning and working on paper training now so they will be ready to find new homes in the next week or so.
we also met with Jaspers family who were going up to Concord to spend the Holidays with family and droped him off to board with us .
He gets to sleep in his own crate and bed with his stuffed toy to comfort him while his parents travel at his first home Sunshine Acres , lots of our customers tell us this helped in their decision to seek adoption of a beagle puppy from a family who loves them and watches them like they were at home again rather than having them stay in a new place like the vets kennel where they dont know any one or sleep in their own bed.
( they brought yummie treats to share with the kids and Miss C. for taking good care of their boy while they spent time with family.) We really appreciate folks for all their kindness to the kids and I with thoughtful things like this that show they care about what we do here for their baby , how much they appreciate our hard work , and that we are like a big family too ! ...................................

Tues: we went to charlotte to ship home both pups and have already heard back from Grahams new family how well he is doing!! ..................................................
Hi Miss C,
Just wanted to let you know that Graham is doing great! He's
adjusting just fine. He did
very good last night and hasn't had any accidents. He goes to the back
door when he needs to go out. He is also eating very well.
I wanted to
thank you for sending us a puppy who is very
beautiful, sweet, friendly,
gentle but also very playful. When he's done playing he loves to get up
on the sofa and just lay up against you...
 he can be very calm. We are already attached to him. When we picked him up at the airport the person in the cargo building talked about how beautiful he was. He said they had several puppies that went through the airport yesterday and Graham was the one with the best personality. 
I'll send another update and pictures as soon as I can.
thats just what we hope to hear when one of our darlins go to a new adoptive family !!!! .........................................................Santa has been sighted !!  We are happy to say Santa has Made plans to be in Maggie Valley North Carolina this weekend !! He is meeting with families there in advance of his flight-times . He came in on the Polar Express Train, and is surprising a family today with news of a Beagle Puppy who is being held just for them here with us at sunshine acres !
.................................................................................................. Sunday: We were Santa's helpers today! Santa gave a letter to two little girls on the Polar Express last night, telling them he had a special workshop in Monroe NC called Sunshine Acres. When they got here for their surprise, they were so happy about their new puppy, exactly what they had asked Santa for, saying they were so glad they could keep him, and that it feels like a dream. Merry Early Christmas! :)
Thank
you so much for coming to see me at the North Pole on the Polar Express.
I love seeing all the boys and girls at Christmastime.
I have a special workshop in Monroe, NC called Sunshine Acres, and
the head elf, Miss Christina, will have a special gift for your family.
Make sure you are on your best behavior when you get there and listen
to the rules the elves tell you.
Saturday: It was an Exciting Day here at Sunshine Acres !! A family who knows a friend with a Sunshine Beagle came to meet available puppies and choose one to join their family !
Lacy's Lemon boy "Laddy" got to go home with them, after having had tri colored beagles in the past the last one living to be 15 years old , this time they picked out a light buff / Lemon beagle to be a companion to their rescue dog who paced , around their big yard looking for their dog, and missed having their beagle now that he is gone. They thought having a new youngster would make not only their daughters happy this Christmas but their rescued dog wouldnt be lonely now too !!
"Theo" was also adopted by a family from Blacksburg who drove down to meet our available babies and see who Dad wanted for his christmas gift to himself !!! He loved the khaki color and tiny size and off they went with their new house dog. they have two big labs that are outside and wanted a indoor companion to enjoy this winter that would be happy and content inside with the gang ! our rehoming beagles got to meet a potential adoptive family from Asheville who had come to meet several dogs at shelters , and had one last place near us to check out. They told us they would be in touch when they had a chance to finish their search and think through the choices . Both Bo and Daisy enjoyed meeting their kids and were very friendly and happy to see kids again !! ( see them on our retire/rescue/rehome pages ahead .) Bo was later chosen by the family who came back to take him home to enjoy! they said of all the dogs they met he was the nicest !
folks with Boys often tend to choose boy dogs since they love being more active and playing fetch and fun stuff boys enjoy !! Daisy found a home with an elderly man who needed a friend to keep him from being lonely too .................................................................................................... Friday: We are excited that today Christi comes back to help us prepare for a big weekend of meeting with folks !  ( National AKC Agility CHAMPION, Sunshine Acres "Blade" and his little sister Raven .) As many of you know we have lots on our "plates" right now and hopefully on Christmas too, since we are substitute Elves here working hard with Santa to fill his many requests from Good little children out there wanting a Beagle Puppy for Christmas !!! As you can imagine its much too cold in the North
Pole for him to raise baby beagles this time of year so for over 20 years
our home has been a little santa workshop this time of year helping him find
perfect puppies for those who most deserve one . We help him and in return
sometimes the kids and I get a coke and a plate of homemade cookies bonus
from a generous family who appreciates us stepping in to fill his orders :)
!! Lacy's Lemon/ Buff colored boys are available and have some newer pictures now on her section in younger litters !
Lacy's Silver and Tri boys have been spoken for ! the tri boy is a surprise from Santa for some very special girls , they are going up to Bryson City to meet Santa on the
Santa Express train Sunday and then coming here to pick up their puppy !
shhh...!! we like to see puppies go home before all the rush of xmastime like this so their new families have a chance to spend time with them before all the opening other gifts and events going on !! we still have 3 lemon boys in that litter available to new inquiries who show they have a wonderful derserving home for a Sunshine Beagle Baby! ask for info on adopting and provide your family details to be considered for your own bundle of joy this holiday season !!
( now adopted Lemon beagle Puppy by Lacy) Sunny's last puppy in the litter went home with his new mom Nancy to live in Garner NC. near Raleigh. She had hoped to find a gentle natured tri colored boy to keep her company , do some traveling with her , and give her some company on a new walking program she hoped to start !
we do still have a few of the older puppies available to folks like Nancy who arent looking to adopt right at xmas and are ready now ! Off they head to start a friendship to last a lifetime !
Thanks for your patience with us our Big computers monitor was on the fritz for a few days ! And Christi and Jake are up at his moms house for some R n R after working hard around here while Miss c was in fla the past few months. Right now its christina and son cody doing everything ,so we appreciate gentle reminders from folks ... lots of things going on right now preparing for christmas homecomings and meeting with folks this Saturday who have plans to take home their pups and come meet some of the currently ready and available puppies !! We are working on new pictures now of the puppies for Christmas
Brandy still has chocolate pups available for adoptions now. ask for brandys litter in your subject line if you have a good home for one of these sweeties !
Eve's standard Tri girlie
Miss christina wants to send out a big Thank YOU to everyone who sent well wishes and prayed for our family during our recent difficult times. While down in fla after delivering two sunshine beagle pups to their new owners Miss C's Dad whom she was also visiting for her Birthday found out he was diagnosed with Cancer. It was such a blessing that she was already there since the doctors wanted him to come check into the Hospital immediately for treatments. After having a fall her mom was recovering from and learning to walk again , miss C. was able to be there to drive her folks around to Dr. appointments and shopping and so on .
The kids pitched in and took care of things here at sunshine acres with Jakes help and a fellow who had kennel help experience they hired to help out so they could still attend their college classes and keep things going in Miss Christina's absence for the past couple months !
( Cody and Miss C. get in some Christmas shopping in Naples fla. ) Son Cody drove down to pick her up go to some events in Ft. Myers fla like the Worlds Sand scuplting championship on the Beach !!
and spend thanksgiving with his grandparents and they got home after midnight Sat. night ! ..............................................................
thanks also to those of you on the Christmas waiting list for your patience ,now that miss c is home again we plan to do some updates on the website and get the ball rolling on the families in line for xmas timeframes making their choices soon !
(Lizzys freckled kiddos ) her standard Tri boy is still available If your family is in our line with a deposit down please check in with us and let us know all your favorites it helps us to match up babies as it becomes your turn to choose when we have some idea of who your family is drawn to !! Also if you have become a fan of a different color or size or gender and want to add those options to your preferences we love hearing about it !! Please just email and tell us the date(s) youd like to bring a puppy home , and any favorites you have that would match up !!
We will begin announcing who is up to pick a pup soon so keep watching for your name for your family's preferences in the Its your Turn section !!
Some lines are shorter than others and will be easy for the person with that preference to make their choice . For example the lines are longer for tri colored males, and females, especially standard sized , so anyone looking to add a chocolate or other rare color option to consider pups that match other preferences like size or gender will have a puppy offered to them matching their request sooner since some of those lines are shorter and we have more than enough to go to the few in those lines. ............................................
We currently have several adult beagles available, check out our link to our available adults, our rehoming beagles, and rescue beagles. ( Christi found a beagle tri colored male after Fourth of July, on the side of the road we are hoping to find a good Home for currently too ! ) with Our families love of the Breed we rescue occassionaly too !

Christina and Kids, Sarah has made it home to Chattanooga! Of course she has won the hearts of all who meet her. She is such a good girl and we could not be more proud of her. The first night was a little rough but since that night she has slept all night which allowed Daddy and Mommy to catch up on some lost sleep. She is using potty paper and also does very well at going potty outside under the Ornamental Maple Tree (her personal pick). She has foregone the lovely bed that I had gotten for her and prefers to sleep in her toy basket among her stuffed friends. As you can see in one of the photos she also has found a mirror friend…she just can’t figure out where the puppy is. Thank you again for your patience with me and Bill (mainly me). If I could have taken all the pups I would have but, we are thrilled with our little girl. It was hard leaving her today but since Mom and Dad are there to babysit I feel better…they are enamored with their grand-dog-baby! Donna Rogers 
Sophie has littermates available!

We can collect them and send in a lot of lbs and as breeders exchange them for coupons which help the kids and I afford to buy the many bags of food we go thru here a week tending to all the doggies puppies and rescued beagles we care for daily !! Often folks remember us and send along their Iams /Eukanuba upcs or Purina weight symbols from food they fed their sunshine beagle over the year and send a picture with them at x-mastime so we can add it to our card/picture wreath please save yours for us too, if we forgot to ask when you adopted your puppy or retired doggie ! thanks guys ! it really helps us do what you enjoy watching us do !! Saturday : we met again with mr. Griffin from Columbia SC. who had stoped by on his way to his mothers home here in Monroe during the week to place a deposit on his orange and white boy by Maple. He was heading home and picked up his new buddy to take home and begin a new friendship ! Being retired he has time to enjoy walks with his little guy and even promissed to bring him back to us to watch for him when he and his wife travel ! We love getting to see our babies as they grow up with families. Boarding for our customers means we get to.. and the kids and I love that !!

Birthday girl !
her new mom brought us lots of baby blankets her daughter had outgrown now and collected newspapers to use with our many litters we work to paper train here ! Iams puppy biscuits are so appreciated too since we use them daily to lure pups to come... entice dogs to get in their crates, and feed new moms who arent much interested in eating... just tending to their newbies ...but they do like the puppy biscuits for some reason and that helps us keep them eating and producing nutricious milk for the little darlins we are raising up for families to love on like we do !

Josie was adopted by her new parents who fell in love with her online and asked to come right out to add her to their home! They had been admiring Lulu like many folks, and noticed she had then been adopted. When they saw Josie's new pictures go on the website, they immediately contacted us and let us know all about themselves in order to pre-qualify to adopt her or their own! Thanks guys for the Iams Biscuits and toys for the pups!
Braxton was adopted along with Darla's silver runt! Their new owners had lost their beloved Hunter, a tricolor beagle who lived up to his name, they told us they were happy to find out about our homebody beagle lines, and flew out from Miami and met with us and adopted their pair! They loved both so much they couldnt choose between them, and decided this way they could keep each other company and enjoy growing up together.
Tilley went home with her new family from Sarasota FL who were on the waiting list for their own sunshine acres beagle! Their family travels and does an acrobatic act together, at fairs and events, they happened to be up in North Carolina and asked to come out and see their favorite Tilley! They loved her in person just as much and took her home to the Gulf coast! they brought biscuits and a toy for she and her littermate to play with so her familiar scent was on it and left one to keep the last pup of the litter company till someone adopts her too ! thats so thoughtful !
Mandi found her forever home ! Her new parents had emailed asking to meet some of the older available puppies, telling us about their sweet beagle who needed a friend! Their dog was very gentle and calm, and being more on the shy side than usual, Mandi also a subordinate personality, was just the right fit and found a new friend and family to love!
Roger & Dave, roommates from Greenville SC, adopted Darla's Tricolor boy "Jasko" ! Roger had emailed us saying he was smitten with Darlas tri boy and wanted to hold him off the market till he closed on his home purchase and got moved in in a week or so.. we were happy to do that with his deposit , and once settled in the guys came to take him home !
"Hey guys, this is dave sending off a quick email about how our
little Jasko is doing in his new family. Roger & I welcomed the new
guy into our family two thursday ago!
Overall he has been aclimating well to our house! Sleeping on us,
on the sofa, on the floor, and in his bed. Pretty much if he can
get there - he will sleep! We are excited about him not being
concerned at all with the cats - although sometimes he does want to
play with them. They all tend to keep their distance and we haven't
had to worry about them co-existing as much as we feared!
The first night home was a great success! He slept all night and got
up with us."
We wish to thank everyone for not flooding us with emails during the Huricane ... while we love knowing everyone is thinking of us out there and praying we are all safe here ... this time our computer had gone out and we werent able to announce things were fine like we normally would try to do so folks minds are at ease . Its awesome to now be able to open pages of the website that used to freeze up and or tell us to contact the author before publishing changes... ( we are the author it was so agrivating...) argh poor Christi would spend litterally hours on placement of new pictures in each section only to be stoped when she was ready to add them all to the site by publishing at times.. and often it wouldnt save and she would loose all the hours of work! We are so happy to say its up and working now and we are fixing a few missing things like our calendar and a few programs we have to reinstall ... but at least the sites working and letting us move forward
Our main computer we do the web updates on with pictures has been in the shop for a few weeks, we're excited to say we've got it back now and we'll be adding new pictures Wednesday: Roger and his roomate came out to welcome home their newest addition- Darla's tricolor boy with a big blaze! Amber was claimed by the Alicia Wimbley from the waiting list! "Lulu", Ava aka "Aurora", Bebop, and Betsy have all been adopted by
their forever homes! Lulu's new mom, and her daughter who had contacted us by emails for her mother came to pick her out and take her home to enjoy !
..................................................................................
Our Tricolor momma Bonnie just retired and went home with a family referred to us by Betsy Reese-Helms, mom of one of our sunshine beagles "Irma" whom we've had the pleasure of boarding several times! The family also adopted Bonnie's two daughters! now each of Lisa's daughters has their own :) lots of folks say getting two is the only way to go and just this weekend a young couple came back to get their second to entertain their Sunshine Beagle Boy when they are busy or off at work during the day the boys can play in their backyard together now .. they confirmed what we say.. having two at the same time is easier .. they said i wish we had gotten both at the same time !! ( read all about it ahead on our get two page!) We were so happy to see Bonnie and her last two puppies stay together! When we first heard from her new family they were missing their previous two beagle sisters they had lost , and thought they would like to get an adult female then maybe get a pup later on to join them... we told them we hadnt even had a chance to add our lovable Bonnie to the retire page as yet.. but would hold off till the Camp they were working at in the mountains here in NC. was finished and they could come meet her and possibly adopt bonnie and a daughter... well both pups were just so darn cute ... they couldnt leave one behind and decided to keep the little darlins all together with their mom in the new family ! On their way home to Florida they were able to swing by and adopt all three girls ! our thanks to Betsy for telling them all about sunshine acres beagles and her doggie Irma for impressing them too !! LOL , here she is below on some of her visits here when we watched her for Betsy !
Jake & Christi were recently on a trip to the Smoky Mountains with Jake's mom & stepdad!
The Beautiful hidden river haven that Christ & Jake found alongside the biking trail
Biking on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Trails!
Jake's mom and christi and jake at Deep Creek !
We dont often get to take vacations at the same time in our family since there is much to look after here, so we often take turns... Miss Christina and son Cody had gone to the Beach to bring Maple back to her owners after her visit to breed one of our males in June... so this time it was christi and jake who got a nice get away to the Mountains of NC. ( we suggest this as an idea to other families looking for one last summer fun experience with the kids... we share info with everyone on where to go in our state on our travel page ahead... this will definately have to be added as a great trip destination ..) we've had folks come to our state and enjoy it , then head to our home to pick up their puppy and head home with a new adopted baby beagle from Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppies... sounds like a neat idea to us , spend the night at the Beach or Mountains in NC. and arrive here after lunchtime on their way back home ! Our weekend was fantastic !!! Rose's tri boy Milo aka "Tyson" went home with the Braun family who drove out from CT!
Rose's Shiloh aka "Mickey" went home to the Birthday boy!! Brandon's Grandparents who are raising him got on our waiting list for an August homecoming for their grandsons big day it all worked out great and he was able to pick out his own puppy and take him home to enjoy for summertime !!
the timing was right and they were nearby visiting friends and noticed we were meeting with new inquires this past weekend so they asked to be approved and come right out to find their perfect pal to start their little family with !!
Missy's mini boy now known as "Bolt" went to return customers the Wilson's who came back for their second sunshine beagle . Their son had gone to Washington State to Camp and was home now and ready to get their little guy to join in some family time summer fun!
so they were finished with other summer activities and ready to enjoy some Puppy Love time before school starts up again !! ................................................................. " Mater" one of our baby beagles whom we shipped home to his Canadian family last year came out to board with us while his family travels in the US.
They brought a T-shirt , hat, and Syrup from Canada for son Cody who is interested in Canada! His favorite video game Mass Effect is made up there by Bio Ware and they shared some info with him about how it is to live and work in Canada !! She also told us 2 friends of theirs have beagles from Canada and when she met them she said Mater is soo handsome... I knew folks always tell me he is a good looking beagle... but those dogs were .. well ugly !! compared to our Sunshine Beagle boy LOL !! ha we got a good laugh about that
Mater hangs out with Cody to watch some tube they told us he doesnt sleep in his crate much ... mostly in the kids beds LOL !! Thursday : Dixie is here to board with us while her parents travel ! here she plays with her own toys in our living room while we work on the website updates! Sunny's Litter arrived !! she had 2 Tri colored standard size pups a boy and girl, and one orange and white girllie who looks like her mommie ! It's been Christmas before last since she's been a mom so we are thrilled to have one last litter by our favorite Greeter...before we retire her to a great pet home.. Sunny has been out front on our Invisible Fence system to show folks how well it works for our Beagles, lots of folks have enjoyed meeting this super friendly gal !! look for her on our retire page in a few months if your looking to adopt an adult who is house, crate, and kids bed trained as well as Invisible fence trained by the Pros who installed and trained our beagles here at our home so folks can meet them out front and see some of the various beautiful colored beagles we have here as Sunshine Acres as they drive up to our home and get out of their cars she was a great dog whom everyone adores !
The Braun family sent their care package ahead of their visit to pick up Rose's puppy Milo, and for his family here at sunshine acres to enjoy! liver treats for mommy, Iams biscuits, and toys for all the puppies to play with, as well as a Panera Bread gift card for his human family! ( Miss C. and kids) Thanks so much to the Braun family for your thoughtfulness and care!
Maple a first time mom had 8 beautiful babies and is doing a great job as a mother we are so proud and happy for her !
Maple was a natural she delivered her beautiful Beagle Puppies wonderfully ! we will be inviting Maples owner Nicole and her mom Sunshine beagle retired mom owner & a second addition of a pup later...Yolanda our dearest friend out to meet their grandbeagles soon..,Their eyes are just beginning to open for the first time and we try to wait to snap pics a few days so as to not surprise their new peepers before they get a chance to learn to trust us (here they are before their eyes opened.. it takes 2 weeks till they open up !) . Yolanda sent along the sheet above, for us to use here.. they no longer had a bed its size, knowing how we appreciate them here with our moms and babies sleeping and nesting on them in their whelping area while the little darlins nurse and keep warm with momie close..
( we love getting sheets donated folks kids have outgrown too hint hint.. being torn is ok too, since some moms tear up a sheet the day they deliver.. so we keep some of those on hand for that day of nesting when they are about to have their little ones )
What a beautiful bunch of babes !!
Maples litter is arriving !!! Yippie we are so excited as each one appears ..
Thanks to everyone for their continued patience with hearing back from us. Christi and Jake went on their Vacation to the Mountains of North Carolina they are Tubing and riding bikes downhill , having a well deserved Break before College Classes start up for Fall Semester ! Cody is here helping Miss Christina keep things going for all the doggies and pups, next week we hope to have Daughter Christi back at the computer adding new Pictures to the site we plan to take of various litters so folks can adopt the new fury child they hope for this summer break ! Getting a puppy now and having a chance to train it before Chilly weather is a perfect timeframe to adopt , ask for your favorite puppies in your subject line to get our attention as we get caught up again on emails and updates to the site ! We are going to pick up Maple !! , (she's the daughter of Ruth our dear friend Yolanda adopted from us a few years back.. after having adopted our sweet retired mom Sally Wally , ( their story is ahead on the rescued/retired beagles page) she wanted one of the pups miss C. planned on keeping (Ruth), so we all agreed she would someday return to have a litter for us.. we kept out (Ruthie) her baby from that litter, and Yolanda's daughter got (Maple), and agreed to the same thing some day ... well some day is here ! ) she's due soon and big as can be according to her owners who agreed to let us breed her to one of our boys in the future to have babies for us and others to enjoy from that bloodline ! Nicole wrote that she and boyfriend Daniel think there are 5 or 6 pups in that big tummy we cant wait to see um arrive here in our birthing room in the next few days !! these will be Sept ./ Fall Puppies /and lines are already starting in some preferences for that timeframe !
lots of folks love to take a nice walk with a pup during the coming months and have it all trained up by the time cooler weather arrives ! ....................................... Next weekend we will be once again meeting with folks here so if you have a current favorite puppy you'd like to come out and meet please ask for an appt for sat. in your subject line so we go to your email... ! First we will meet with a Grandmom and Grandad who are on the waiting list for an August Puppy for their Grandson's Birthday ! afterwards - we plan to have an open house so folks not yet on the waiting list can claim available beagle pups who dont have a current waiting line for their preference...( color gender, or size etc.) send us your Home and Family details so you can be preapproved to adopt one too, and ask for your appt.! Saturday: we met with the Klingles to send off our baby Jingo , the khaki runtsized girlie by Jessie they were on our waiting list for and claimed .. then drove down to pick up from their home in Penn.
they had mailed us a Puppy Care package ahead of time so their new puppy would have a toy to bring home with them she was familiar with and had played with her littermates here with so it had their scent on it too ! Dear here is their update since arriving back home with their new baby!:
Dear Miss C,
( here's her gang ! ) Jessie has a tiny khaki mini boy available as well as a standard sized chocolate boy ready to adopt , (boy in back of pic) we are smitten with the chocolate girlie and are keeping her to make us more like her when she's all grown up !! Cody loves the fatties like her he calls them fluffy puppies ! Jingo is a more petite build and just what her new owners wanted more slim legs and smaller paws etc. They've recently sent us a great update about how things are going with their darling puppy , after waiting for 6mo. to find just the one it sounds like they are in Puppy Love and things are going great for them up in PA. We have lots of folks drive down to us from there.. as well as Virginia, since its such a nice drive down here ..they tell us its well worth it to come to us for a loving family member to enjoy !
Dear Ms. C and Christi,
We have meant to write to
you much earlier and apologize for our late update of "Lotus":...
Our precious baby's new name is Bella :) she is the most adorable
thing ever... We have a hard time walking her, because she is like a
magnet, attracting every single person on the streets :) she is so
clever and learning incredibly quick! We feel her trust and love
every time she stares at us through her beautiful eyes... She LOVES
sleeping on our laps and runs around like a little rabbit when she
wakes up :) We are sending you a few pictures of her.
Thanks a million for this
precious princess!
We hope all is well with
you! We will be in touch and send you other photos of our little
baby :)
Sincerely,
Zeynep & Fatih

We received an update from the Golds on Sasha aka Piper by Bonnet!
"Hi
Miss Christina and kids,
We have
had Piper for a little over a month now and things have been going
great. We love her so much! It is interesting that so many people
have commented that she acts nothing like the typical beagle. She
doesn't chase and howl at everything that comes into the yard. She
is so sweet, and very playful. We are still trying to get her to
walk nicely on a leash, as she would rather stay at home and play in
the yard. On one walk however, we ran into Nala by pure
coincidence. It was neat to meet another one of your Sunshine
Acres babies!
Piper likes her training classes and has made a good friend, a huge
Doberman named Jackson! They are so cute together.
We
decided to have an Invisible Fence installed. We told them that you
had referred us, so please let us know if they forget to contact
you. Piper is doing very well in her fence training. We have only
had it a couple of weeks and she is already able to go outside on
her own. But it is way more fun for the girls to go outside to play
ball with her.
I also
wanted to touch base with you regarding our vacation to West
Virginia. We would
love it if you could board her while we are away. I mentioned it to
you when we picked her up in May, but I wanted to make sure the
dates still work for you.
I have
attached a few pictures. As you can see from one, she had her spay
surgery and it went well. You can also see that we have spoiled her
with her personalized things!
Thanks
again for allowing us to bring Piper into our home. Our family is
truly complete.
Take
care,
Mandy,
Stephen, Jacqueline, Eva and Piper "
she recently got to come back for a visit /boarding week while her family went on a vacation... she was right at home and had a great time with her old buddy Maverick who is still here lookin for a great home to join himself !!
here she is when she came back to stay with us .. her family is just crazy about how fun this girlie is !!
We received an update from Candace Jimmy and Maggie Mae in Las Vegas!
Hi All!!
Just a note to tell you how
much in love we are with Maggie Mae! She is doing great - she is
sooooo smart, a luv bug, gorgeous and the sweetest!!! Her daddy
adores her!!!!!
Ms. C and Christy~
Quote me on this:
Oh My Gosh! We couldn't have
been matched any better with our new wonderful little girl, Maggie
Mae! Our 4 month Khaki Mini girl was the perfect match for Jimmy and
I. It was a bit unnerving adopting a puppy sight unseen and from
photos on a website. But knowing Ms. C and Christy read about our
family in our letter for consideration, we place our trust in their
knowledge of their babies and matching us up and boy, did they do
well!!! Not only is Maggie adorable, but she is a smart cookie too!
She entertains us all day until we are laughing in stitches, cuddles
with us at night until it's lights out and crate time and is
excelling in her positive reinforcement training sessions. I hope
you both know how happy this family is with our new addition and we
look forward to sharing her growing years with you!
Love 'n Licks!
Jimmy & Candace Maddin
We received an update from Lindsey on Babette's tricolor mini girl Lily!~
Penny

Melchers from the waiting list!
They brought a box of Iams Puppy Biscuits and a toy that sister Cupcake will enjoy!! Thanks so much to the Melchers! Chocolate Cupcake is now available to new inquiries as that waiting list has been satisfied!
SilverBell's Tate went home with Ed & Jillison from Savannah Ga. who were on our waiting list, Their older dog had just passed and they missed having fury company in their home .
Tate on the right and his siblings mini khaki ( available) Aurora on the left and runtsize silver (adopted) Ranger in the middle!
There is no waiting list for this timeframe for these preferences silver runtsize male and female and khaki mini female!
Ashley went home with the Pope family who had written asking specifically to adopt Ashley! They came right over the weekend and she was definately the one!
They have already written to let us know she is settling in nicely!
"It couldn't have been
better! The only time she cried at all was when we had put her in
her kennel and then she heard me feed the cats. She thought she was
missing out! She quickly settled down, though, and didn't make a
peep the rest of the night.
I'll send a photo of her
getting used to her new home.
We love her so very much.
Thank you for all that you do.
Jane

"Miss Christina and kids,
M"Friday:
we met with "Gina's" new family who took her home to Maggie Valley !
" She was a perfect angel on the way home. She sat in our laps and took 2 naps in her bed. She played with the toys we brought with us. When we got home she met Reggie and she just laid down and rolled over - Reg sniffed her all over and they were fine. The cats are a bit afraid of her but they will get used to her. We put her in the bathroom after we played and took her for a walk. She howled for about 5 minutes and then went into her bed which we put in her crate and went to sleep. When she wakes up we will take her out again. She is an absolute sweetheart and we love her. Thank you for taking such good care of her. We will send pictures in a few weeks. Susan" Saturday: "Lotus" found her forever home last weekend with a couple from DC. who drove down to meet her and they fell in love with their new little silver nano girlie !
Sunday: Lizzy's tri colored girl " Piper" was also chosen by a family on our waiting list for a June timeframe the kids loved her and off they went to enjoy having a new playmate to enjoy before school starts up again !
............................................................... If your family is on our waiting list check in with us to let us know if there have been any changes or updates to your preferences.. sometimes someone adds a new color option they would like to be offered matches in and we have more pups sooner who would fit their families timeframe or gender preferences ! (those just beginning to follow our website are welcome to ask about currently available puppies who are ready to adopt since they likely dont have a match amoung our waitling list folks and are looking for a family to love and bond with now ! ) " Rose" a tri first time mom has had her litter of tri colored standardsized pups. ( her litter is now on the younger litters section) www.sunshinebeaglepups.com/currentrose.htm Jingle also a first time mom had her litter of rare colored pups www.sunshinebeaglepups.com/currentjinglebell.htm and Missy a mini tri mom had her litter of tri ,silvers and a chocolate in mini and runtsizes so we will soon be taking their pictures and letting our waiting line folks make choices on who they want to claim !!! There are older available puppies ready for adoptions for this timeframe for new inquires who are ready to adopt a puppy now . Sandys little khaki mini girlie "Sierra" aka "Maggie Mae" went home with her new mom last week,
Christi and Jake met Candace at the airport with her new baby and after a nice little visit she hoped back on a plane home with her new cutie to go meet the rest of the family! we got her update email the next day letting us know all was going great ! ......................................... Christina, Christi and Jake ~
We both arrived in Las
Vegas, an hour late, but with no issues whatsoever! She was an
absolute doll and never let out a peep! Once we arrived back at
the home, it was late, but Tiffany Jimmy and I sat up while she
entertained us for several hours. She then went right in her crate
next to our bed and slept the whole night. The names we had were
to keep her' Sierra' or change it to Maggie Mae. We were waiting
to meet her and then decide. Well, she is definitely our Maggie
Mae! I wish you could have seen the joy on Jimmy's and Tiffany's
faces!!! I personally, haven't wiped the smile off my face yet! I
hope you all know how much we look forward to a lifetime with
her filled with much joy, spoiling and companionship! Jimmy and I
have played with her all morning now, she went down for a nice
nap, we played some more and is now doing quiet time in a
restricted area right next to me while I type. What a delight she
is!!!!
We will stay in touch as
promised! We go introduce her to Dr. Yach this afternoon - the whole
office is excited to meet her!
With much love & licks!
Candace, Jimmy and
Maggie!
Corduroy goes to our Vet's Office for his Health Cert. to fly out of state !
one last walk for mini khaki Corderoy before he goes
in to Delta Dash to fly to
Delta's cargo office at Charlotte Douglas International Bye Bye Baby we will miss you !! Miss C. wishes to thank everyone for their continued patience with us right now.. as some of you have heard her back went out and the kids are taking care of things as best they can with so much going on we are behind on sitting down to write all the e-mails to the many folks who are hoping to hear back !! hang in there and resend yours if its gotten missed we try to go back and check for those but occassionaly the first ones we see get their answers and then something draws us away like watching over the newborns which is our priority above all else and those who are understanding of that are the folks we enjoy having lasting relationships with as they adopt our little babies and take over that special care for us and their new family member ! Friday: Dee Dee has had her litter , and today Brandy had hers... these litters will be our mid July homecoming pups !!! We also met with a couple from the Mountains of NC. who had claimed Babette''s orange and white runtsized girlie " Jodi" online this week to take her home to meet their Beagle Bailey who is missing her friend Smore their first beagle they lost in Jan. as it turned out they realized Jodi was born when they lost their beloved Smore so it was a neat thing to realize she would be here now to comfort them all .
Sunday: We met with the Evans who were adopting Spots girls Ellie aka now Olivia,
they brought us a box of Iams Biscuits ... we surely appreciated that.. we go thru a lot a day here with training pups , and for the moms who are nursing a new litter and so on. Thanks so much guys !!
........................................................... and "Cleo" went home to Georgia near
Atlanta with the Tinsley family
.................................................................... and a referred family the Gold's from Charlotte who learned about us from some of our customers who convinced them our beagles are different than most :) ! The parents had secretly come out to visit us and meet some available Tri colored girls in advance and placed their deposit for us to hold sweet little Sasha for their daughters Birthday surprise ! They brought Grandmom and Granddad from Penn. along to be in on it... and told everyone they were taking them to a Bar B Que !! as they got close to our house they let the cat out of the bag and everyone in the car had a big Cry of joy !! their girls had been asking for a puppy for a long long time and till that moment they had heard no we arent getting a dog... sweetie Sasha played with her buddy Pierre who awaits his adoptive family's arrival next week... and a toy her folks left for her to play with here and have to bring home to help the transition to their home...
then lay down for a nap to wait on her future family to arrive ... when they came to the door... she met them as if she knew this time its for ME !!
The girls were so excited to meet their new little friend Daddy got a Big Hug for this wonderful Surprise... at last their very own Puppy !!!!
the Gold's brought AMC Gift cards , and the Grand Parents brought um some Kettlecorn to enjoy too ! to thank the kids for their help working to crate train her for them and help out with her daily care here till they came to adopt her !!
Another perfect match !!
" Hi Miss C,
Friday: Wet weather again today, we have a sudden surprise thunder and lightening and downpour, the kids ran to collect up the puppies that were just minutes before enjoying some nice sunny playtime.
( Claimed) Tri boy Pierre plays with Sasha on left, and tiny 17 week old Midge the Nano Khaki girlie between them... Nano silver Lotus is behind, (claimed) Tri runtsized Sasha who goes home on Sunday to surprise a charlotte families kids for Memorial weekend ! Its gonna be Memorable... this year , thats for sure !
Pierre's Tri colored sister Ellie hangs out on miss
C's lap after getting doused with the sudden rain shower !
The big crack of Thunder scared her to pieces right above our heads ! where did this come from so quickly??? Awwe Hail No , now its Hailing too... crazy weather !!
Peaches had her litter her pups will be ready to come home around the Fourth of July Holiday !! Buster joined his new family in Mooresville NC!
Here he checks out his new home, and then follows his new friend over to see her build blocks in the children's room, wagging his tail! We plan on meeting with a few families on sunday before Memorial Day to let Ellies new parents come out to welcome her home , and Sasha's new family surprises the kids and comes to get her too ! Ask for an appt if you have a favorite you'd like to come out and meet to adopt . Our family has cookout plans on Monday so we wont be meeting with folks on the Holiday this year. Jessie's rare color litter is here now !! Thursday: we took Cameron to the vets office today to get his paperwork done to fly out of state to his new home and family the Van de Kops in Dallas Texas on Friday !
Everything went well and he is good to go !
Buster runtsized older pup just claimed... hangs out on the Deck with Darby by Carmen before he heads home to his new family in Mooresville ! They loved the fact that he was an older pup and calm around their toddlers. After coming out to meet us and some younger possible matches they placed a deposit to hold him and go home to ready things for his arrival... since daughter Christi and Jake intoduced us to his new family a preacher from Jakes moms town whom they had become friends with... they were able to take Buster home with them after spending the weekend here helping us out and meet with his new family to help him adjust to the transition to their home ! Sometimes folks see the wisdom in chooseing an older pup simply because they have had all the shots ih the series of 4 done already and then only need their Rabies shot done to complete their vet shots , this can save a busy household time going to the vets office !
Christi and Jake had decided to donate their drum set to the new Ministry and had it all ready to take home when the young family came out for a visit... We hope everyone had a special Mother's Day !
Right now we are watching little Hattie by Spot , ( "Spot's " Hattie hangs out with one of her sibblings "Pierre" this evening the two of them play with a rope bone sent along for the gang from the Overcash family below..)
( Tri colored Pierre is now claimed by waiting list family for this timeframe) and Callie an adult female who comes to stay with us while her family travels .. this time they were off to Washington again .We love getting to see our Beagles as they grow up and their new families let us care for them and see um again ! Thanks to the Overcash Family who sent along a box with things for us to use around Sunshine Acres , and a Sea Shell toy for their new puppy Sandals sister who is still here with us to play with ...
her name is "Sea Shell so they sent her a plastic sqeaky toy Starfish !
here are their two Sunshine Beagles fast asleep on the couch together like Peas in a Pod.
Hello Miss C and kiddos
" Silver Belle" had her first litter by c-section and had 3 khaki and 3 silvers the mini khaki girlie has been spoken for by the Payton Family who drove down to meet with us on Friday from Danville PA. to see how their son reacted to our less shedding rare colored babies since he has some alergies to certain dogs... we got a thumbs up and no puffy eyes after their handling Silver Bell's newbies ! They had written asking to come for a visit some time ago ,and asked for a puppy to match their June Timeframe , these matched wonderfullly ! Wed: "Ruthies"standard sized Litter was born
! there are 2 Bernie the "Ty" Beanie Baby look alikes ! both are boys we havent had many of these lately they are sooo cute !
The mommie Ruthie was born to one of the Sunshine Beagles our dear friend Yolanda got from us after adopting Sally a retiring adult she came back to get Ruth one we had thought of keeping ourselves for breeding .. she agreed to let us have a litter by her in the future.. and out of it we got Ruthie to continue this line in our breeding program . Yolandas daughter got one of the chocolate girls from ruths litter too .. her mom just sent us this email to promote her interior designer daughters site so we wanted to pass it along to our many followers nationwide in hopes of helping too !!
we love Networking with our friends and helping spread the word about them just as they do about us out there !! ................................... this afternoon we met with an approved family who had asked to see "Tootsie" , they have a small jack russel terrier and were looking to replace their previous hunting bred beagle male with a more laid back housedog personality ... she was responsive to them and would sit rather than jumping up on them , and showed she wasnt the alpha dominant personality their "Dottie" didnt care for in their past beagle...
so off they went with our Retired fixed sweetie to give her a wonderful happy home we were hoping to find for our girl ! Tues: Christi and Jake ran to the vet for Health
Certifications on "Butterscotch" and "Sandals" then stoped by Petsmart to pick up crates to ship the girls home in
then on to Charlotte Douglas international airport Delta Petsafe so they could fly home to Texas . Butterscotch went to join her new mom in Galviston
and "Sandals" to Covington .

Sandys tini mini baby and her new daddy met with christi and jake near the fountain at the airport terminal to take home on the plane to Colorado to join his family there ! .................................................................................... Miss Christina stayed home to watch over the
expectant moms " Silver Bell" awaits her litters arrival in our home whelping room .
and meet with boarding folks droping off 2 of Allies last litter of chocolate sibbling youngsters for us to watch while the family heads to the Carolina Mountains and see Chimney Rock , and Lake Lure !
(Lots of our customers tell us they are glad their beagle babies get to come home and stay with us here when they travel ! )
" Chase" makes himself right at home here ....! here he plays with Grace in front, her son Little Man II. to his left, and Sweetie on our deck !

Josh and Mercedes came back and picked up their sunshine beagles! They added Starlet's silver boy to their pack after boarding their orange first sunshine beagle!
and Babettes tri mini girlie went with her new mom from Greenbay who had given us a deposit to hold her till they flew home ! Wow what a weekend we had here!!! First we met with a young couple going on a Surprise Wedding Aniversary trip to Savanah Georgia to enjoy a dinner boat cruise on the River ... Josh took Mercedes to celebrate and we watched their puppy for them while they traveled for Easter weekend ! He had already written saying he liked the idea of getting a second Sunshine Beagle Puppy to join their family to entertain and be a playmate for Bailey to enjoy as well as her daughter who had flown to Hawaii to spend the Holiday with her dad there. They met Starlette's silver boy and while away Josh convinced her !
It was a full house on Saturday ! folks flew in from De Pere WI.
and Eden Praire MN. We are so appreciative of Joan and her daughter who brought us a very generous Petsmart Gift Card of $100. to help us raise our baby beagles here for all to enjoy ! They were on the waiting list for a tri or orange runtsize girlie and picked Sweeties adorable Sweet Pea to join their family and took her home onboard the airplane !
Tiane and her son drove up from Atlanta Ga.& picked up little silver mini Remington , we had to tease his new mom about the size of the harness collar she brought for him... being a tiny mini puppy now at 12 weeks old ... it would be a long time... if ever that he would fit into that size !! LOL !
Saphire's Wylie got chosen to go to Jackson MI.
and Jasmines Tri colored sibbling pair went home to Hickory NC.
Its "Good Friday "
and all the little Sunshine Beagles want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter !!
Is the "Easter Beagle " Coming to your house ???
Miss Christina wants to Thank the many followers and folks who have one or more of our Sunshine Beagles who have emailed us this week to be sure we are ok after the 90 Tornados came thru North Carolina.... one lady said you should post it on your Announcements that you guys are fine so everyone knows ... Well we are !! We did loose one big tree that nearly missed our old Mercedes parked out off the driveway .. thankgoodness it didnt hit the garage either it came down and half of it went in front of the car and the other half went a different direction and missed the garage... wheew we were pretty Blessed it fell just like it did ! Again we so appreciate everyones concern ... it really shows us how many folks are thinking of the kids and I and all the beagles and baby beagles here we care for around Sunshine Acres !!
Saturday: Bianca found her forever home with the Ector family & the Smiths from Charlotte adopted Deann !
last Friday... Mia flew home to Texas, and Fudge flew home to the O'Sullivan family in California to join their new adoptive homes !!
Cody and Miss C. took them to get their Health
Certifications done today at our Vets office
Dr. Katie Barnes gives the 3 a big thumbs up , and a clean bill of health to fly !
Friday morning we head to Delta Pets First , and Continental PetSafe.. at Charlotte Douglas International Airport ! Christi is coming along too so we can take her out to
( A cup of Honey Almond mocha coffee...um ! ) Celebrate her Big 21 st. Birthday !!!
Back at home this evening Fudge lays on Miss C.'s lap one last time... as she works on the website ...he says ok mom you can take me off now... Im goin home !! Tues: Last night we thought a litter was on the way... Miss c. stayed up to watch over them... at last ...today we had 3 chocolate girls and 3 chocolate boys delivered... all the newbies are doing good and mom is eating again ... already... so we have high hopes this litter will be a great success !! Miss C. says thanks to those of you waiting on a response to your emails.. we are a bit tied up at the moment... we hope everyone understands !!
we have already heard from them now.. and things are going great.. the pups slept on the flight home and havent had any accidents in their home they are in " Puppy Love : they report ... we love it ! Saturday: A couple from SanFrancisco Alex St John and Janine Shaw came flew out to welcome home their very own khaki nano additions!
They were referred to us by Karen Richardson who had also flown out from California a year ago to first meet us and place a deposit to get on the waiting list for her own khaki nano sunshine beagle after meeting one of ours in San Francisco, then she flew back out adopt her very own "Pixi" by sandy, and take her back on board the plane to meet hubby Jon Rubenstein and become their spoiled lil Diva! Her story and pictures are on the about sunshine acres page and Sandy's page. After meeting Pixi and getting such a glowing referral about our companion beagles, Alex and Janine flew out to welcome home two older puppies we had which worked for them and their busy schedules since they were past all the vetwork required with a new young puppy, and had begun sleeping together in a crate at night here. Miss C and Christi appreciate all those other folks who were patient about us getting back to them about Coral & Docker's availability. We had a good feeling that they had already found their perfect match and Alex & Janine's visit confirmed it as they fell in love in person as well as online and took them to surprise their teenagers at home!
We're never in a hurry to place them, we want them to find the right home and will wait for the perfect match for each individual baby we handraise, and of course while they're here we get to enjoy them ourselves! Friday: Maisys orange boy went home today with a lady from Asheville who came to meet the doggies ... she looked at some retiring dogs and a rescue.. and decided on an older puppy so she could bond with him and have many happy years ahead with her new best friend.. she has some rescued hounds but wanted a sunshine beagle since our dogs are selectively bred for companion qualities .. rather than hunting abilities.. and wanted a lap dog, not one interested in tracking animals like other lines of beagles often are ! she picked our sweetheart "Dustin" and we think he will fit the bill perfectly he loves hugging your neck and laying on your lap cuddling ! She also hoped he would like to play with her other outdoor doggies and he was good at playing with toys and other dogs already sociallized here with our dogs and puppies !
Saturday: we met with several families and "Butterfly" by Athena, "Emmy" by Sugar, and "Morgan" by Maisy all found their new homes and families !!
weve already gotten a great report on Emmy in her new home on 300 acres !
She is doing great! She slept
in the bed with Holly and me....didn't have one problem! I will send
pictures soon! We have a calico cat that stays outside and Betsy (Her
name) thought she was her sister. We are going to PetsMart today,
what is something I should buy her....toy or rawhide?
Sue
&Glenn adopted Maisy's tricolor female "Morgan"
The Schillings family adopted Athena's Butterfly aka "Tulip"!
after emailing to say we love Butterfly !! see our other available currently ready to adopt puppies below ! Clover's babies went home last Saturday!
Clover's mom Bleu had agreed to let Clover come back and have a litter for us when she adopted her, Clover came back to be bred, then went home and came back once she was nearing her due date and had 4 chocolate babies! We are keeping the chocolate girl :) Bleu adopted one of the sons, and her mom adopted another son, and while Bleu was here to pick up their babies, the Hines arrived to adopt Clover's remaining son and they were all able to meet!
We are keeping Clover's chocolate peppermint "Patty"! First time mom "Brownie" had her litter of Tri-colored and chocolate puppies ! we will add pics soon of the cuties who will be ready for Easter homecomings !! ask for info to get in line for a Easter Beagle if youd like to join our waiting list for your own !
last weekend bonnies orange girl went home to join her new family who told us they already had a orange and white cat who matched her LOL !!
Eddie B. aka now Bentley went home with the Love famil and his brother Trevor !
Ada G. took her chocolate mini girl by Sienna home to Miami as a friend for their current tri colored beagle !
The Krouses have already sent us this ADORABLE
picture of Bosco aka Mousse there in their home playing with the
rawhide bone Miss Christina gave them the day they took him home! It
was part of the care package that Moli Mango's parents Will & Paisley
sent us in celebration of her first birthday in their family!! We so
appreciate it when folks show their generousity and continued devotion
to helping the kids and I in our mission to raise little family
members for other folks to enjoy!. We thought this idea of sending
party favors to share with other pups was so cute and we know Bosco
appreciated it! Often folks send us Greenies or toys to share with
other puppies we are hand raising here, and we've found that these
particular small bone shaped rawhide treats are a favorite with the
puppies! Wow... what a big day we had Saturday !! 6 puppies found great new homes! The Glass family from Pumpkin Center NC came and decided to get a sibbling pair by Bonnie to join their family ! Folks have been contacting us asking to adopt puppies we think this early springlike weather is giving folks puppy fever and we are.. as one family told us pretty much one of the few beagle breeders who have pups ready during this timeframe ! ( due to the fact ours are family raised housepet variety)
The Lowmans
from Morganton NC wanted another beagle after loosing theirs... this
time one who wouldnt
run off to hunt ...
fhey decided on Athena's tri girlie and said she can come to work with Dad each day at the fishery ! Most beaglers in our area don't raise their pups indoors to be housepets like we do , so they wait for warm weather to raise their litters for rabbit hunting .. choose the ones they want and then sell off the rest to be hunting dogs or pets... ?? "Andy" stole the hearts of his new family the Lipe's from Concord NC. he was just the right fit !
Mineral Springs NC firefighter Josh surprises his wife with a new baby to love !! He told us they had a beagle in the past and loved the breed... they have a bigger dog who is His.. and he wanted to surprise her with a puppy of her own to cuddle with !
" chocolate Mousse" found his new family ! they were already smitten with him online and came to meet him and take him home ! Starlet had her litter of Silvers, and a new light color... Buff and white !! too cute... uh oh.. Miss C is already falling for one of the girls ... she loves all versions of beagles and these are super rare... we warn ya ... they are like Lays Potatoe chips... LOL !! once you try um ... you just cant stop you want more ,more ,more !! Friday:
we met with the Mitchells who were on our waiting list for a Sunshine Beagle... when their older dog passed on, they let us know recently that they were ready now and axious to come up from Athens GA. to meet with us ! when they met little Sugar a runtsized chocolate recent mom.. they wanted her... then asked to meet our older mini orange and white boy "Tiger" and loved his sweetheart personality, he rolled right over for a belly rub and hugged his new mom as if to say Ive been waiting for you to come along and love on me ! Saturday: a young couple from Ft. Lauderdale Florida came up to pick up their silver sweetie by Darla to start their little family! Clover's chocolate cuties are starting to open their eyes so we will be snapping pics of those cuties to add to the site once everyone has a chance to adjust to the light... we dont like to use a flash the first few days or so when they have just opened their eyes till they are adjusted to seeing the world ... so their first impressions are all good... !!
sweet little mini chocolate mom tootsie who lost her litter in emergency c-section took over for first time mom Clover who didnt have milk.. she loves the babes as if they were her own ! see their page link below . We hope everyone had a great Valentines Day !! Clover's litter arrived Superbowl Sunday- it was Puppy Bowl Sunday for us! Tootsie's litter also started arriving in the middle of the night, and then she delivered by c-section, sadly they didnt make it, but Tootsie does have milk thankfully, and happily took over for Clover who's milk did not let down. Tootsie has had a couple litters for us in the past, so she knew just what to do and was anxious to help with the babies ! We went ahead and had her fixed, and will be retiring her once she weans the babies. If you are interested in a mini chocolate adult female, you can let us know and we'll review your family and home for sweet little Tootsie! www.sunshinebeaglepups.com/currentclover.htm (the link above takes you to her page ! )
Clover and her boy at their home .. Clover's owner brought her mom up from Jacksonville Fla. to pick out the babies they want out of her litter and take her home to be a housepet again... we had made an agreement when she was adopted to breed her in order to get a puppy from Clovers moms line of beagles ... Tracy her mom has been retired and found a great pet home to go to.. . so we are happy to have a little baby girl by clover to keep her bloodline in our breeding program . Thanks so much to Paisley & Will for the wonderful update on Moli Mango in honor of her 1st birthday, pictures, and care package of Iams Puppy Biscuits and our favorite bone shaped Dentley's rawhide mini chew chips!
"FYI
"If you go here
Pixi has turned one year old! She is an 11 lb khaki nano female who joined Karen Richardson and Jon Rubenstein in CA!
My BLOG today:
The Vincent family adopted Trina's chocolate standard boy!
This weekend we met with two repeat customer familes getting a second retiring mom each... Nick who adopted our "Precious" got Nano "Saphire" for his mom's birthday gift... and Myrtle Beach residents the Rini family who had adopted our "Baby Girl" came to get their second retiring mom "Carla" after having asked for Dibs on her a while back... she just raised her last litter for us and we were happy to make their wish come true to add her to their family too ! We've already gotten a great update from them saying she is doing great with both Baby girl and their kitties... amazing both moms had never met a cat yet are happy to sleep with them all on the same big bed with their new parents !
"Finely" came to board with us recently while Kristen ran a Marathon down in Florida, we loved seeing him again and she said she felt so comforted knowing he was here safe and sound in his first home while she traveled !
standard sized male tri color " Finely "sits next to our runt of a standard litter khaki colored "Grace", our borading doggies have fun in our home with us while their families travel... lots of our customers tell us its a big reason they decided to adopt from the kids and I since they can travel over the years and feel good about leaving their loved one with the first family they knew here !
The Natales told us that their trainer at Petsmart Obedience courses asked where Cooper came from- he was so impressed in fact he said he had never met a beagle before that was as smart!
Wed: christi and Jake took the last puppy from Eve's litter "Jingle" , ( headed to New Jersey, to the Kressler family )
and Sugar's Tri boy "Jasper" to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport today to fly home to Washington DC. ! and this eve Miss Christina met with Nicole on her way back home from visiting relatives for the Holidays and she picked up her chocolate boy by Sugar ! We shipped puppies home to their new awaiting families via Delta Petsfirst and Continental PetSafe last week!! Jenny's Silver girl flew home to NV, Trina's tri mini girlie flew home to MO, Brandy's Chocolate girl flew home to CO, and Eve's tri runt girl Santa picked out flew to meet her family from Nova Scotia ! We love working for Santa each year
he lets the kids and I hand raise puppies for very
special children across the world he thinks deserve a wonderful new
family companion ...
of course its too cold for him up in the North Pole to raise tiny baby beagles so we are his elves down here in North Carolina..he puts in the order and we do our best to fill it the the perfect pet for their home !
we wish their new families a wonderful holiday season with their new little Sunshine beagles ! Weather permiting Dec. 29th or so, we plan to go back to the airport to send home more holiday babies ... its not too late to find a great match and have your own come into your life toooooo !! OUR WAITING LIST IS MOVING RIGHT ALONG NOW AND WE WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL PUPPIES AVAILABLE TO NEW INQUIRES FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON... IF YOUR FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT A PUPPY JUST LET US KNOW THE DETAILS WE ASK TO REVIEW ABOUT YOUR HOME AND FAMILY AND WE CAN START THE BALL ROLLING QUALIFYING YOU TO TAKE A TURN TO CHOOSE FROM THE CHRISTMAS LITTERS TOO !!
Miss Christina and kids want to say Thankyou to some of our expectant parents ... Addie who came to visit today and meet the puppies for New Years Timeframe brought with her some Yummy Treats with Turkey and Salmon and lots of healthy things for the mommies caring for the little ones to enjoy and benefit from...
we think this is so sweet that she thought of all the mom's and even brought a bag of wee wee pads to share with folks traveling here from far off states to pick up their baby beagles to have in the car... we love to help make that day go as well as possible and often offer those for use in the car on the road home or greenies to entertain the new pup on the trip so having folks donate these things shows they are going to be wonderful nurturing new parents to our babies and makes us happy to share our darlins with them , just as they have shared with us !
( Addie shares some treats with Maisy) who is helping raise DeeDee's one little girlie she picked to come home in the New Year Time Frame, Dee Dee had only one baby and had milk for a week or so ... but with only one nursing its common for the lack of demand to make the mom have less and less supply so we are letting big old sweetie Maisy nurse her little pup for Dee Dee who comes in to visit now and then but allows Maisy to tend to her for the most part ! we are so lucky to have loving moms who adore puppies so much they will help raise other moms if needed like this ! We also got a email from waiting list member- now up to choose Angula who knows someone with one of our puppies .. she gave us the heads up to be expecting a nice big 40lb Bag of Iams puppy food to arrive soon to help raise the babies on !! Wow ! its such a help to have folks this generous to us and our doggies we love you guys !! We wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving Holiday with their families ! Break out the Coffee !! Yes the good stuff.... like the little Kona bag of Haole Boy Coffee that frequent boarding family of Coco brought us as a souvenier when they vacationed in Hawaii !! we stashed it away for a special time... like this ! Miss Christina has been staying up watching over the pups... Monday Brandys litter arrived, Sat. night Maisy's , and Sunday morning Sugars is now here too !! Yippie we are so excited to see all these adorable faces and know that our waiting list folks who are hoping Santa will bring a baby beagle will have their dream come true !!! Its not too late we have more than enough for our line ... ask to join for your very own Holiday cutie!
Carmens gang is here ! Our Christmas
Litters are starting to arrive!!
Gorgeous Orange and white mommy Carmen came back to deliver her litter for us, as agreed when she was adopted by repeat customers Robert and Elizabeth Sawyer who had adopted her older brother, and wanted a playmate to entertain him!
Carmen had her litter ! She has 2 Tricolor Boys, 1 Tricolor Girl, 2 Orange Boys, and 2 Orange Girls!
and now Eve is in labor having her jet black tricolor runt & mini litter!!!
The first puppy care package has arrived!! "Thanks Mom!"
New mom Sarah Mosonyi from Chester NH has sent her puppy care package for her growing baby Lily to enjoy with her littermates before coming into her new home with her own toys! She also showed her eagerness to help us properly raise her little baby by including a nice box of Iams Puppy Biscuits for mommy Belle who eagerly gobbles them down and converts them to wonderful nutritious momma's milk for little Lily to grow on at this stage! Sunday: last weekend there was an Airshow at the Monroe Executive Airport !!!!
We plan to go see the Warriors and War Birds fighting it out over our skys here in Monroe NC . Yesterday when frequent Sunshine Beagle Lucy one of Bonnies girls was droped off Miss Christina was talking to her dad Josh S. who is a Commercial airline Pilot about going up in a small plane with the piolot who flew our puppy Bubbles by Embers home to fla. and how nice that airport was & son Cody now wants to learn to fly ! When miss c. mentioned that we plan to attend the airshow here Josh's eyes lit up and he said oh..... that explains it... He had seen saturdays jet planes fighting it out on
his way to our home and wondered what in the world was going on
overhead... Christi said people were running out of their apartments at Nottingham Apts where Jake lives in monroe, looking up at the sky as flames were coming out of planes overhead .. and then Jakes dad called to say he had seen it and they found out it was an airshow going on ... for a minute we bet lots of local families thought of a SCI-fi for Real !! LOL !! Friday : Lizzy's silver runtsized girlie is Flying Home to Key West Florida today! her new family has a fishing charter boat and says she will get to go boating with them !
also Shelly's two khaki cuties are flying home to California together to join a family from Bonsal Ca.

Courier Trip to Florida !
Miss Christina has just flown home from spending a week with her parents in Naples fla. courtesy of the Destefano family who said it was actually less expensive to have their puppy delivered in person flying onboard the plane than shipped!
Having chosen their khaki mini boy online at a young age they got to take advantage of the airlines' low fares of booking 2 weeks in advance. It all worked out beautifully since the Lipsky family decided to adopt his tri colored runtsized sis also, and lived in Delray Beach fla! The littermates got to keep one another
company on the trip and snoozed the whole flight !
The Lipskys paid the courier fee and purchased the crate bed and toy the pups had onboard the plane.
They drove over sat. am to pick her up from Miss C's folks' home in south florida !
their update : Everything was perfect. Daisy aka Kindle was perfect on the way home and our other dogs are all getting along just fine. Thank you for sharing one of your little babies with us. She is adorable and we will give her lots of love and attention. We will send you pictures in the future. It was a pleasure to meet u in person and your parents are lovely people. Thanks To top it all off, it was great timing for the khaki boy to be a surprise birthday gift; Miss C. and her dad got to both celebrate their October birthdays as well !
Sunday Oct. 24th: After pulling an all nighter with Belle's litter of 6 tiny babes arriving here in our whelping room... she needed help having the last one so Christi got up to join Miss C and cody who were tending to the birthing since she went into labor around 2:45 that afternoon...and drove Miss C. to Cabbarus Emergency clinic 2 hours away... our vets werent reachable at 1:30 am this time..so we loaded her up and took her where our vet tech friend Terri works to have an emergency C-section to save Belle's life..sadly that last pups sack had broken and it didnt make it but our dear Belle is fine, and back home as we pulled in around 10 am...this morning... what a night ! and christi got ready to drive Starlet's last 2 silver boys to the airport to fly home to Orlando ! Miss C. is tending to belle's babies and giving her some of the remaining Iams biscuits donated to us by Meso's new mom Mrs. Shoemake who flew in a few weeks ago to take him home to be a storm chaser with she and her hubby, and their other beagle "Chase" ! we cant tell folks how much that means to us when someone thinks to bring those or newspapers to help us paper train the little guys we hand raise here !
(waiting for her litter to arrive look at that big tummy!) Mom's often wont eat when they first have a litter ... but if we cook chicken as miss c. had for her.. or have the puppy biscuits.. they will eat those,
and keep their strength up and make the wonderful rich milk needed to get our darlins off to a good healthy start... ............................................... I know we say it alot, but we so appreciate those of you who help us in our mission ..to bring housepet beagles into the world for all our happy families who get involved and help us to do it for them to enjoy their very own special little Sunshine Beagle baby for many years to come and keep a good ongoing friendship with the kids and I, as the years go by when our baby ,becomes adopted ,and becomes their baby!the special family member puppies, as well as the extended family we get from it, is why we do all that we do and its so worth it when folks let us know its appreciated sending us pictures and emails to add to the website over the years to come ! waiting list member Sarah M. your little tri mini girlie arrived .. we think your gonna love this cutie wootie !
Around Sunshine Acres!
Marley had two tricolor Girls earlier in the week! Christi met with the Curry family from Lakeland Fl, while Miss C was gone, and adopted their daughter's new college study buddy to keep her company up in Gainesville!
"Scarlet" aka Shyla was adopted by Chelsea! her parents have written with an update!
Christina and Christi,
Mike and I are back in Lakeland,
Fl as of 6
p.m., we had a awful time leaving Gainesville, besides saying
bye to our daughter we had to say bye to the new member of our
family Scarlet(aka Shyla). Chelsea has loved movie Gone
with the Wind for
years and has watched it several times, along with the sequel
"Scarlet". The puppy is adorable and we all already fell in love
with her. We spent Sunday
night in Savannah
and had even more time to get attached to Scarlet ourselves. Mike is
so happy Chelsea said she would come home this weekend and study,
so we can see Scarlet.
We really appreciate and
thank you sincerely for letting us come up this weekend, besides
Chelsea's exam studying, I forgot to realize at the time my son had
a high school baseball tournament this coming weekend, which would
have made it really hard to come up this coming weekend.
We would have liked had a
chance to meet you, Christina as well. Your daughter and son were
very polite and your daughter was very helpful with us and made it
easier for Chelsea to decide on one of the puppies, it was hard for
us to leave the other 3 puppies behind, but hope you find them a
wonderful home soon.
Take Care and we will keep
you updated with Scarlet.
Thank you again,
Mike and Laura Curry
Mickey was adopted by Mia Barr and her son from
Charlotte NC!
birthday suprise for mom's bday on the 31st ~!
" Hey Christina,
Thanks you for our new
family member! Mom has decided to call him Mickey. He had a GREAT
first night. Mickey did not cry at all. We gave him three toys and
he picked up each one and carried them into his crate!! He goes in
all by himself whenever he is tired. He met two dogs today and he
played and played. My sisters dog tolerated Mickey but I know they
will become friends soon. Thanks again, and I know we will see you
within the year.
The Tohers "
Every year around this time folks tell us finding a beagle puppy gets harder and harder since most local breeders are hunting enthusiasts and their dogs are kenneled outdoors in cages raising puppies isnt easy in the colder weather and litters can be lost due to freezes here at night. our waiting lines grow for winter pups since ours are raised inside where its nice and warm and our whelping areas are heated above with heat lamps and below with plastic heating pads made to keep the newborns a constant temperature when its so crucial to life !
here a Sunshine Beagle mom is raising her litter in our home office whelping room with the best treats and food right at hand to keep her producing good nutrition for her little ones to grow up strong and healthy and make the best possible new family members we can here! Martini was adopted today by the Chewnings from Roanoke VA!
Tootsie's Tri mini girl and boy were also adopted Sat. by a family who came up from Georgia to get her... and decided on a sibbling pair once they met him ! Allie had her rare colored litter of 8 beautiful chocolate babies !
they are doing great she is an awesome mom and we love her so much ! Boxes from the claimed puppies' families are starting to arrive for the cute puppies and their sweet mommies to enjoy ! we love seeing how involved folks already are in the raising of their little ones, and really appreciate those who help us in our efforts to give the younsters and their moms treats , and petsmart gift cards etc. so we can nourish their growing new family member with the all the best!
thanks to those who send us their Puppy's Care Package ahead of time so pup and littermates can enjoy treats and toys and beds and blankets here before their new family member heads home with them so they have a familiar toy and blanket etc once they are in a new place If you spot an available puppy below in the lineup of currently avail. ones youd like to come out to meet and adopt let us hear from you with a subject line that says Ready to Adopt .................... so we go right to your email and get an appt time set up to come out to Monroe. Please include your home and family details we like to review for approvals so we can give your potential home a thumbs up and get the ball rolling to let you bring home your very own Sunshine Acres Beagle puppy. Many of the currently available babies have had ALL their shots in the series and wormings done for you already saving a considerable amount of time and money for you and some are old enough to skip to crate training now making things go faster towards having your new buddy housebroken before cooler weather sets in , and the two of you can enjoy nice evenings together by the fireplace or on the couch watching tv this Fall and Winter ! |
