She's adorable. She's got a terrific expression.
I can see where they might consider terrier to be part of her makeup. Does she have some of that terrier guard hair maybe along the saddle on her back? If there's any hint of wiry hair, they assume terrier. But definitely she looks more beagle than terrier to me.
My first dog ever was a cocker-terrier mix. We picked her out of a litter of puppies who varied widely in looks, but she looked pure spaniel and acted pure spaniel. The sweetest dog in the world. At the time I had a real phobia about dogs, because of a bad experience with my great-aunt's boxer. That tiny puppy sat quietly on the end of a lead for hours as I slowly approached her, reached out a hand, and ran screaming away. She had the patience of a saint. She dug like a terrier though. :)
The important thing is if she fits your life and your home. I think well of her adoption agency that they're giving you a trial period with her. Match is sooo important.
