3 organizations in
Birmingham that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Birmingham's three listed organizations span the city and nearby suburbs, anchored by the Greater Birmingham Humane Society Animal Control, which carries an A-grade website and steady hound intake. You'll also find Alabama Animal Adoption Society and Homewood Animal Control on this page. In a city this size, beagles and beagle-mixes turn up regularly in shelter intake, though availability shifts week to week. Start by calling the organizations nearest you, and don't hesitate to ask about waitlists or to be contacted when the next hound arrives. A little patience and a few phone calls usually pay off quickly.
The animal-control division of the Greater Birmingham Humane Society, serving Jefferson County and its municipalities since 2015. It responds to loose and stray animals, bites, cruelty reports, and lost-pet inquiries, then holds strays for seven days before transferring unclaimed animals to the GBHS adoption facility. Every intake animal receives vaccinations, flea and tick treatment, and a veterinary assessment, with 24/7 vet coverage available.
An animal adoption shelter in Birmingham that believes all pets deserve a second chance. It operates on Saturdays from noon to 4:30 p.m. at its adoption center, where you can meet available dogs and cats. The group also offers spay/neuter certificates, accepts volunteers, and maintains a daily-updated list of adoptable pets on its website.
The animal-control facility for Homewood, Alabama. As a municipal shelter it takes in strays and owner surrenders of all breeds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly. Its listing lacks further detail, so call ahead to confirm what dogs are currently available for adoption and how the process works.
Because beagle availability in Birmingham changes constantly, calling ahead before you visit saves a trip. If nothing turns up in the city itself, you're surrounded by options — Hoover is just ten miles away with its own shelter, and Vestavia Hills, Bessemer, and Pelham are all within reasonable driving distance. Confirm a dog is actually there before you head out. Adopting a hound from a Birmingham shelter means a second chance for a dog that needs one, and somewhere on this list is a beagle already waiting for the right person to call.
