1 organization in Elkins that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.

In a town this size, a beagle won't always be waiting on any given day, so you'll likely need to look a bit wider—and the good news is you're surrounded by options.

Start by calling Ernie Boudreaux's Doggie Dude Ranch and asking to join a waitlist for when the next beagle arrives. If nothing's there today, Fayetteville is a short drive north with substantially more organizations to contact at once. Confirm a dog is available before you make the trip, and don't shy away from covering a few nearby towns—a 15-minute drive to Springdale or Farmington might be exactly what brings you face-to-face with your beagle. Adopt one of the Ozarks' hounds and you gain a dog that was made for these hills and a companion ready to explore every inch of your home.
