Beagle rescues & shelters in Santa Monica, CA

8 organizations in Santa Monica that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.

Santa Monica's eight organizations run the full spectrum — from the sleek City of Santa Monica Animal Shelter and its companion foundation at the top end, down to smaller rescues and breed-specific groups with bare-bones websites. Don't let a rough online presence fool you: places like Beagle and Friends and Balanced Dogs exist specifically to place hounds, and a low-grade website often means more money goes to actual dogs. This page pulls together everything in Santa Monica proper, but here's the real advantage: you're five miles from Los Angeles, which alone lists seventeen organizations. Start local, reach out to a few at once, and be ready to expand east into the city if your initial calls come up quiet.

Santa Monica's eight groups are your first call, but living here means you're sitting in one of California's densest adoption networks. If nothing appears locally in the first week, Los Angeles proper is minutes away with nearly twenty more organizations to contact. Call ahead to confirm a beagle is available — availability changes constantly — and ask smaller groups like Beagle and Friends if they have a waitlist. The drive between Santa Monica and LA is easy enough that a hound in either city is practically a hound at home. Make those calls, and you'll bring back a beach-town beagle that deserves exactly this kind of patient, dedicated search.
