Kauaʻi Humane Society A
Lihue, HI
4.7★ (190 reviews)
1 organization in Lihue that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Lihue is the hub of Kauaʻi, Hawaii's northernmost and most rural island, and rescue coverage here is minimal — just one organization, the Kauaʻi Humane Society, which serves the whole island. The good news is that it's well-run and easy to navigate online, and hounds do arrive regularly enough that patience pays off. Because you're on an island and the nearest mainland-style options are a ferry plus a drive away, building a direct relationship with Kauaʻi Humane is your most practical path. This page lists that single local group and then points toward the other Hawaiian islands in case your search needs to expand.
On Kauaʻi, there's really one place to start: Kauaʻi Humane Society. Call them to ask about current availability, introduce yourself as someone hoping for a beagle or hound-mix, and ask to be contacted when one arrives — most island rescues will do this willingly. If you're willing to travel off-island, the shelters on Oʻahu (Waipahu, Kapolei, and Ewa Beach are all on this list) offer more volume, though you'll need to arrange transport. A beagle adopted from Kauaʻi gets to live on one of the world's most beautiful islands, surrounded by green cliffs and the sound of the ocean — that alone makes the wait worth it.
