Beagle rescues & shelters in Burlington, IA

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

Burlington sits in southeast Iowa on the Mississippi River, and the two organizations listed here — Des Moines County Humane Society and Burlington Animal Control Center — handle adoptions for the area. It's a small-town setup, which means beagles arrive sporadically rather than constantly, and patience helps. The good news is that you're not isolated: this page covers what's in Burlington proper, then opens a wider view to the neighboring river towns where more shelters mean steadier options. A phone call to each local group, asking to join a waitlist, is the smart first move.
