1 organization in Knoxville that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Knoxville is a small town in Marion County, Iowa, and rescue options here are lean—just one organization, the Marion County Humane Society, serves the immediate area. In a place this size, beagles won't always be waiting on the adoption floor, so patience and a willingness to look outward will serve you better than speed. The good news is that you're surrounded by towns within a reasonable drive, and Des Moines, about half an hour south, has significantly more shelters to browse. This page covers what's in Knoxville itself, then points you toward the neighboring communities where a hound is more likely to turn up.

No organizations match that grade.
Start by calling Marion County Humane Society and ask to join their waitlist for hounds—a friendly conversation now means they'll think of you when a beagle arrives. Don't stop there: Chariton and Oskaloosa are each under twenty-five miles away and worth a call, and Des Moines opens up real options with four organizations to contact. Confirm a dog is actually available before you drive out. Adopting a beagle from a small-town Iowa shelter means giving a surrendered hound a home and keeping rescue work alive in rural country. The search itself is part of the reward.
