1 organization in Marion that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Marion has one shelter covering the local area: Meadowlark Shelter, a general animal shelter that takes in hounds regularly. In a town of about 41,000 people, beagles come through intake, but they don't always linger — availability shifts week to week, so calling ahead is essential. The good news is you're surrounded by options. This page covers Marion itself, then points you toward Cedar Rapids just seven miles away, where six organizations significantly expand your reach, plus several other towns within easy driving distance.

No organizations match that grade.
Because Marion itself has limited coverage, your best move is to call Meadowlark Shelter and ask to be contacted when a beagle arrives, then immediately extend your search to Cedar Rapids. Six organizations there mean beagles turn up more often and you'll have real choices. Confirm availability before any drive, and don't overlook closer Springville either — it's only six miles and worth a quick call. Adopting a beagle from an Iowa shelter means giving a hound a genuine home while supporting rescue work in farm country. A few phone calls this week could bring one home by month's end.
