Beagle rescues & shelters in Urbandale, IA

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

Urbandale is a growing suburb just northwest of Des Moines, and its three listed organizations—Canine Craze Performance Center, Puppy Jake Foundation, and Stylin Paws Play Place—form a solid local starting point. All three have polished websites that make it easy to see what's available and apply online. That said, Urbandale itself is a smaller piece of a much larger metro: Des Moines proper has 26 organizations, and West Des Moines another 20, all within a short drive. If you don't find a beagle here, expanding outward takes seconds. Start local, then widen your net—the odds of a hound nearby are genuinely good.

Because you're in the Des Moines orbit, a single afternoon of calls can cover Urbandale plus a cluster of nearby towns. Check availability at the three local groups first, then don't hesitate to reach out to West Des Moines and Des Moines proper if the pickins run thin—both are minutes away and carry far more inventory. Call ahead to confirm a beagle is actually there before you visit. A hound in the Des Moines metro is waiting for someone to show up and bring it home, and that someone might as well be you.
