2 organizations in Lewiston that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Lewiston's two listed organizations—the Humane Society and Idaho Animal Rescue Network—both maintain solid, easy-to-use websites where you can browse available dogs and submit applications online. In a city of about 34,000, beagle turnover is steady but not constant, so checking in regularly and calling ahead matter. This page covers both local groups; because they're your closest options, start here and build a relationship with whoever answers the phone. If nothing is waiting right now, a waitlist gets your name in the queue for the next hound that arrives.
Lewiston, ID
Lewis Clark Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter in Lewiston, Idaho (serving Lewiston, Clarkston, and surrounding areas) that has been rehoming dogs, cats, and small animals for decades. It's a nonprofit that adopts out all-breed dogs alongside foster, volunteer, and donation programs. Beagles and hound-mixes come through regularly at this open-admission facility, making it a solid place to check even though it isn't breed-specific.
Lewiston, ID
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue founded in 2019 and based in Lewiston, Idaho, operating statewide. IARN works with law enforcement on animal-cruelty investigations and major medical cases, placing rescued animals in foster homes while providing veterinary care and community outreach including a pet pantry and spay/neuter clinics. It's an all-breed rescue focused broadly on animals in need rather than beagles specifically, but worth contacting if you're in Idaho and open to any rescue dog.
No organizations match that grade.
Neither Lewiston shelter will always have a beagle on the floor, so don't hesitate to call both and ask to be added to their contact lists. If local options run dry, Moscow is a short drive away with another rescue worth checking. Confirm a dog is available before you make any trip into the Idaho backcountry. Adopt from one of Lewiston's shelters and you'll bring home a beagle that beat the odds—and gain a loyal nose for all the hiking trails the Clearwater Valley can offer.
