Beagle rescues & shelters in Arlington Heights, IL

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

Arlington Heights sits in the thick of Chicago's northern suburbs, and you've got six local options to start with—two of them, Kay's Animal Shelter and The Buddy Foundation, have solid websites that make browsing and applying straightforward. The rest are a mix of smaller rescues and veterinary clinics that take in hounds, so you'll want to call ahead to learn what's actually available. This is beagle-friendly territory, but availability shifts fast, so don't expect to find the same dog twice. Start with the groups nearest you, confirm a hound is there, and be ready to move.
