Call Animal Welfare League first and ask to be added to their hound list, but don't stop there. You're minutes away from Orland Park, Tinley Park, and Berwyn, all of which have shelters of their own — working several at once dramatically improves your odds. Always confirm a beagle is actually there before you visit. The suburbs surrounding Chicago Ridge move dogs quickly, so a quick phone call beats a wasted drive. When one finally arrives, you'll have given a discarded hound exactly the stable, quiet home it was built for.
