2 organizations in Evanston that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Evanston's two organizations—the Evanston Animal Shelter and Tails Together Co.—give you a solid local base to start from, and both maintain clean, accessible websites that make it easy to see what's available. In a north-shore suburb of 77,000, beagles turn up regularly, so checking in with these two groups should be your first move. If neither has a hound on hand, you're surrounded by close options: Skokie sits just two miles away with its own pair of shelters, and a handful of other communities ring the area within a short drive. Call ahead to confirm a beagle is actually there, then pick up the phone and start your search.

Evanston's location is a real advantage—you're never far from a beagle or hound-mix if you're willing to look. After calling the local two, extend your reach to Skokie if nothing's biting, or any of the other nearby suburbs within 15 minutes. Joining a waitlist at the Evanston Animal Shelter or Tails Together Co. is smart insurance; ask them to call you the moment a beagle arrives. Adopt rather than buy, and you'll bring home a dog already spayed or neutered, vetted, and past the guessing game of a puppy. The right beagle is close by—just waiting for your call.
