Nashville, IL

Washington County Animal Control in Nashville, Illinois is the municipal animal-control agency serving the county. As an open-admission facility it takes in strays and surrendered dogs of all kinds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly. Call ahead to confirm what's currently available for adoption and how the process works.

Because Nashville sits in a cluster of small towns, each with at least one rescue or shelter, you can cover the whole region without much travel. Call Washington County Animal Control first and ask to join their waitlist, then pick one or two of the nearest towns — Centralia or Breese — to contact as well. Confirm a beagle is actually there before you drive out. Adopting from a rural Illinois shelter means giving a overlooked hound a real home, and the dog you bring back to Nashville will know the difference between a cage and a couch.
