No organizations match that grade.
Start by calling Pike County Animal Shelter directly and ask to be placed on a waitlist for beagles or hound-mixes—that's often how adoption works in small towns. If nothing emerges locally, Quincy has four organizations about 40 minutes away and is worth a serious look. Always confirm a dog is actually available before you make the drive out. Adopting a beagle from a rural Illinois shelter means giving a dog a genuine home and helping a stretched shelter make room for the next arrival. The right hound is out there; sometimes finding it just takes a few phone calls and a little time.
