White River Humane Society is your first call, but cast a wider net early if you want to improve your odds. Bloomington, just twenty-one miles away, has two organizations worth contacting, and Seymour, about thirty-three miles southeast, adds two more to your list. Call ahead to confirm a beagle or hound-mix is actually available before you drive out, and consider joining a waitlist so you hear about the next arrival. Adopt one of southern Indiana's hounds and you'll bring home a dog that's already grateful to leave the shelter behind.
