1 organization in
Westville that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Westville is a small Indiana town with one rescue listed here: Giant Paw Prints Rescue, which runs a clean, easy-to-navigate website and takes in hounds regularly. In a town of under 6,000 people, beagle availability can be spotty, so patience and a willingness to check nearby towns make a real difference. The good news is you're surrounded by options — Valparaiso and Chesterton are just minutes away, and a short drive opens up five more towns with their own shelters. This page starts local, then points you outward to where the beagle traffic is heavier.
An all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2012 serving the Westville, Indiana area. Giant Paw Prints Rescue pulls dogs from shelters and the streets, provides medical care (vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchipping, heartworm prevention), and places them from foster homes. Adoption applications are required, and adopters must live within an hour of Westville with vaccinated, spayed/neutered resident pets.
Start by calling Giant Paw Prints Rescue and asking them to put you on a waitlist, then widen your net to Valparaiso or Chesterton, both nine miles away, where you'll find more organizations and better odds of meeting a hound in person. Confirm a beagle is actually there before you drive out. The towns around Westville form a tight rescue cluster, so a few quick phone calls can save you weeks of waiting. Adopt one of Northern Indiana's hounds and you'll drive home with a dog that's grateful for the search, ready to make those long ears part of your life.
