1 organization in Ottawa that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Ottawa is a small Kansas town with one foot in the broader adoption network around it. Prairie Paws Animal Shelter is your local option—a general shelter that takes in hounds and keeps a reasonably navigable website. Because a single shelter serving a town of just over 12,000 means beagles won't always be on the floor, patience and a willingness to look nearby work in your favor. This page lists Prairie Paws and then points you toward a ring of towns within 30 minutes, where you'll find more shelters and better odds of catching a beagle or hound-mix when one arrives.
Ottawa, KS
A private 501(c)(3) animal shelter with three locations across central Kansas (Ottawa, Manhattan, and Emporia) that shelters roughly 2,500 animals yearly and places them through adoption. Beyond adoptions, it offers low-cost spay/neuter, microchipping, and owner-relinquishment services. Founded in 1946, Prairie Paws takes in dogs and cats of all breeds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly across its facilities.

No organizations match that grade.
Start by calling Prairie Paws directly and asking them to flag you when a beagle comes in—a waitlist does most of the work for you. If nothing's available locally right now, Lawrence is just 25 minutes away with two more shelters, or Olathe with its own options another few miles past that. Confirm a dog is actually there before you drive out. Adopting one of Ottawa's hounds sends a rescuer home with you and keeps room in the shelter for the next intake. The right beagle may take a patient search, but it's worth every call.
