1 organization in
Gloucester that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Gloucester sits on Cape Ann's rocky northeastern tip, a fishing town of about 30,000 where Cape Ann Animal Aid serves as the main rescue for the area. It's the only organization listed in the city itself, which means beagles here come and go rather than sitting on an adoption floor waiting — but the surrounding North Shore has plenty of nearby towns, each with its own shelter or rescue group. This page covers Gloucester and then points you toward the wider network, so you're not limited to a single door. Start local, but be ready to look outward.
A no-kill 501(c)(3) shelter in Gloucester, Massachusetts serving Cape Ann and beyond. Founded in 1964, it takes in dogs and cats from owner surrenders and overburdened local shelters, providing medical care in-house, behavioral rehabilitation, and individual attention—walking dogs daily and enriching cats in open areas. Staff and volunteers handle every animal with care, and no adoptable dog or cat is euthanized for age, space, or length of stay.
One organization in Gloucester means the waitlist move pays off: call Cape Ann Animal Aid, introduce yourself as a beagle adopter, and ask them to contact you when one arrives. While you're waiting, explore the North Shore — Marblehead and Danvers are each about fifteen minutes away, and Lynn has two rescues combined. Confirm a dog is actually there before you drive out. Adopting a beagle from Cape Ann's waters-edge shelter is a local tradition worth keeping alive, and a hound from the coast will spend its life chasing scents you never imagined.
