Beagle rescues & shelters in Haverhill, MA

2 organizations in Haverhill that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.

Haverhill's two listed organizations are lean but accessible: the city's animal control office has a solid website that makes it relatively easy to check what's available, while the Haverhill Police Department handles animal intake as well. In a mill town of 67,000, beagles and hound-mixes do cycle through, though not in a constant stream — availability is real but sporadic. This page covers your local options and then opens the door to the nearby North Shore communities where you'll find more rescues and shelters within easy reach. Call ahead to confirm a dog is there before you visit, and don't hesitate to ask about waitlists.

A

Haverhill, MA

Haverhill's municipal animal-control service, run by the Police Department with two full-time officers based at 99 Downing Avenue. They handle licensing, leash-law enforcement, cruelty investigations in partnership with the MSPCA, and wildlife calls. As a city shelter it takes in strays and surrenders, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly — call 978-374-2415 to ask what's currently available for adoption.

Haverhill Police Department F

Haverhill, MA

The animal control or shelter service operated by the Haverhill Police Department in Haverhill, Massachusetts. As a municipal facility it takes in strays and surrendered dogs of all kinds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly. Contact the department directly to confirm current adoptable dogs and how the adoption process works.

When Haverhill's two options run quiet, you're minutes away from a significantly larger network. Methuen and Lawrence, both just a few miles north, have additional shelters worth contacting, and the cluster around Amesbury and Ipswich gives you even more ground to cover. Confirm a beagle or hound-mix is available before making any trip, and consider spreading your calls across the whole region at once — that way you'll hear about the next arrival fastest. Adopt one of the North Shore's overlooked hounds and you're bringing home a dog that'll thrive in New England weather and prove that the best beagles are always rescues.
