Hopkinton itself offers two solid starting points, but the real advantage here is proximity to the Boston suburbs. Call Baypath and Greyhound Friends first, then reach out to the organizations in nearby Dedham if you want more ground to cover — eighteen miles is still a manageable drive. Ask to join a waitlist so you hear about the next hound that arrives. A beagle from one of these rescues will come home to a quiet town where long ears and a strong nose are made for the trails and fields around you.
