1 organization in
Russell that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Russell is a small town in western Massachusetts, and rescue coverage here is spare — one organization, Hooves Claws & Misfits Rescue, serves the immediate area. In a place with fewer than 600 people, beagles won't turn up every week, so patience and a willingness to look at neighboring towns are essential tools. The good news is you're surrounded by options. This page covers Russell itself, then opens up to the nearby communities where you'll find more shelters and a better chance of meeting a hound.

Hooves - claws & misfits rescue F
Russell, MA
A rescue based in Russell, Massachusetts. The group's name suggests a mixed-animal focus, so contact it directly to confirm whether it takes in dogs, whether beagles or hounds are among them, and how its adoption or foster process works.
Start by calling Hooves Claws & Misfits Rescue and asking to join their waitlist, then cast your net wider to Westfield and Easthampton, both under fifteen minutes away. If you're willing to drive a bit further, Springfield sits eighteen miles south with six organizations — a real shift in selection. Confirm a beagle is actually available before you make the trip. Adopting from a rural Massachusetts shelter gives a dog a genuine home and keeps small rescue operations steady. Somewhere in this quiet corner of the state, a hound is waiting for the right person to show up.
