Beagle rescues & shelters in Cumberland, MD

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

In a town of about 19,000, beagles and hound-mixes cycle through these shelters regularly enough that patience and a couple of phone calls usually pay off. You'll want to call ahead to confirm a beagle is actually there, since what's available changes week to week. Start local first; if nothing fits this week, the surrounding towns aren't far.
