2 organizations in Bangor that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Bangor's beagle options come down to two: the Bangor Humane Society, which has a clean and searchable website, and Bangor Animal Control. In a city this size, beagles don't arrive on any predictable schedule, so the real strategy isn't picking between these two — it's contacting both and asking to be told when the next hound shows up. The Penobscot River Valley doesn't have a huge rescue network, but it's not isolated either. This page covers Bangor itself, then maps out the smaller towns within driving distance where you might find more options if time and patience allow.

Bangor, ME
The municipal animal-control shelter for Bangor, Maine. As an open-admission facility it takes in strays and owner surrenders of every breed, so beagles and hound-mixes come through regularly. Its listing lacks detail here, so call ahead to confirm what's currently available for adoption and how the process works.

No organizations match that grade.
Because Bangor's two local organizations have limited turnover, start by calling both and joining their waitlists — that's your strongest move. If nothing appears locally within a few weeks, the drive to Bucksport, Belfast, or Waterville opens up the map considerably; each has its own shelter, and sometimes a wider search is faster than waiting. Confirm a beagle is actually available before you travel, and consider that the dog you're after might be one town over rather than downtown. Adopt a hound from coastal Maine and you'll have a faithful nose to take with you on every pine-shaded walk the state offers.
