Beagle rescues & shelters in Minneapolis, MN

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

Minneapolis has only three listed organizations, which makes the city feel thin until you look at the metro map—St. Paul, Edina, Minnetonka, and several other close suburbs ring the city with another eight rescues and shelters just minutes away. Start here with Minneapolis Animal Care & Control and Northern Lights Greyhound Adoption, both easy to navigate online, then expand outward if you need to. Beagles and beagle-mixes do turn up in this corner of Minnesota, but a phone call beats any website—availability shifts weekly, so confirm before you drive.

It partners with local rescue groups and offers low-cost vaccines and microchipping. As an open-admission city facility, it takes in strays and surrenders of every kind, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly—call or visit to check current availability.

Minneapolis, MN

St. Anthony Mills is listed in the Minneapolis area. Details about what animals it serves and how its adoption or rescue operations work aren't available in this directory entry, so contact the organization directly to ask whether it handles dogs, what beagles or hounds might be available, and what its process is.

The Twin Cities metro is tight enough that you're never far from options, even if Minneapolis itself lists only three groups. Call ahead to see what's available, and if nothing fits this week, Edina and St. Paul are each under ten minutes away and worth a quick call. Ask any shelter to put you on a waitlist for the next hound that arrives; most will. Adopting a beagle from a Minneapolis shelter means a grateful dog heading home and one less animal in the system—a straightforward good trade.
