2 organizations in
Minnetonka that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Minnetonka sits in the heart of Minneapolis-St. Paul's rescue network, and two strong organizations serve the immediate area: Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest (RAGOM), a breed-focused rescue with an exceptionally clean, searchable website, and The Bond Between, a general adoption group with deep roots in the Twin Cities. With a population just over 53,000, Minnetonka itself is modest, but you're steps away from some of Minnesota's busiest adoption hubs. This page covers both local groups and points you toward the larger metro when it's time to expand. Start by calling ahead to confirm what's available right now — beagle inventory shifts week to week.
An all-volunteer, foster-based 501(c)(3) rescue across Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota dedicated to Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes. Dogs live in foster homes until adoption, and the group works closely with fosters to match each dog to the right family—some adoptions carry specific requirements, like needing another confident dog in the home. It's breed-specific, so if you want a Golden, this is a targeted first call in the upper Midwest.
Based in Minnetonka, The Bond Between (formerly Secondhand Hounds) has rescued over 30,000 dogs and cats since 2009 through foster homes and volunteers. It's an all-breed rescue that adopts out dogs and cats and runs foster, volunteer, and community-support programs including a respite foster-care option for pets whose owners face temporary hardship. Beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly in its available dogs.
In the Twin Cities, beagle options multiply quickly once you're ready to look beyond your immediate neighborhood. If Minnetonka's two groups don't have a match this week, Edina and Minneapolis are both just minutes away with several more rescues to try. Call ahead to any shelter and ask when the next hound is expected, or request to be added to a waitlist so you hear about arrivals early. Adopt one of Minnesota's beagles instead of buying, and you bring home a dog that's already learned to trust again — and give a rescue the resources to save the next one waiting in kennel.
