2 organizations in Oxford that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Oxford has two solid options for adopting a beagle, and both are easy to work with: Oxford Animal Resource Center, which keeps its adoption process streamlined online, and Lafayette County Animal Shelter. For a college town of about 26,000, that's decent coverage, though beagles here come and go rather than sitting on an adoption floor for months. This page covers both local organizations so you know exactly where to start. Reach out to each, ask what's currently available, and be ready to move when a hound appears — they tend not to stay long.

No organizations match that grade.
Because Oxford's options are limited, asking to join a waitlist at both organizations pays off: they'll call you the moment a beagle arrives. If nothing local is available right now, Senatobia is the closest town at thirty miles away, and Tupelo, about an hour north, has more shelters worth checking. Confirm any dog is actually there before you drive out, and consider the short search as part of the adoption journey. Bring a beagle home to Oxford and you'll have a devoted trail companion for all those Delta roads and campus walks.
