Paterson that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call

Paterson's three rescue options reflect what you'll find in most urban New Jersey: a mix of municipal animal control and smaller independent shelters. Paterson Animal Control heads the list and has a straightforward adoption process. The other two groups—D and G pups and Louise Fava Animal Shelter—work with limited resources but steady commitment. In a city of nearly 160,000, beagles and hound-mixes arrive regularly enough that patience usually pays off. Call ahead to see what's available, and don't hesitate to ask about waitlists; these groups will tell you honestly when a hound is on the way.
