Beagle rescues & shelters in Las Cruces, NM

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

Las Cruces punches above its weight in beagle rescue: eight organizations across a city of just over 111,000, and three of them—ACTion Programs for Animals Adoption Center, Las Cruces Animal Control, and Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary—maintain robust, easy-to-search websites. That's an unusually strong concentration for a mid-size New Mexico city. You'll also find general shelters like the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley and county animal control, all of which take in hounds regularly. Start by calling the high-grade rescues first, then work through the county options. With this many groups in one place, a beagle is likely closer than you think.
