1 organization in
Tijeras that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Tijeras is a tiny mountain community between Albuquerque and the Sandia peaks, and local beagle options are limited to one: Sunflower Sanctuary Animal Rescue. In a place this small, a hound may or may not be available on any given week, so patience and a willingness to look eastward into the foothills or westward toward Albuquerque will serve you well. This page lists what's right here in Tijeras, then points you to the nearest towns where you're more likely to find a beagle in person. A short drive can make all the difference.
A 501(c)(3) sanctuary in Tijeras, New Mexico, founded in 2008 to provide permanent homes for elderly, sick, and neglected animals. The group specializes in senior dogs aged 10 and older alongside horses, donkeys, and goats that would otherwise be rejected or euthanized. It has saved over 350 animals and operates entirely on donations for day-to-day care and medical needs.
When adopting from a mountain town, casting your net regionally is the real strategy. Call Sunflower Sanctuary first and ask to join their waitlist, then widen your search toward Albuquerque, which has five organizations and sits just fifteen miles down the valley. Confirm a beagle or hound-mix is actually there before you drive out. A dog from a small New Mexico rescue will be grateful for a real home, and the search itself — a drive through the foothills with adoption on your mind — becomes part of the story you'll tell for years.
