Beagle rescues & shelters in Marietta, OH

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

Marietta sits on the Ohio River in Washington County, and you're in good shape if you're looking for a beagle here — both local organizations, the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley and the Washington County Dog Warden, have strong, easy-to-use websites and both regularly take in hounds. In a town this size, beagles cycle through fairly steadily, so your odds are solid if you're patient and reach out to both groups. Call ahead to see what's available, and don't be surprised if a hound is ready for a home visit within a week or two. This page gives you the direct lines to both.

Start with the Humane Society and the Dog Warden, call to ask about current beagles, and mention you're hoping to adopt soon — shelters often prioritize people who are genuinely ready. If nothing clicks locally, Zanesville is about 50 miles south and has a couple of other shelters worth a call. Confirm any dog is actually there before you drive out, and ask to be put on a waitlist if nothing fits this week. A beagle adopted from the Ohio Valley comes home to a place where it'll have river-valley walks and a family that chose rescue over a puppy — that's the whole point.
