2 organizations in
Allentown that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Allentown's two listed organizations sit at opposite ends of the website spectrum, but both take in beagles. The Lehigh Valley Humane Society and Vet Clinic offers a polished online presence and straightforward adoption process, while City of Allentown Animal Control handles the municipal intake — less flashy, equally real. In a city of 125,000, hounds turn up regularly at both places. Start by calling or browsing the Humane Society's site, then reach out to Animal Control directly; they may have a dog that hasn't made it online yet. A little legwork here pays off fast.
The Lehigh Valley Humane Society, serving the region since 1906, operates a shelter and adoption center in Allentown with a managed-admissions policy for strays and abandoned animals from contracted service areas. Its on-site veterinarian provides medical care for shelter animals, and the Community Vet Clinic offers low-cost care to pet owners. As a general humane society it takes in dogs and cats of all kinds, so hounds and beagles turn up regularly alongside other animals needing homes.
The municipal animal-control shelter serving Allentown, Pennsylvania. As an open-admission facility it takes in strays and owner surrenders of all breeds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly. Contact the shelter directly to ask what dogs are currently available for adoption and how the process works.
Because Allentown has limited options right in the city, neighboring towns work in your favor. If the local shelters draw blank, Breinigsville is nine miles north with two more organizations, and a cluster of small towns — Walnutport, Quakertown, East Greenville, Nazareth — all sit around thirteen miles out with one shelter each. Call ahead to confirm a beagle is actually there before you drive. Adopt from the Lehigh Valley instead of buying, and you're bringing home a dog that already knows the second chance it's been given.
