2 organizations in Sturgis that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Sturgis is a small South Dakota town of just over 7,000 people, and your local adoption options are slim: two organizations, Sturgis Animal Shelter and Bluegrass Kennels, serve the immediate area. Beagles don't turn up constantly in a place this size, so patience and a willingness to look nearby will serve you well. The good news is that you're not isolated — Rapid City sits 27 miles south with three shelters, and several smaller towns between here and there each have their own organization. This page covers Sturgis itself, then points you toward the regional network that makes adoption realistic.

Sturgis, SD
Bluegrass Kennels is based in Sturgis, South Dakota. Details about what it does—whether it's a rescue, shelter, breeder, or boarding facility—aren't available in this listing, so contact the kennels directly to ask about beagles or hounds, its current dogs, and how its adoption or services work.
No organizations match that grade.
When adopting from Sturgis, casting a wider net early saves time and heartache. Call both local organizations and ask to join their waitlists, then expand toward Rapid City, which has the most shelters in the region. Spearfish and Lead, both a short drive away, are also worth a call. Confirm a beagle is actually available before you make any trip, and don't be discouraged if nothing is there today — ask how often they take in hounds and when they expect the next one. A beagle adopted from the Black Hills will have a home that values patience, and that's the kind of person they deserve.
