Neither has a polished website, but both take in hounds regularly, and a beagle turns up here often enough if you're willing to call and ask. This page covers what's in Franklin itself, then points you outward to the more robust networks in surrounding towns. A short drive can dramatically expand your odds of finding the right dog.

Franklin's thin local coverage is balanced by proximity to bigger shelters just down the road. Call both Franklin organizations first and ask to join their waitlists, then broaden your search to Murfreesboro, about twenty-five minutes away, where three shelters increase your chances significantly. Confirm a beagle or hound-mix is actually available before you make any drive. In a metro this size, the dog you're looking for is likely close by — it just takes a few phone calls and a willingness to cast slightly wider. Bring a beagle home from Williamson County and you've given a shelter dog a real life.
