Beagle rescues & shelters in Jamestown, TN

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

Jamestown is a small Tennessee town in Cumberland County, and its two rescue organizations — Best Friends Sanctuary and Odd Man Inn Animal Refuge — both bring serious expertise and polished websites to the work of finding homes for hounds. In a place this size, beagles won't be constant arrivals, so timing and patience matter. The good news is that you're within an hour's drive of several neighboring towns with additional shelter options, which gives you real flexibility as you search. Start by introducing yourself to both Jamestown groups and asking to join their waitlists.

Because Jamestown's selection is modest, widen your search early toward Crossville, about half an hour south, where two more organizations operate, or Cookeville, which rounds out your regional options. Call ahead to any shelter before visiting — beagle availability changes fast, and a quick phone confirmation saves you a trip. Ask each group to reach out when a hound arrives, and consider checking Petfinder or the rescue websites regularly to catch newcomers. Adopt one of Cumberland County's hounds and you're giving a beagle a real home in the hills where it'll spend happy afternoons on a long line, nose to the ground.
