4 organizations in
Maryville that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Maryville is a small city in East Tennessee's Smoky Mountain region, and its four listed organizations cover the immediate area — a mix that includes Smoky Mountain Animal Care Foundation, a polished beagle-focused rescue, alongside general shelters like Blount County Animal Center. In a town this size, beagles don't arrive constantly, so patience and a willingness to check a few places pay off. This page gathers the local options together; because website quality varies, a phone call is often your fastest route to finding out what's actually available right now. Start here, then you'll know whether to expand your search outward.
The Smoky Mountain Animal Care Foundation (also known as Friends of the Blount County Animal Center) is a 501(c)(3) that supports Blount County's only open-admission municipal shelter. Working with 250 active volunteers, it secures funding to ensure medical care and adoption outcomes; the shelter achieved a 90% placement rate through adoption, rescue, and transport in 2025. Adoptions are by appointment Tuesday–Saturday.
A volunteer-run rescue in Maryville, Tennessee with a 95% save rate that takes in dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens, vets them, trains them, and socializes them before adoption. The group runs adoption, foster, and volunteer programs, with adoption applications and meet-and-greets handled through its Maarcadopt.org platform. Its core mission is placing every animal that comes through its doors rather than managing for capacity.
The animal shelter serving Blount County in the Maryville, Tennessee area. As an open-admission facility it takes in strays and owner surrenders of all kinds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly. Its listing lacks further detail here, so call ahead to confirm what dogs are currently available for adoption and how the process works.
A humane society serving the East Tennessee area around Maryville. Its listing doesn't include further detail, so contact the group directly to learn what dogs it currently has available, whether any beagles or hounds are among them, and how its adoption process works.
Maryville's small roster means you may need to look beyond the immediate city. Call Smoky Mountain Animal Care Foundation first if you're set on a breed-focused match, then reach out to the other three. If nothing local turns up, Knoxville is just 15 miles north and has four more organizations to canvas — a short drive for a bigger selection. Confirm a beagle or hound-mix is there before you make the trip, and ask to join a waitlist if nothing's available today. A dog from East Tennessee's foothills will settle into a home here the way a beagle was meant to, all long ears and determination.
