4 organizations in
Nashville that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Nashville has four organizations listed here for beagle adoption, anchored by two with strong, searchable websites: Crossroads Grooming and Retail Pet Store in Germantown and the Nashville Humane Association. The other two — Green Hills Kennels and Metro Animal Care and Control — require a bit more legwork online, but both take in hounds regularly. In a city this size, beagles turn up in intake throughout the year, though never on any guaranteed schedule. Start by reaching out to the Nashville Humane Association and Metro Animal Care and Control, both of which handle many of the area's surrenders, then add the others to your list.
A Nashville nonprofit with two professional grooming salons, a retail pet-supply store, and adoption and foster programs for dogs and cats. Crossroads Pets is part of Crossroads Campus, a larger 501(c)(3) focused on helping unstably housed young adults through job training, affordable housing, and support services alongside animal rehoming. It's an all-breed adoption program, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up among the dogs available.
Nashville Humane Association has been serving Nashville and Middle Tennessee since 1946, with a 99% save rate and adoption as its primary mission. The shelter adopts out dogs and cats, runs a transport program pulling animals from shelters across Tennessee and beyond, and offers volunteer and foster opportunities. Voted the area's favorite adoption destination year after year, it's a reliable first stop for anyone in the region looking to adopt a beagle or hound.
Green Hills Kennels is based in Nashville, Tennessee. Beyond its listing, details about what it does—whether it's a rescue, boarding facility, breeder, or shelter—aren't available here. Contact the group directly to learn whether it handles dog rescue or adoption, what dogs it may have, and how to proceed if you're looking for a beagle.
Metro Animal Care and Control is Nashville's municipal animal-services agency. As an open-admission shelter it takes in strays and owner surrenders of every breed, so beagles and hound-mixes pass through regularly. Call ahead to ask what dogs are currently available for adoption and how the process works.
Nashville's rescue landscape is a mix, so a multi-pronged approach works best: call the Humane Association and animal control first, ask to join their waitlists, and check back weekly if nothing appears immediately. If the going gets quiet, don't hesitate to ask smaller groups like Green Hills Kennels whether they ever take in hounds — sometimes a beagle waiting for rescue lives outside the biggest names. Adopt instead of buying, and you'll bring home a dog that Nashville's shelters have already loved and vetted for you. The right ears are waiting for your call.
