Beagle rescues & shelters in Fort Worth, TX

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

Fort Worth is a city of nearly a million people, and its rescue scene reflects the scale: nine organizations ranging from dedicated hound groups like Animal Hope, Code Red Animal Project, and Highway Hounds Rescue to municipal shelters and general adoption centers. The mix means beagles turn up across the city — sometimes at a breed-focused rescue, sometimes at a municipal facility like Chuck Silcox Animal Care & Control or the Humane Society of North Texas. Several of these groups have polished websites that make browsing current dogs easy; others require a phone call or an in-person visit to learn what's available. Start locally and reach out to a few at once; in a city this size, something new usually arrives weekly.
