Highland County Humane Society A
Monterey, VA
1 organization in Monterey that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Monterey is a tiny Appalachian community in Highland County, Virginia—home to 164 people and one animal rescue: Highland County Humane Society, which maintains a polished, easy-to-use website that makes adoption inquiries straightforward. In a place this small, beagles won't be on the shelf waiting; you'll need patience and a willingness to join a waitlist. The good news is that you're not stranded—neighboring towns with real shelter networks are within an hour's drive, and this page points you toward them. Start by introducing yourself to Highland County Humane Society and asking to be flagged when a hound arrives.
Adopting from a rural Virginia community means thinking regionally and staying ready. Call Highland County Humane Society first, then expand your search to Harrisonburg, which has the densest shelter network nearby at just under forty miles away. A drive to a bigger hub like that can open up real options. Confirm a beagle is actually there before you make the trip, and be patient—but when one of these mountain shelters calls to say your dog has arrived, the winding roads back home will feel like the shortest drive you've ever made.
