1 organization in
Burien that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Burien is a south Seattle suburb of about 51,500 people, and it has one main animal shelter: Burien C.A.R.E.S. Animal Shelter, which runs a clean, easy-to-navigate website and takes in hounds regularly. A single organization in a town this size means you'll want to expand your search a bit — the good news is that you're surrounded by options. This page covers what's in Burien itself, then points you toward the neighboring communities where beagles and hound-mixes turn up often. Start local, then widen the net if you need to.
A no-kill shelter in Burien, Washington serving Burien, Federal Way, and Des Moines as the official animal-control authority for those communities. Operating as a nonprofit since 2011, it takes in over 1,000 animals annually with a 65% return-to-owner rate, then works to place unclaimed pets in permanent homes. As an open-admission facility it handles all breeds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly here.
Because Burien has just one shelter, make C.A.R.E.S. your first call and ask to be notified when a beagle or hound-mix arrives. If nothing is available right now, Seattle is only ten miles north with three organizations to check, and Renton is even closer at seven miles. Call ahead to any shelter before you drive out, and consider putting your name on a waitlist so you don't miss the next arrival. A beagle waiting in the south Seattle suburbs is worth a short drive to bring home.
