3 organizations in Martinsburg that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Martinsburg's three organizations span the full range of what adoption looks like in a smaller West Virginia city: the Berkeley County Humane Society runs a polished, easy-to-navigate site (it has an A grade for web accessibility), Rescue Me WV focuses on pulling dogs from tough situations, and Berkeley County Animal Control handles the municipal intake. In a town of under 20,000 people, beagles don't flood in daily, so patience and a willingness to call ahead matter more than online listings. Start with these three and get comfortable with the staff — they'll remember you when a hound arrives.

Martinsburg, WV
The animal-control shelter serving Berkeley County in the Martinsburg, West Virginia area. As an open-admission facility it takes in strays and owner surrenders of all kinds, so beagles and hound-mixes pass through regularly. Its listing lacks further detail, so call ahead to confirm what dogs are currently available for adoption and how the process works.

Because Martinsburg's options are lean, making a few friendly phone calls now pays off later. Call the Berkeley County Humane Society first, then Rescue Me WV, and ask each to add you to a waitlist or contact you when a beagle comes through. If nothing local clicks, Harpers Ferry is just sixteen miles away and worth a quick call. Adopting a hound from rural West Virginia means giving a dog a real second chance while keeping a small-town rescue going. The beagle that ends up with you here will know exactly what it means to be wanted.
