1 organization in
Buffalo that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Buffalo is a small town in north-central Wyoming, and adoption coverage here comes down to one organization: St. Francis Animal Shelter, Inc, which serves the whole region with a well-maintained website and straightforward adoption process. In a town of fewer than 4,500 people, beagles aren't a constant arrival, so patience and a willingness to check back matter more than luck. This page covers St. Francis directly, then points you toward the nearest towns — Sheridan and Gillette — where a few more shelters sit within reasonable driving distance. Start local, but don't hesitate to widen your search early.
A no-kill shelter in Buffalo serving Johnson County, Wyoming, caring for more than 600 animals yearly. Founded in 1997, St. Francis adopts out dogs and cats with full health assessments—including microchipping, vaccinations, and spay/neuter—before placement. It also runs low-cost vaccination, microchipping, spay/neuter, and trap-neuter-return clinics for county residents, making it a comprehensive resource for hound and beagle adopters in the region.
St. Francis is your first call, so introduce yourself and ask to be added to their list when a beagle or hound-mix comes in. Because options thin out this far north in Wyoming, plan to check Sheridan (34 miles north) and Gillette (60 miles east) as backup, and confirm a dog is actually there before you make the drive. A beagle found in Buffalo and adopted into a real home is exactly what rescue is meant for — and the dog's gratitude for escaping a shelter and finding the high plains will be written all over its face.
