Adopt a Beagle in District of Columbia

Beagles are curious, friendly, and merry dogs with an incredible sense of smell. They frequently end up in rescue because their strong prey drive and tendency to follow their nose can be challenging. A rescued Beagle makes a wonderful family pet with proper exercise.

Washington DC's rescue dog community is highly active, with organizations across the District and immediate suburbs. Most DC rescues transport dogs from rural Southern shelters where euthanasia rates are higher. A rescued DC dog has typically traveled from another state to reach its new home.
