About us

Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland was founded in 2001 and is dedicated to saving beagles and placing them in loving homes.

 

Our beagles come in as strays, from shelters, and as owner surrenders. Some only need current vaccinations, regular meals, and love; but others need extensive vetting, nutritional support, or lifesaving surgery before they are ready to be adopted.

 

So far, we’ve rescued more than 2,500 dogs.

 

We’re proud of the work we do, but we don’t do it alone. We’re grateful for our network of fosters and the generous donations of beagle devotees throughout the region.

Our Volunteers

Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland is operated completely by volunteers, and all of our dogs are fostered by volunteers in private homes (we do not have a shelter or kennel).

Many of our beagles had unhappy lives before they came to us, and their well-being and quality of life is important to us.
