What causes sudden, dramatic surges in the Beagle population within the US shelter system?

Answer

Large-scale seizures or transfers from commercial breeding or research facilities

Sudden, dramatic increases are usually tied to emergency intake scenarios stemming from massive removals of dogs from a single commercial or research location, which overwhelms immediate rescue capacity.
