You just know – every basset hound lover needs a basset hound senior in their house and you are NEVER going to find one as sweet and as cute as I am. I like to snuggle. I like belly rubs. I like to cuddle. And I like to lay in the sun. So come on, what more could you possibly be looking for?
Thank you, Basset Hound Lover, for your interest in adopting a rescued, homeless Basset Hound - our Basset Hounds need YOU!
Adopters are asked to make a minimum donation of $225 to cover the expenses involved in getting the dog ready for placement, i.e., veterinary bills, board bills if the dog must be housed in a commercial kennel while awaiting adoption, etc. Any additional donation above expenses is appreciated, and goes into our rescue fund to help care for other dogs, such as extraordinary veterinary expenses, etc.
If a dog is surrendered to us directly by the original owner, we request a donation from the owner to help cover the cost of housing and caring for the dog until it is adopted, or to pay for any necessary veterinary expenses, if at all possible.
The rescue service is run on a non-profit basis, and no one involved in it receives any remuneration, other than repayment for out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the care of the dogs.
How do I adopt a Basset Hound? Please visit our website at www.tristatebassets.org to get additional information about our adoption procedures and to submit an application. Information about the care of Bassets will be provided at the time of adoption, and follow-up advice is always just a phone call away.
