Basset Hound

I started OBHR over 17 yrs ago. Love the breed. We have rescued over 2000 dogs. We have no age limit, we take seniors, dogs with medicals problems, pregnant dogs. I do it because I want to make sure these dogs are taken care of.

Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit corporation, dedicated to finding forever homes for homeless Basset Hounds in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New York areas. Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue is solely dedicated to the welfare of Basset Hounds. Changing lifestyles, relocations and irresponsible breeding all create an abundance of Bassets who need new homes and make wonderful pets.

We are a small group of experienced rescuers, having volunteered with other organizations in the past. We saw a need for shelter rescue in our area, and felt someone needed fill the void. There are amazing dogs dying in shelters, dogs that bring joy to families, they just need a chance. We give them a chance.

Our Goal and Mission Baja Dog Rescue is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that is run by a group of dedicated volunteers. We rescue and rehabilitate unwanted, abandoned and neglected dogs and find them loving happy homes. We literally give them a second chance at life. And everybody deserves a second chance. We need your help to continue to save the lives of so many wonderful and loving dogs. Good-hearted humans can make all the difference! People who befriend, feed, foster, and bring these dogs back to good health are rescuers. Each one of our dogs is socialized, spay/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions. It's what you'll read about here - the work of rescuers who live in Baja California or in the San Diego, California area. We save street dogs and find them homes. You may never see such a deep devotion as these grateful dogs feel for a human who is simply kind to them. They radiate joy and it's contagious -- their adopters catch joy from them all the time.

I've been involved in basset hound rescue since 2004. I fell in love with the breed after rescuing one from the shelter. Since 20O06 I've been extremely involved with two basset rescues. The area up here can definitely support more than one rescue.

I am the Publications Manager for the City of Pasadena, managing web/electronic and print publications. I am the usual contract point when departments want to implement new software applications that are IT-centric but rather end user. In addition, I am a member of Pets & People Alliance, an organization begun about 12 years ago by the present mayor to assist the shelter through fund raising that enables the City shelter to expand their assistance to animals. PPA is made up primarily of City employees, with other interested parties.

DFW Rescue Me is a rescue group whose primary goal is save dogs from the local city shelters from euthanasia and adopting them to the public. We spay / neuter these dogs as well as give them all necessary medical care. We also educate the public about responsible pet ownership.

Pet-a-Bulls was formed to address the homeless pet crisis in the State of New Mexico in which "bully breed" dogs comprise a minimum of 40% of the total dogs entering the State's shelters while very few - roughly 10% or less - leave the shelter through adoption to appropriate family homes. Our goal is to lead by example through our training and then placement of ready made family pets into carefully matched, appropriate forever homes that treasure these pets as highly valued family members and an integral part of their human pack. Our hope is that by demonstrating how adoptable these breeds truly are to the States many shelters and thus to the public in general, a far greater increase in adoptions of these dogs will be initiated directly from the shelters themselves. While our primary focus is placed on American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, the many and various “Mastiff” breeds and other “bully breeds” in general, we also accept other canine breeds as space and time allow to utilize the internet, mobile adoptions, PetSmart adoption events, and other adoption venues to ultimately place these pet into loving, permanent homes.
