Basset Rescue is an organization dedicated to saving bassets from death row. Our mission is to rescue, spay, neuter, vaccinate and re-home Bassets as well as educate people on this beautiful breed. Rescued Bassets come from kill-shelters, no-kill shelters, are picked up as strays, or are relinquished by owners due to divorce, incarceration, death or because they just aren't wanted any more.

As a Rescue Organization, we take in homeless dogs, spay or neuter them (no exceptions), check for parasites, vaccinate and provide any other medical care necessary to get them healthy. We then attempt to match the right basset with the right home. Please check out the adoption process for more information.

BRCC carefully screens applicants to ensure the best home environment for our Bassets. Rescue dogs have lost the security of their original homes and some have been abused, abandoned or neglected. Our goal is to place our Rescues in stable homes where they will be allowed to live out the rest of their lives soaking up all the love and care the adopting family can provide.
