Las Vegas Basset Rescue
has been helping
homeless Bassets since
1999. Basset Hounds are
dropped at shelters,
abandoned on the
streets, and given up by
their owners for various
reasons. They are young,
old and in-between. Some
are healthy and
well-socialized, just
needing the basics of
veterinary care. Others
have been medically
neglected and
emotionally or
physically abused. Many
need all manner of
veterinary care to get
them into tip-top shape.
They ALL need a fresh
start in life with a
caring family.
It is our mission to heal them and make them ready for permanent, loving homes. We have taken over 500 Bassets into rescue since we began in 1999. We strive to help each and every basset that needs a "new leash on life". The dogs are cared for in loving foster homes while they await permanent adoption. Dedicated foster families assess the dogs' personalities and needs so that they can be placed in the appropriate homes. We are a small group of volunteers who have jobs, families, and other important commitments. No one receives a salary--all donations and funds raised go directly to pay the dogs' medical bills. We do Basset Rescue because we wish to make a difference in the lives of the breed we love. In June of 2003 Las Vegas Basset Rescue became a 501c-3, non-profit charitable organization--making all donations tax-deductible. We also raise funds through various special events and garage sales. If you are interested in volunteering in any way, please email us at info@rescuebassets.com Together we hope to meet the growing needs of homeless bassets in the Southern Nevada area. Thank You, The Volunteers of Las Vegas Basset Rescue |
