CANADIAN BASSET RESCUE NETWORK
Rescue and Placement Service for Basset Hounds
WHAT IS BASSET RESCUE?
Basset Rescue is a non-profit program for purebred Basset Hounds, which finds
good homes for abandoned and unwanted hounds. Our program is supported by The
Basset Hound Club of Canada and is completely administered by volunteers who
are Basset Hound Breeders and experienced fanciers. Our goals are to:
rescue abandoned, unwanted, neglected Bassets;
provide all necessary care, treatment and rehabilitation;
assess the hounds for adopt ability and locate suitable homes for them; educate
the public concerning responsible dog ownership.
WHERE DO THE DOGS COME FROM?
The dogs we rescue are relinquished for a number of reasons: family
relocation, owner death/divorce/illness, a new baby ... the list goes on
and on. Each Basset entering our program is given a thorough veterinary
examination with necessary treatment, such as: vaccinations, heart worm testing
(seasonally determined)spaying/neutering,acute treatment or surgery, if
required.
HOW DO I ADOPT A RESCUED BASSET HOUND?
To be considered as an adopting owner, you must be willing to:
- return the dog to Basset Rescue, if for any reason you can no longer keep it.
- maintain the rescue solely as a companion and household pet.
- offer necessary veterinary treatment.
- offer fresh water, quality feed, appropriate sleeping quarters, proper
grooming, exercise and attention.
- ensure a fenced yard or appropriate dog run
COST
A mutually agreed upon sum, subject to individual assessment, will be
determined by all concerned parties. However, we are grateful for an
initial donation of $200.00.
AGE
All Bassets of any age are accepted into our program.
WAITING LISTS
We seldom have dogs immediately available, so be prepared to have your name
added to our waiting list. We have a Canada wide Internet
Connection to other Provinces to search for available adopt able Bassets. When
a hound enters the Rescue program, we use information gathered from the
previous owner or comments from Shelter staff and veterinarians along with our
impressions during the observation period. Prospective adopters are then
decided upon by criteria that best suit the hound's needs. This criteria
includes such things as:
- rural/urban location, size of yard, experience with dogs, number and ages of
children, number and type of other pets, hours available for the dog, etc ...
