Please Help Us Care for a Basset

Every animal rescue organization needs foster homes: People/Families who are willing to temporarily open their homes to an animal who got lost or was discarded by his 'owner' and then captured by the animal control people. Won't you please help out a Basset Hound and provide a place for him or her to stay until we can find that boy or girl a forever home!!? You'll never be under ANY obligation, and it's a chance to get to know this loveable breed. Your only expense? Loving care and good food, we pay the rest. Please click on our 'Fostering' bone icon below and see how easy it is.

All of Our Hounds Are Adopted with Microchips

Heart of Dixie Basset Hound Rescue is proud to announce that all of our Hounds have HomeAgain Microchips. We want to increase the likelihood your Hound will be found if lost. HomeAgain will greatly increase that likelihood. To read more about the HomeAgain Microchip program, please
