Las Vegas Basset Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an application, which is located on our website. Volunteers then go over the application and any vet references that the applicants has listed. A phone call to the applicants is made to talk about which basset might be right for their family situation. A home visit will then be scheduled. We do require a signed adoption contract. Our fees can vary, but usually are as follows: Dogs under the age of 2 years are $250. Dogs 2 years old and up are $150. Seniors (over the age of 10 years) are usually $100. Special needs dogs' adoption fees are negotiable.

About Las Vegas Basset Rescue

We are a rescue devoted to the Basset Hound breed. We are a small, non-profit (501c-3), all-volunteer group of people who have the desire to help this breed that we love. We take in bassets from shelters, bassets lost and not reclaimed, and directly from owners who must relinquish them. Our rescue then evaluates for health and temperment. We screen potential adopters to try to make the best possible placement for hound and family. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date with vaccines, and vet checked before adoption. If for any reason an adoption does not work out we take the basset back into our rescue.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
