About Our Rescue Group

Basset Hound Rescue of Alabama, Inc. was established in late 1999. During the last 9.5 years we have found forever homes for for over 1,410 hounds. We are an all volunteer organization and all funds received from adoptions, donations and other fundraising is used for the benefit of the hounds.

Come Meet our Pets

We try to hold an adoption day once a month at a PetSmart or PetCo location. Annually in April or May we have the Basset Bash at Oak Mountain State Park, Al. This is our major fundraising effort and is a "homecoming" of sorts for the bassets. Folks who adopted in the past travel to AL from all over just to be a part of the fun, food, and festivities. Watch for all events to be posted on our website at www.bhra.org

Our Adoption Process

When a hound comes in it is medically evaluated and treated and all shots given, spay/neuter as necessary. Then they are placed in an approved foster home until an adoption application is received. The adopting home is visited by a volunteer and a report provided to the Adoption Coordinator who makes the final decision.
Once approved, transport is set up and the hound travels to the new home. A followup is done onthe adoption about 30-60 days out. The adoption fee runs $175-$275 depending on the age of the hound.

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 or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
