My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

 

This is handsome Dusty! 

Meet Dusty, a ten-year-old basset hound with his adorable sister, Tulip! They’ve been inseparable since birth and share a special bond. Dusty is a sweet and friendly pup, always happy and up for some gentle play.
 
He’s a calm and friendly older dog, and he’d love to find a loving home with you. If you’re looking for a sweet brother-sister pair to add to your family, fill out our Adoption Application on our website.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our paperwork is on our website. (http://www.ggbassetrescue.org/info/adoption) but we expect an application form, a home check visit, possible reference check and an adoption donation. All this helps to ensure that the right basset hound is chosen for you, to match your lifestyle and circumstances, as you will become a "forever" home!

Go meet their pets

We do not have a specific kennel or shelter location to take our dogs to. We are so widespread that we just go from foster home to forever home.

More about this rescue

Golden Gate Basset Rescue rescues Basset Hounds from abusive, abandoned and unwanted situations across the whole of Northern California. We were formed in 2005 after operating for nearly ten years under the Northern California Basset Hound Club.

Today, Golden Gate Basset Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization. We exist solely on donations.

Golden Gate Basset Rescue takes orphaned bassets into foster care, usually in volunteer homes, where they are loved and cared for until permanent, forever homes are found. We provide veterinary care, which includes > necessary vaccinations, spaying and neutering, heartworm, flea and tick prevention.

Our wonderful volunteers spend time with the dogs to evaluate them, deal with any behavioral issues, and restore them to full health with good food and love.
