The Adoption Process Click here to read more about basset hounds to see if they are the right pet for you. They love people, and want to be near them, when possible. We are a basset hound rescue organization located in the metro Phoenix area of Arizona. Through our network of volunteers, we are able to provide adoptions to the entire state.
Rescue means finding new homes for homeless dogs.
Volunteers pick up the dogs, take them to the vet as needed for spaying, neutering, or any other necessary care, serve as foster homes, and help in locating permanent homes for the dogs. The dogs are fostered at least two weeks or more in order for the rescue to discover any problems the dogs might have, and to get an understanding of the dogs' personalities. Arizona Basset Hound Rescue does not routinely have puppies available for adoption. We usually have many older bassets, ranging from 2 years old on up. Some of the sweetest and most well-behaved hounds have been 5 years old and up.
