Official Page of North Texas Basset Hound Rescue - Founded in 1984 - NTBHR is an IRS designated 501c3 non-profit.
(68)

We are an all volunteer organization dedicated to the welfare of basset hounds. NTBHR is a pure breed basset hound rescue that was originally formed in 1984 under Basset Hound Cares, an organization that operated under the breed specific Basset Hound Club of America, before rescue groups were popular. We became incorporated in 1997 and ruled as a 501c3 charity organization in 1998. We have rescued

well over 2000 basset hounds since our inception. Our general area of rescue is the Fort Worth and Dallas area, but we also cover many shelters in North Texas from Abilene to Waco, Longview to the Oklahoma border. Our first priority is to rescue basset hounds from area shelters once their time is up there. Secondly, when space is available we take in dogs that are classified as stray, once every effort has been made to locate the dog's owner. Thirdly, we take fully vetted, spayed or neutered basset hounds from owners when we have space available. Money is spent to insure that the bassets are healthy, neutered or spayed, and treatment for heartworms. On occasion we must make the tough decision of euthanasia due to health problems or aggressive behavior. Rescue volunteers receive no compensation for their countless hours and transportation costs. NTBHR is very fortunate to have several veterinarians who provide excellent treatment at a reduced rate. The rewards of a rescue volunteer come from knowing that a basset is getting a second chance and from a slobbery lick and a wagging tail.

Make room for Honey! This cutie was left at a local shelter so we jumped in to help. She is petite, good in the car and so sweet. We do know she has a mass that needs care and our vet is checking her out now. Check back for updates!

And we are still in need of a few judges, so please let us know if you would like to help, other wise we are cutting the games!! Not really, but it will run so much smoother with a few volunteers, and it's just for a few hours, you don't even have to help set up! Drop us a note and we'll be in touch!

Princess Lucy has a message for all her basset friends out there on this holiday weekend--- Happy 4th of July!! Stay safe and be sure and stay close to your hooman as those loud bangy things may scare them - best bet is to get right up in their lap as close as possible. Next - watch for falling goodies, especially from those little hoomans down on our level! Sharing is caring (unless it is bad for us doggies, of course). Cold watermelon is mighty tasty on a hot day, but brisket will do - thanks Mom. Love to all my friends out there!🥰
