Golden Gate Basset Rescue GGBR rescues, restores and rehomes Basset Hounds across northern California. NO PREMISES - WE ARE FOSTER HOME BASED. We exist solely on donations.

As a non-political organization, the views of our Board, volunteers and supporters are personal to those individuals and do not reflect the views of our non-profit. We were formed in 2005 after operating for nearly ten years under the Northern California Basset Hound Club. Today, GGBR is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization. GGBR takes orphaned bassets into foster care, usually in volunteer ho

mes, 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 prevention, flea and tick prevention. Our hounds are microchipped with 24PetWatch.com microchips, and when adopted out come with 30 days gift insurance cover courtesy of ShelterCare. 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.

How does your support help GGBR?

We take in basset hounds from all over Northern California - from Monterey up to the Oregon border and east to Reno, Nevada! Some are owner surrenders, but most are strays that were turned into a shelter. Every hound that comes into our care needs to be vetted to make sure that they are healthy enough to go to a foster family. They may need to be spayed or neutered or have a necessary treatment like caring for fleas or heartworm! Multiply those bills times the dozens of hounds we take in each year and those bills add up quickly! Our average credit card bill (mostly for vet expenses) is $10,000!

Your donations go to help pay these bills so we start each month with a $0 balance!

GGBR always has a lot more bassets behind the scenes than you see on our website
At the moment, GGBR has 23 bassets in our care (plus one waiting to come in)
And six of these are forever fosters! Forever Fosters are called that because we will take care of their health issues as long as they need us! They will live out their days in a caring, loving home thanks to their great foster families!!

Luckily, four are ‘pending adoption’ - but until the contracts are signed, we retain financial responsibility for those hounds. Some are ‘on hold’ as they are new to us and are awaiting medical and behavioral assessments.

We couldn’t do what we do without your support and the dedication of our volunteers!

SWEET OLIVER IS READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME!

Oliver is “one big beautiful boy”weighing in at 70 pounds. This adorable 6 year old neutered male basset hound is very good natured and gets along with everyone (not sure about cats). He loves children and is quite attached to the 9-year-old girl in his foster home. Being a social dog, he actively seeks attention from his people and wants to be with them as much as possible. Although it takes him a while to warm up to other dogs, once ‘the ice is broken’, he becomes a very active enthusiastic player. He would enjoy having a doggy buddy to keep him company when his family is away as he prefers not to be alone. He is housetrained, up-to-date on his vetting, and walks well on leash. Due to his size he is a strong dog with a large presence and being a classic basset, slobbering is a frequent occurrence.

Oliver wants a home where someone is home most of the time. He would especially like a home with school-age kids. He gets along well with other dogs, but another dog in the home is not required. Oliver’s foster mom would especially like to find a home within visiting distance of Sunnyvale, so she can see him from time to time.

Is Oliver the basset hound for your family?

The number of attendees was lower than expected at the Placer SPCA Wag and Walk yesterday, but GGBR volunteers still had a fun day! Quite a few Basset Hounds stopped by to say hello. A big THANKS to our Sacramento volunteers- Rachel T, Daniel, Nancy, Judy, Heidi, Victoria, and Fran!
