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.

Forever foster dogs are the ones who make you teary when they go to the bridge. We had to say good=bye to our forever foster Olive yesterday who is now at peace. She had heart issues, allergies, special diet because of sensitive stomach and severe separation even when someone was home. She only trusted one foster who gave her the ability to trust someone. She took such good care of her in her final years. Thank you Carol for taking her into your home
REST IN PEACE OLIVE

Joey is a basset mix puppy at around 7 months old but will probably be a fairly large dog. He is fearful and has separation anxiety, but is slowly gaining confidence.

Joey is happy to be on leash and go for walks. He’s a playful puppy with lots of energy. He has a very sweet disposition. He would love to be in a home with young children or another energetic dog.

He is looking for a foster to adopt forever home, as he needs to be neutered before final adoption.

2026 GGBR Calendar Contest!

Meet calendar contestant Mairzy Doats, who has passed on from Petaluma, CA.

A little about me…

Mairzy Doats was adopted from GGBR at the age of 3 and lived a great life until we lost her at the age of 11 1/2. She HATED dressing up in costumes but every year Ellen Hongo would get her slippers and I would get the costume to match (rabbit, duck, etc.). She indulged us but was not pleased and hoped every year that Ellen would not be able to find new boosties and that I would not be able to find the costume to match.

You can ENTER photos now through Aug. 31, 2025 at 8pm pst.

VOTING will commence immediately after your photo is posted, and will end on Aug. 31, 2025 at 8pm pst, so the sooner you enter the contest, the longer you’ll have to gather votes for your hound(s)!!
