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.

Sharon is an adorable, lively female basset puppy who was surrrendered to GGBR because the owner was not able to afford her veterinary care. She is said to be three months old but she may be younger than that. Sharon is not able to walk because she does not have control of her back legs. She is able to use her front legs to pull herself along, sometime at a surprisingly high rate of speed. She is a happy puppy, unfazed by her disability.
Sharon has been evaluated by a veterinarian who is concerned that Sharon has paralysis of her back legs due to Swimmer Syndrome. Futher evaluation by a neurologist will be scheduled to pursue a definitive diagnosis and a physical therapy program.
We are maintaining hope that now with Sharon being in the care of GGBR she will be able to make progress toward walking. She will receive the benefits of consistent medical care and physical therapy, as well as being in a loving home.

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!
