Organization: Droopy Basset Hound Rescue of Western PA, Inc.

501c3 EIN: 75-2976428

Mission: Established in 1999, the group is an all-volunteer effort to save abandoned and mistreated Basset hounds for the love of the breed. Rescued Bassets are from pounds or shelters, are strays whose owners cannot be found, or are relinquished by owners who no longer want or can afford them. Orphaned Bassets are put into foster care, where they are loved and cared for until a permanent adoptive home can be found. DBHR also provides veterinary care, which includes vaccinations, heartworm, and fecal tests as well as spaying or neutering. Occasionally these costs can be extraordinary, but Basset Hound Rescue is dedicated to the welfare of the breed, and when a rescued Basset is placed in a loving adoptive home to live the rest of his/her life, it makes it all worth it! Droopy Basset Rescue of Western PA, Inc. is also dedicated to education on such topics as pet overpopulation, proper nutrition and care, prevention of heartworm disease, and the necessity of spay/neuter programs.

Unlike many of the larger non-profit organizations, DBHR’s volunteers do not receive a wage or salary, so all monies raised by your donation goes directly to fund the care of rescued Basset hounds.
