Arizona Basset Hound Rescue

Application Review & Placement

(Note: There is a $10 application fee.) We will get in touch with you after reviewing your adoption application. We request you to be patient as the process can sometimes take longer than usual due to other rescue activities. Please review the following details carefully before completing the application:

Adoption Fee

You will need to pay a minimum adoption fee, based on the dog's age at the time of adoption. Please note that dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped at the time of adoption.

  • Age 0 to 2: $600
  • Age 3 to 5: $450
  • Age 6-9: $350
  • Age 10 or older: $100

Previous adopters get a 10% discount. If adopting a bonded pair there is a 25% discount. This is a re-homing fee and is not a donation to the Rescue. Please contact us with any questions.

Home Specifications

If you have an unfenced swimming pool in your house, please make sure that there is no free access to the yard where the pool is located. Basset Hounds are not swimmers due to their heavy bodies and short legs. We will not place a dog in your home until the required modifications are made to restrict free outdoor access.

Some home specifications should include, but are not limited to:

  • fenced yard with locked gates
  • secured swimming pool area
  • secured toxic chemicals
