Veterinary Care & Shelter for Basset Hounds, Bloodhounds & Basset Hound Mixes
Arizona Basset Hound Rescue covers all aspects of animal welfare, ranging from shelter to veterinary care and foster home placement. We specialize in high-quality, compassionate care for all rescued Basset Hounds, Bloodhounds, and Basset Hound Mixes.
Our mission is supported by a network of generous and dedicated foster home volunteers. We have been in operation since 1999 and collaborate with several reputable local and state shelters to reduce the euthanasia of dogs.
