We are an all volunteer organization dedicated to the welfare of basset hounds. NTBHR is a pure breed basset hound rescue that was originally formed in 1984 under Basset Hound Cares, an organization that operated under the breed specific Basset Hound Club of America, before rescue groups were popular. We became incorporated in 1997 and ruled as a 501c3 charity organization in 1998. We have rescued

well over 2000 basset hounds since our inception. Our general area of rescue is the Fort Worth and Dallas area, but we also cover many shelters in North Texas from Abilene to Waco, Longview to the Oklahoma border. Our first priority is to rescue basset hounds from area shelters once their time is up there. Secondly, when space is available we take in dogs that are classified as stray, once every effort has been made to locate the dog's owner. Thirdly, we take fully vetted, spayed or neutered basset hounds from owners when we have space available. Money is spent to insure that the bassets are healthy, neutered or spayed, and treatment for heartworms. On occasion we must make the tough decision of euthanasia due to health problems or aggressive behavior. Rescue volunteers receive no compensation for their countless hours and transportation costs. NTBHR is very fortunate to have several veterinarians who provide excellent treatment at a reduced rate. The rewards of a rescue volunteer come from knowing that a basset is getting a second chance and from a slobbery lick and a wagging tail.

🐾 This Memorial Day, we’re grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and reminded that every life deserves compassion, safety, and a place to call home.

NTBHR works year-round to give abandoned, neglected, and surrendered hounds a second chance through medical care, foster homes, rehabilitation, and adoption. These lovable dogs bring so much joy, loyalty, and personality into the lives of the families who welcome them home. ❤️🤍💙

If you’re looking for a way to help, consider adopting, fostering, volunteering, donating, or simply sharing rescue posts to help more bassets find loving families. Every share can make a difference. 🐶

Look at this cutie- Theo - he may be a bit of a mix but the shelter was desperate to move him and he has the ears, feet and attitude of a basset. So if you are looking for a young, outgoing, smaller basset he's your guy! Watch the website for updates.
