About Us
Hounds Haven Basset Rescue is a non-for profit all volunteer run rescue organization. We are located in IA and rescue Basset Hounds in need through out the states of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska (other states too occassionaly). We are NOT a shelter and list our Basset friends in need as a public service. All hounds reside in either temporary homes, shelters or with thier current owners and are seen by appointment with their care providers. If you would like any additional info on any of the hounds listed under the "Adoptable Hounds" tab please contact the name and contact info listed on that hounds bio.
What makes Hounds Haven Unique?:
Lifetime support. While most reputable rescues will accept a dog back into their program once it has been adopted, we take that one step further.We are always available to adopters to help with any issues that may arise so that the adoption doesn't fail and the dog doesn't have to be returned. As long as you are committed to the dog, we are committed to helping you make it work.
Developing a relationship, not executing an exchange. We've been criticized for wanting to remain too involved in the lives of the dogs we adopt out. IWe don't ever stop by unexpectedly to snoop around, but we may send emails or call every now and then just to check in and see how everything is going. We love getting pictures of the kids in their new homes and hearing stories of your successes. We are not selling you a dog and then walking away. If that's what you are looking for, go visit your local shelter. When we agree to take a dog into rescue, we are making a lifetime commitment to that dog, and we take that commitment VERY seriously.
