Hounds Haven Basset Rescue Of Iowa - Nothing Butt Bassets
 
Surrendering A Basset Hound
Hounds Haven Basset Rescue is a very small all volunteer based rescue.  We rely on area representatives to help us become aware of Basset Hounds in need of being re-homed or that are in high-euthanizing shelters. 
 
We understand, for whatever the circumstances may be, that owners sometimes have to relinquish thier beloved Basset(s) to rescue.  First we want to thank you for considering placing the hound in need with rescue instead of just taking it to the local shelter. 
 
We will try everything in our power to make any owner surrender Basset coming into rescue feel the most comfortable they can.  And if our rescue is full we will work diligently with other great rescues to place the hound there. 
 
A few things we might require when surrendering your Basset to rescue
  • completely UTD on vaccinations & Heart Worm tested & altered.  If these requirements can not be met, we kindly request you make a small donation to rescue to help offset the costs of rescue having to vet the hound in question. 
  • Can the Basset needing re-homing stay with it's current family while we work cooperatively to find the Basset a new great home?  It is always easiest on the hound to stay with the family they know and love while the family and HHBR work hand in hand on the adoption process to find the hound it's new forever home. 
  • If for any reason the above circumstance is not an option we kindly request you surrender your Basset with all of it's personal belongings.  Included but not limited to it's leash, collar, bedding, crate, bowls, etc.
