Droopy Basset Hound Rescue of Western Pennsylvania, Inc. is a all volunteer effort to save abandoned and mistreated basset hounds for the love of the breed. All monies raised by Droopy Basset Hound Rescue of Western Pennsylvania directly fund the care of rescued basset hounds. DBHR is a 501(c)3 non profit organization.

Rescued bassets are from pounds or shelters, are strays whose owners cannot be found, or are relinquished by owners who no longer want them. Changing lifestyles, the economy, and lack of responsibility are some of the reasons for the abundance of abandoned basset hounds. And this problem is not specific to bassets only, but is true of all breeds and mixed breeds.

Droopy Basset Hound Rescue of Western Pennsylvania, Inc. takes the orphaned bassets into foster care, where they are loved and cared for until permanent adoptive homes can be found. Basset rescue also provides veterinary care, which included vaccinations, heartworm and fecal tests and spaying or neutering. Occasionally these costs can be extraordinary, but Basset Hound Rescue is dedicated to the welfare of the breed. And when a rescued basset is placed in a loving adoptive home to live the rest of his/her life, it makes it all worth it!

Droopy Basset Hound Rescue of Western Pennsylvania, Inc. is also dedicated to education on such topics as pet overpopulation, proper nutrition and care, prevention of heartworm disease, and the necessity of spay/neuter programs.
