The Adoption Process
Note: Not all Bassets brought into the Droopy BHR are posted to this site
Priority is given to the pre-approved home list to see if somebody is already waiting to be matched up with the Basset that is right for them!
Changing lifestyles, downsizing, and the economy create an abundance of good Bassets that need new homes. These dogs reside with generous, volunteer foster families who care for them until the Bassets find great forever homes like the ones seen above!!
The following information is reference to the procedures Droopy Basset Hound Rescue requires for all basset hound adoptees. It is to be applied to all potential adopters. A profile for each applicant will be setup containing the information below. Droopy Basset Hound Rescue of Western PA reserves the right to adapt the adoption process, if applicable.
Interested candidates are encouraged to view the dog photos, by accessing the internet web address, or a photo can be sent to them, upon request. Any helpful information on the basset hound breed, including, but not limited to, health and maintenance can be provided to the prospective applicants or those requesting it.
