Hounds Haven Basset Rescue is a non-for profit all volunteer run no-kill 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.

UPDATE 6/28/2010: Due to Iowa State Laws in order for a rescue in the state of Iowa to have foster homes they have to hold a shelter license and also be approved for a Fostering Oversight Permit. Back in February of 2010 HHBR set it's goal high to become the only State approved Shelter/Rescue for Basset Hounds and get that Fostering Oversight Permit! The designation of animal
shelter is the highest level of certification offered in Iowa and we are both excited and humbled to have achieved this milestone. After much dedication HHBR has built a small shelter in Johnson Co Iowa. All though this shelter meets State of Iowa Requirements outlined in Chapter 67 of the Animal Welfare Laws it will NEVER house any of HHBR's Basset's For Adoption. We will continue to be a Foster Home Based Organization. We feel our beloved Bassets deserve to be part of a family, learn to live and love the "indoor" life and get the high quality of vet care Hounds Haven offers each and every hound we rescue & rehome.
