Belly Rubs Basset Rescue is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt corporation. We are an all-volunteer organization providing assistance in finding good homes for abandoned, abused, and/or unwanted Basset Hounds in Tennessee, north Mississippi and eastern Arkansas. The bassets we rescue are brought into the homes of our volunteers where they are evaluated and trained as necessary.
We take dogs from shelters where they would otherwise be put down. Currently all our foster families are full and we are not able to accept owner surrenders.
We are a hands-on rescue allowing all basset rescues to be part of our families. All rescues are checked by our veterinarians, wormed if needed, brought current on shots, spayed/neutered, and placed on heart worm preventative if heart worm negative. Rescues that are heart worm positive are treated if medically and financially feasible.
