Welcome and Basset Lovers

Lone Star Basset Hound Rescue is a non-profit organization that depends entirely on volunteer work and donations. Our mission is to help homeless or abandoned Basset Hounds in the Greater Houston Area find "forever" homes and reduce the number of abandoned Basset Hounds through public education. As much as we'd like to immediately accept every Basset Hound into the organization, we depend on volunteer Foster Families and cannot accept more than we can foster. Our first priority must be the Bassets whose time is up at the local animal shelters. They require our immediate attention to save their lives. If you are interested in contributing in any way at all, please contact us!

Lone Star Basset Hound Rescue relies solely on the generosity of wonderful basset lovers. For over a year, supporting our troops in the war effort in the Middle East, and the economy in general, has taken its toll on the donations we’ve received to do our work to save the bassets. Now that Hurricane Katrina has hit, Houstonians have opened their hearts and wallets even further to aid our Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama neighbors. Unfortunately this means even less donations are coming to us. We have reached a point financially where we cannot take in every basset hound that needs rescuing, and it breaks our hearts. We are in dire need of your help! Please help us raise the necessary funds to continue the work we’ve been doing in the past. We are accepting cash donations (a check in the mail / credit card via PayPal below), or enter our 42" Plasma TV raffle, sponsored by Juliet Homes. Perhaps you would rather join our Pledge Per Pup program. Thank you in advance from the basset hounds waiting to be rescued and so wanting a warm, loving forever home.
