if you have a basset that you need to give up, please read through all the links on this page - they describe our policy on dogs that can no longer be kept by their owners

• About Giving Up your Dog
• BROOD's Policy on Owner Relinquished Dogs
• BROOD's Owner Referral Dog Information Form (must be completed for referrals or relinquishments)
• Owner Referral Dog Photo Information (info about getting good photos for our website)
• Owner Relinquished Dog Release Form (use only if you must turn your dog over to BROOD) (requires free Adobe Acrobat Reader)

• Financial Resources for Veterinary Bills (if you feel you have to give up your dog because of veterinary expenses, there are resources that may be able to help)

After reading this information, if you still feel that you still have no alternative, you may contact BROOD for assistance. Your dog must meet all of the conditions outlined in the BROOD Policies, and you must complete and sign the Referral Dog Information Form and return it to BROOD.

Please note that in order to cover our costs, BROOD requests a donation from owners relinquishing their dogs to us.
