Welcome to BROOD
Since 1996, BROOD has cared for and found homes for over 3,555 basset hounds and basset mixes through 2025. Some have been abused or neglected, others needed rescue when owners moved or passed away or could no longer care for their hounds. We are now in our 30th year of rescue.

Featured Dog
Buddy
Buddy is an 11-year-old Basset mix with a gentle soul, a curious nose, and a love for the simple things in life. This handsome fellow enjoys leisurely walks, relaxing in the yard, and stretching out for a cozy nap in his favorite bed after a day of exploring. Buddy may have a few gray hairs, but he still gets excited the moment he sees his leash and is always ready for an adventure. Like a true Basset, he can be delightfully stubborn, especially if he's decided he's not quite finished enjoying the outdoors.
Buddy is a low-key companion who would love a peaceful home where he can settle into a predictable routine. He enjoys meeting the world at his own pace and can be cautious when new people first arrive, often announcing visitors with a few barks before relaxing once he realizes everything is okay. He loves sniffing around the yard, watching squirrels and birds, and playing a good game of tug-of-war with his favorite rope toy. Once the day winds down, Buddy is happiest curled up in a comfy bed, content just being near his people.
Buddy is looking for a forever family who will help him thrive during his golden years. He would do best as the only dog in the home, as he prefers not to share high-value items like chew bones or toys, and he would be happiest with adults or a family with older, dog-savvy children. A securely fenced yard is important because Buddy loves to follow his nose and explore his surroundings.
If you're searching for a loyal, mellow companion who enjoys quiet walks, peaceful evenings, and plenty of love, Buddy is ready to become your very best friend. Contact BROOD today to meet Buddy! His adoption fee is $150.00.
