Welcome to BROOD
Since 1996, BROOD has cared for and adopted almost 3,200 dogs with injured bodies, damaged spirits, or broken hearts. Some have been abused or neglected, others left behind when owners moved or passed away. All needed our help. Our dogs will always come first. We are unsparing in our care for our droopy eared, short legged canine friends, helping them find the forever homes they deserve.

What's Happening

The 2021 BROOD Calendar Contest is now over and it is the biggest one we have ever had! We have 12 winners and 4 runners-up, all of whom received more than 1,000 votes each. Your generosity and interest in the contest enabled us to raise $29,158--a new record. We are very thankful to everyone who entered their hounds and all our loyal supporters who voted.
Look for the calendar to be on sale starting in September.

Kinda missed that ball! Can your bassets play ball?
Comment on Facebook Kinda missed that ...
Mine will play with herself. She throws the ball and retrieves it. Lol 😂
When mine got the zoomies, he would toss up a tennis ball and play catch with himself!
Mine does not like any toy. She prefers the personal touch.
Mine will throw her food and chase it. Loves the challenge of taking the cap off a bottle. Otherwise just your typical lazy basset
Our old girl used to play with balls but not play ball
Not ours. Can’t catch a treat either. So sad. 😂
Some can; some can't. After years of observation, I think it may be a function of visual acuity, which may vary significantly from dog to dog.
We recently adopted a beagle/basset from our local shelter. We hope to find him a partner in crime through BROOD at some point.....here he is saying he needs a nap in between fetching his ball.
BROOD's Online Auction is Open! This two classic bassets in a basket print in 11 by 14 inch frame still needs a bid. Bid today! www.biddingowl.com/Auction/index.cfm?auctionID=17231
Luna, former BROOD hound, is relaxing.
