Once approved, you’ll schedule a meet-and-greet with the puppy of your choice. If you’re a Florida senior and wish to adopt a Basset Hound or another senior puppy, apply for the Senior for Senior program. The shelter will supply your dog’s veterinary bills and food; all you have to do is spoil your companion. South Florida Hound Rescue is based out of Pompano Beach and is one of Florida’s newest Basset Hound rescues. They were established in 2019 to rescue homeless and at-risk dogs in the southern part of Florida. The team specializes in rehabilitating and rehoming hounds and hunting dogs.
Andy joined our team because he believes that words are powerful tools that can change a dog’s life for the better. You can support this program by adopting or fostering a dog or donating to the cause. You’ll need to fill out an application form, and a home visit is required.
Adoption fees will be disclosed as you proceed through the adoption steps. Dogs will be spayed or neutered before they’re adopted, and your puppy will be thoroughly vet-checked, up to date on vaccinations, and dewormed. Heidi’s Legacy Dog Rescue is the last on our list of Florida’s best Basset Hound rescues. While they don’t specialize in hounds, you’ll find quite a few hounds available from time to time through Heidi’s Legacy. These puppies are in their last years and want a forever home to enjoy in comfort.
The Roland team will let you know of any issues you should be aware of, and you can view each dog’s bio by clicking on their picture. Fosters and adoptive families are welcome to apply using the forms on the shelter website. You must be at least 24 years old, and it’s preferable if you have a fenced yard.
