Michigan Basset Rescue is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization founded in 1992. Since then, our primary goal has remained
the same: to find permanent homes for bassets in need. MBR does not receive
any local, state, or federal funding. Instead, MBR is funded solely by
private donations and fundraising events. Most of the money we receive
goes toward veterinary care for the rescued bassets, including any required
surgeries, spay/neutering, vaccinations, heartworm teatment and more. Other
expenditures go toward shelter fees, boarding, transportation expenses,
food, grooming, rescue tags, collars, leashes, miscellaneous fundraising
expenses and foster care expenses.
Adopting
A Basset Prospective adoptive families
are interviewed before they adopt a basset. Our adoption
fee varies according to the age of the dog. All bassets
are vaccinated, wormed, spayed/neutered, and screened
for heart worm prior to home placement.Complete information
about our policies, procedures and fees is available
on our Adoption
Center Information page.
Volunteering and Donations We are always in
need of foster homes and for individuals to help with
our fundraisers. If you
would like to be a foster home or volunteer your time in other
ways, you may use our online Volunteering Application or Fostering
Application or send an e-mail to Melissa.
Monetary donations are always
gratefully accepted. If you would like to give a donation
you may use our
online Donation Form. Basset collectibles and other doggy items
that we may use in a raffle or auction are also always appreciated.
