Looking for a good home for a 5 year old Basset Hound that we rescued. His name is Luke and he is good with both dogs and people. He loves to play, go for walks, or just sit on the coach snoozing....

I wanted to give everyone an update on Sidney, the "blind" puppy we got in a few weeks ago. At his first vet visit we found out that Sidney has five congenital defects. He has microopthalmia(his eyes are too small for his skull) and congenital cataracts. Between the two he has about 30% vision. He has skeletal issues, front and back legs, undecended testicles, and his bottom jaw is 1" shorter than his top jaw.

Despite all of this he is THRIVING! He is always happy, full of energy, plays, runs around with the other bassets, plays with the cats, and just has no clue he has disabilities.

Sidney needs some work. He will need a complicated neuter because of the undecended testicles. He will also need to have his bottom canines pulled because they hit the roof of his mouth and will eventually cause sores if not removed. After these issues are cared for, Sidney will make someone a WONDERFUL companion.

If you would like to contribute to Sidney's recovery we can accept donations via PayPal at

***Update: we have this puppy and he is safe. We are still looking for the perfect place for him, and we will be getting back to everyone, but we had over 50 responses to potential fosters and it will take us a while to go through them.

In the meantime we found out a few new things about this boy. He can see a little bit! He's not 100% blind, at least not at this point. He has malformed back legs, a known genetic defect in bassets. His mobility is fine, he just wobbles a bit. He also has an overbite. Mostly though he's a happy, loveable puppy. We will post more updates soon so watch our page.

Looking for an emergency foster or foster-to-adopt situation for this 4 month old basset puppy. This is the puppy that was found off of Convoy st. His stray hold is up and we can now pull him because he was not claimed. Sadly, we believe he was deliberately dumped because THIS PUPPY IS BLIND. He has been blind since birth. Blind dogs do very well once they learn their environment, but this puppy will require a little extra patience from it's foster/adopter. Please help us give this boy the life he deserves. Message us for a foster application.

While we normally deal in basset hounds and basset mixes, we do sometimes take in other hounds. This beautiful and very pregnant beagle is at the Carlsbad shelter on a stray hold. We have a temporary foster available for the birth and the first few weeks, but we need a backup foster to possibly take the pups once they are weaned but before they are adopted. We will also need to adopt out the puppies. Please message us if you can help.

Update: Foster Found! Thank you to everyone, we will be contacting everyone who applied because we have more Hounds coming in!

Foster home needed ASAP for this girl. She's about middle aged and very sweet and that's about all we know about her. Please message us if you would like to foster, or foster-to-adopt this baby!

Hi everyone! Thank you for your patience with all of us here at SDBHR. It's been an insane 2 months, we have been contacted for 16 rescues in the last 7 weeks. That's an absolute record for us. It's been crazy, and I know a lot of you may have contacted us and we haven't had a chance to get back to you. We apologize, we are simply buried at the moment. We are trying to get back to everyone!

Our most desperate need right now, besides funds which we always need, is foster homes. Our foster homes are all bursting at the seams and we don't want to say no to any Hounds. This senior girl is in Mexico and needs rescue. Until we have a foster home for her we cannot commit to taking her. Please, if you have room for this beautiful girl either as a foster until she can be adopted, or in a foster-to-adopt situation, please message us ASAP!
