As the end of the year approaches and the new one begins, we would like to take this time to thank everyone who has helped make 2025 a successful year for Ohio Basset Hound Rescue!
It has been a challenging year as we have taken in many dogs with expensive medical needs and here at the end of December we are still paying for three dogs who are being treated for heartworm. Dudley and Molly are both already in foster fail homes undergoing treatment and Tank is currently in a foster home undergoing his treatment. We also have Percy Sue Pickles who, when she came in to OBHR, was in such rough shape. She has been nursed back to health by her foster family and is still also going to have eye surgery to remove her ingrown eye lashes.
We have also had some excitement as we welcomed in our few day old “Soda Pup” litter of 7 pups who have since been adopted and thankfully we get frequent updates from their families! If you have adopted any of our dogs and don’t know we have a “private” Facebook group please look it up (links on the website) and join and share updates of your OBHR alumni with the group!
Our spring and winter Facebook auctions, calendar contest, and Bassetfest were all hugely successful and we raised a lot of money in short times thanks to all of our wonderful supporters! Bassetfest was record breaking in attendance and donations!
Thanks to all of our wonderful supporters we adopted out 80 dogs in 2025!!! We cannot do what we do without all of you!!!! From our ladies who process our apps, our transporters, our fosters, our wonderful vet staffs, all who donate items for raffles, all who donate financially, all who bid on our auctions and raffles…we need you all to keep the dogs moving!
As 2025 ends we are finishing off the year still in need as we have about $8,000 we owe our vet currently. A lot of the costs we incur are boarding fees as we don’t have enough fosters homes for the dogs in need. So if you would like to help us with an end of year donation or a donation to start off the new year, we are a 501c3 rescue and all donations are tax deductible! We also love our monthly donors who help us by donating a little bit each month. Please visit our website and check out the tabs to see where we can use help with volunteers and set up monthly donations! Our PayPal and Venmo links are also on the website!
We would also love more foster homes to help us with our adoptable dogs! We ask all fosters to have the same criteria as our adoptive homes so anyone interested (we would love some MI folks as well with all the MI dogs we are taking in after the close of the MI basset rescue) please fill out the adoption application on our website and mark it for foster!
Thank you all so much for your continued support and love for all of our hounds! It takes a village to keep a rescue successful and YOU are our village! From the bottom out hearts and our long ears, thank you!!
