basset rescue of old dominion (brood) was formed in the fall of 1996 by a small group of basset hound lovers who wanted to offer a more customer friendly approach to adopting a basset. brood finds homes for around 150 basset hounds every year. for a pdf brochure about brood that you can print, click here.

JOIN BROOD. You can become a member of BROOD and have a voice in rescue. Membership gives you our daily emailed newsletter, voting privileges at our annual meeting and an invitation to attend our members-only picnic in the summer.

DONATIONS to BROOD are critical to our survival. Our veterinary costs are skyrocketing and adoption fees only cover a fraction of our actual expenses. If you would like to make a donation to BROOD that could make a difference for a homeless hound, please follow this fundraising link for instructions on how you can help. We accept donations by snail mail, or we now provide the convenience of PayPal for online donations. BROOD is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization so your donations are deductible to the full extent of the law.
