BROOD Fundraisers

For BROOD, fundraising is our lifeline -- it allows us to save as many bassets as we do. In 2010, our intake was 104 dogs; adoptions were 143, and in total we helped 170 dogs (including cross-postings and others in our care). For the year we spent over $134,000 with over $69,000 going toward veterinary costs and $41,000 for kennel fees. So whether you want to make a cash donation, create a memorial, or make a purchase through one of our affiliates, we ask that you please support one or more of BROOD's current fundraising activities.
