Our Mission

Our Mission:

  • Rescue hounds in danger of euthanasia from shelters
  • Help hounds that have been removed from neglectful or abusive situations
  • Shelter rescued hounds until a suitable placement can be found
  • Provide basic medical care and training to hounds to make them ready for adoption
  • Educate current and potential hound owners about these breeds
  • Find kind, loving families for rescued, homeless, or abandoned hounds

In its use of the term hounds, Hound Rescue includes all types of hound breeds. Hound Rescue primarily assists in the rescue and placement of beagles, coonhounds (treeing walker, blue tick, redbone, black & tan), and mixes of these breeds. Hound Rescue also assists with rescue and placement of other hound breeds (e.g. basset hounds, bloodhounds, ridgebacks). However, it is less common that we become involved with these breeds due to availability of breed-specific rescues and less overbreeding of these types of hounds.
