Founded in 2005, the Basset Rescue Network at Daphneyland is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of Basset Hounds. We provide a safe haven for these charming, unforgettable characters to thrive while awaiting their forever families.
Our journey began in 2002 after a passionate group decided to create a permanent home base for hounds in need. Named in honor of a beloved Basset Hound named Daphney, our ranch has spent over two decades evolving into the world’s only Basset-specific rehabilitation center.
Our all-volunteer team works tirelessly to provide proper nutrition, veterinary care, and behavioral support for 75 to 100 hounds at any given time. By fostering a unique pack environment, we focus on the rehabilitation of hounds—including those who are especially difficult—to ensure they are socialized and ready for home life.
We take our responsibility to these dogs very seriously, which is why we invest time in a thoughtful, personal adoption process. Because Basset Hounds are a unique, stubborn, and wonderfully squishy breed, we ask questions and conduct home visits to ensure each placement is a joyful, permanent partnership. This process is our way of making sure you and your new companion are truly prepared for a life-altering, loyal friendship.
Whether you are looking to adopt a new family member, volunteer your time, or donate to support our hungry pack, we invite you to connect with us. Visit our website to view our currently available hounds or reach out to start your adoption application today. We are so proud to call you our friends as we continue this mission of love.
