Adopt a Basset Hound in New Jersey

Basset Hounds are easygoing, gentle, and famously stubborn scent hounds with their iconic low-slung build. They appear in rescue when their drool, shedding, and stubbornness surprise owners. A rescued Basset is a patient, sweet, and quietly funny companion.

New Jersey's rescue dog community is highly active, with organizations across the state running on transport from Southern shelters. Newark, Trenton, and the shore communities have particularly active networks. A rescued New Jersey dog has typically traveled significantly to reach its new home.
