Adopt a Basset Hound in Utah

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.

Utah's rescue dog community is active across Salt Lake City, Provo, and Ogden. The state is home to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, one of the country's largest no-kill organizations. A rescued Utah dog often comes from one of the state's well-resourced rescue networks.
