WAYS TO GIVE
One-Time Donations
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide essential medical care, safe shelter and loving care for these gentle souls. Your kindness ensures that any basset hound in need can receive the attention and compassion they deserve as they journey toward a brighter future. For the love of the breed, join our community and become a hero to those who need it most and help turn hope into a new beginning for these wonderful hounds in need.
Make your gift a tribute to honor or remember a friend, loved one, a cherished pet or a Forever Foster Hound and SBR will send a note to family of the honored.
Monthly Donations
Basset hounds in need rely on your generosity for rescue, rehabilitation, and shelter. Most often, SBR is a basset’s last option – they have no other place to go. Because of you, SBR doesn’t hesitate to come to the aid of a basset in need of any age, in any condition.
Please consider becoming a monthly donor as a member of SBR’s GEM program. Your support saves basset lives and gives them the second chance to live as they were intended – as someone’s best friend.
The amount you specify will be deducted from your account automatically each month. You may cancel your membership at any time here.
Thank you for joining us in this commitment.
Forever Foster Guardian
At Suncoast Basset Rescue, most of our hounds are lucky enough to find their forever homes – but some need a different kind of forever. These are our Forever Fosters – special hounds who, due to age, medical needs, or behavioral challenges, will never be adopted but instead remain in loving foster homes for the rest of their lives.
You can make a lasting difference in their lives and help give them the second chance they deserve by becoming a Forever Foster Guardian through a monthly sponsorship. Your generous gift will help cover the cost of ongoing medical care, prescription diets, and all the love they need to thrive in the permanent foster homes.
Your support ensures these Forever Fosters live out their days with dignity, comfort, and endless belly rubs. You may cancel your sponsorship at any time here.
You can’t change their past – but you can give them a beautiful forever. Be their Guardian today.
