Adoption Application 2024

You are about to complete an application to adopt a Basset Hound. We hope that we are able to match you with the right dog, and that you will give the dog a safe and loving environment for the rest of its natural life. Adopting a dog is a very important step to take, and should only be done after you have thoroughly researched the idea. 

GGBR charges an adoption fee. This fee helps us to meet the medical expenses for all of our hounds. We vet every dog, making sure their vaccinations are current and that the dog is tested for heartworm. We spay or neuter every hound, if necessary, treat any medical conditions, and start our hounds on heartworm and flea preventative. This primary vet care costs us at least $800 per hound. Because we often do more than the minimum and some of our hounds are hospice cases, the average cost per dog in 2023 was $2500. The adoption fee is the minimum recommended -- we welcome additional donations. Fees are discounted for people who adopt bonded pairs, or pairs where one dog is at least 7 years old.

Adoption Fees:

Puppy to 6 months old - $550
6 months to less than 2 years old - $500
2-5 years old - $450
6-9 years old - $400
10 years and older - $350
Adopt a pair (one dog MUST be 7 years or older) - Full price for youngest hound, 75% for older hound
Golden Oldies Program - If you are over 65, adopt a senior hound (10 years and older) - $275
