Donations
Because we are an
independent non-profit organization, we are funded solely on the generous
donations of people who love dogs -- especially bassets. Your donations are much
needed and much appreciated. All donations go towards the expensive medical care
of our bassets. Many of the bassets that come to us are heartworm positive ($250
- $300 for treatment), need to be spayed or neutered ($25 - $35), need
vaccinations ($15 - $45), an ear cleaning ($18), a heartworm test ($20), fecal
exam for intestinal parasites ($10), an office visit (each one is $15 - $25)and
various other treatments (tumor removal, mange treatment, etc) which all have
their varying costs. Our veterinarians have been generous enough to give us a
reduced cost on medical care, but it is still quite expensive. Each basset is
averaging $300 - $500 worth of treatment. Our adoption fee is $175, so as you
can see, we don't get even half of what we are spending on the dog in the
adoption fee. That is where you come in! You can help by sending us a tax
deductible donation.
We do have
some office supply needs from time to time. We can always use printer paper,
mailing labels and printer cartridges. Otherwise we have to use our funds to buy
the necessary supplies that go into maintaining the paperwork and mailing lists.
Please contact us so we can discuss what we need. Thank you for any help that
you can give us. Call us at: 512/218-8883 Or e-mail webmaster@hhbassetrescue.org We also now accept PayPal. Please click below to donate.
Lend a Helping
Hand
We at Helping Hands Basset
Rescue appreciate any help you can provide. It can be lots of work to care for,
nurture back to health (in some cases), and find good homes for Basset Hounds.
But, it is a rewarding service which is why we took on the responsibility.
Taking in these needy pets requires resources from the time they are
brought into Helping Hands to the time that they are placed into a welcoming and
caring family. In light of that, for the Basset Hounds' sake we ask that you
lend a helping hand to Bassets that aren't as fortunate as maybe your own dog.
Just a small donation can feed one of these homeless pets for several weeks.
Others Ways You Can Help
We
would be interested in anyone who can render veterinarian services for bassets
that need that extra special care because of illness or other health condition
that warrants attention. We would appreciate it very much if you can provide
reduced rates on your services, or if you can donate services from time to time.
Call us at 512-218-8883, or email us at
webmaster if you can help in that capacity.
