 Welcome to Golden Empire Basset Rescue, Inc.
*********************************************** WE HAVE PUPPIES!!!Early this morning Miss Lucy delivered her puppies. Lucy is the proud momma of eight puppies. More information and updates to follow after things calm down. http://firstgiving.com/puppiespuppiespuppies **********************BIG NEWS - GEBR HAS PUPPIES ON THE WAY!!!Thank you so much to Kendra & Steve from Gilroy who welcomed momma Lucy with open arms. Pups are due in 2-3 weeks. Lucy is a bagel (a basset/beagle mix), a very cute and sweet bagel, found as a stray and unclaimed... her pregnancy was a huge surprise to the people who found her and who were totally unequipped to keep her and a litter and they turned to Rescue for help. GEBR will be starting a FirstGiving page to help pay for their care... watch this space. In the meantime, follow Lucy's BLOG that Kendra is keeping up - (CLICK HERE) - for photos and news! ****UPDATE****Jill Peterson is out of hospital and beginning recoveryShe is slowly picking up the pieces and wants to thank all of those who donated funds to help pay for kenneling at her vet office during the emergency. She recuperated at Daphneyland and owes a huge thank you to Dawn Smith for her nursing care... and for taking her rescue dogs once they could be moved! Funds are, of course, still very welcome, especially with the pups on their way! Please use the PayPal button on the left hand side to donate urgently! Or use the Firstgiving page that has been set up specially for this crisis... click HERE ************************************
GEBR IS IN CRISIS!! Due to the lack of foster homes, GEBR may soon no longer be able to take in homeless bassets. Foster homes are vital to help us continue our work with homeless bassets. Golden Gate Basset Rescue is full themselves after taking in and finding foster homes for 61 bassets. Once again Basset Rescue Network, Inc (Daphneyland) has bailed us out but they can no longer keep doing so. They have their own large area to cover and 100 hounds to care for. Please help us cover our own area & save basset lives. Fostering is not easy & is not for everybody. Read our foster information page HERE. If you would like to be part of rescue and do one of the most rewarding jobs in rescue contact: Jill at jpx@sbcglobal.net or Dian at golden_empire@att.net Other positions are also available. If you have a specific job or skill that you would like to put to use please contact us at the above email adresses. THANK YOU *************************************
Please take the time to browse our site, check out whether adoption of a Basset Hound is right for you, and/or see how you can help in other ways. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact golden_empire@att.net
GEBR is proud to be a member of West Coast BROAD (Basset Rescue Organizations Allied Division) - a basset rescue network of 501(c)(3) organizations based on the west coast of the USA, that works together to ensure that every possible hound is rescued.
Highlighted Dogs
See all the Dogs! 
Maggie is a 2 1/2 year old basset hound. She is spayed and up to date on her shots. Maggie has been moved from home to home quite a bit in her young life and as such she is a bit timid when meeting new people and dogs. We would not recommend Maggie for a home with very young children. Maggie prefers women over men and her personality is best described as moody and pouty. She will test the boundarys and rules. Maggie will need a stable routine and home life.&nb...read more about Maggie
