Carolina Basset Hound Rescue is joining us for their very first Spring Fling this year, but they are not new to Unleashed! In fact, they will scrub-a-dub-dub your dirty dog this summer! Mark your calendar for 6/20 from 1-4 pm when Carolina Basset Hound Rescue will take over the dog wash at Unleashed at Lake Boone (Lake Boone Trail/Wycliff Rd. Raleigh) and do the washing for you! It is one of our favorite fundraisers- you bring a dirty dog, leave with a clean dog, and the rescue raises funds to save more dogs!! That's what we call a WIN-WIN-WIN!!!
Speaking of saving dogs, CBHR was founded in 1993 and is a volunteer-staffed 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted basset hounds in both North and South Carolina.
Carolina Basset Hound Rescue works to save basset hounds from neglect, abuse, and abandonment. CBHR is committed to eradicating unnecessary euthanasia for basset hounds. They provide health screenings and medical services such as spay/neuter, and heartworm disease treatment. The rescues are then placed in foster homes to promote emotional healing, proper socialization, and provide a safe place for recovery. Their final goal is to match basset hounds to the perfect forever homes.
CBHR's Mission:
"To rescue, rehabilitate and rehome unwanted basset hounds in North Carolina and South Carolina."
Happy Tails: In 2025, CBHR took in 55 new dogs and completed 63 adoptions!
Adoption Highlight:
Meet Buddy and Beau, a bonded pair that came into the rescue because their elderly owner could no longer take care of them. They're both around 6 years old and looking for a new home where they can stay together.
Check out their bios and see if they are the right fit for you!
