North Texas Basset Hound Rescue, Inc. is dedicated to the welfare of basset hounds. We were founded in 1984 and later formed as a committee under The Basset Hound Club of Greater Fort Worth. In 1997, NTBHR was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the State of Texas. North Texas Basset Hound Rescue, Inc. is organized for the following purposes:
* Prevent cruelty to animals, specifically basset hounds;
* Support animal welfare by locating and retrieving homeless, unwanted and/or mistreated basset hounds;
* Provide necessary funding for medical care, spaying and neutering, for unwanted and/or mistreated basset hounds; and
* Place homeless, unwanted, and or mistreated canine basset hounds in permanent, loving homes.
