NORTH TEXAS BASSET HOUND RESCUE is dedicated to the welfare of basset hounds. Founded in 1984, NTBHR was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the State of Texas in 1997. In 1998, NTBHR was classified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization by the IRS.

NTBHR's general area of rescue is the Fort Worth and Dallas area, but they also cover many shelters in North Texas from Abilene to Waco, and Longview to the Oklahoma border.

Money is spent to insure that the bassets are healthy, neutered or spayed, and treated for heartworms. Rescue volunteers receive no compensation for their countless hours of work and transportation costs. NTBHR is very fortunate to have several veterinarians who provide excellent treatment at a reduced rate.
