Paddles & Paws
We're thrilled to announce an exciting outing/fundraiser to benefit SBR's Forever Foster Guardian Program!
SBR is partnering with Kayak Eco Tours to offer a 2-hour guided tour of the Peace River in Arcadia. Paddlers and non-paddlers alike can participate - sponsor, double kayak, single kayak, BYO kayak, donate - something for everyone!
Non-paddlers (and bassets) are welcome to mix and mingle
at the Deep Creek Park Pavilion or take a walk on nearby
walking trails. SBR will provide drinks & snacks. BYO picnic
or buy lunch at nearby Nav-A-Gator Bar & Grill for a
post-kayak group lunch at the Pavilion.
Only 13 sponsorships available (one per Forever Foster!),
and kayaks are also limited,
so reserve your spot (and donate) today.
All participants will receive a custom-designed leather keychain as a memento of the event, and sponsors will also receive a swag bag full of SBR-branded goodies!
Suncoast Basset Rescue’s goal is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find a forever home for any basset hound in Florida who needs us
- stray, abandoned, sheltered, owner surrender – just for the love of the breed. In doing this, we bring health and happiness to both the hound and to the humans who give a basset a home. Our organization gives bassets a second chance to live as they were intended – as someone’s best friend.
GIVE TODAY
Basset Hounds in need rely on your generosity for rescue, rehabilitation,
and shelter -- because of you, we don’t hesitate to come to the aid of a basset in need. Make a difference and donate today. Your support saves basset lives and gives them a second chance at life.
We make a difference in the lives of these wonderful dogs because of our incredible foster homes.
ADOPT
When you adopt a
dog, you save a life.
SBR puts in a lot of
time and effort into each of our bassets because the goal of our rescue is to place every one of our hounds in their final and forever home. There’s a perfect match for everyone and every family. And, fortunately, we have found wonderful basset homes all over Florida.
FOSTER
Do you have it your heart to love and help a basset?
Then you may be a good
foster home. We have a need, RIGHT NOW, for more foster homes. Fostering a basset hound will be one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. A foster takes in a stray, unwanted, or neglected basset, provides it a safe and loving home and gives the hound the time needed to be ready for adoption.
By providing a forever foster home, SBR also comes to aid of bassets diagnosed with a serious illness or a behavioral issue like sever anxiety. Our forever foster bassets will remain with SBR to live out their final days with medical care, comfort and love from their foster family. Please consider becoming a monthly donor as A Forever Foster Guardian by virtually adopting your forever foster. Your commitment will help support the care of this wonderful basset.
