Our Service Area

We cover the
Tri-State area of Northern Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. If you are outside of that area - please use the Contact Us form to request the name of a rescue in your area. We'll be glad to refer you to one that is near you.

A successful fostering experience depends on both the selection of the right Basset for your household and the understanding of his/her care-taking needs. In order to assist us with this process, please answer the following questions as completely as possible.
