Lost and Found

Lost and Found

If you have found a basset hound with a red heart NTBHR tag on it, please call the phone number on the tag. If you have found a basset in your neighborhood, we recommend that you immediately post signs, and then if no one responds, call Animal Control to come pick up the dog. This is the first place an owner will look for their dog, and the fastest way to reunite the dog with it's owner. Do not keep the dog at your home, because the owner will not be able find the dog at your home.
Then please send us an e-mail to tell us which shelter has the dog, and give them our information as well, so that they can call us if the dog is in need of rescue.

It is a truely horrible feeling to not know where your best friend is. As a rule, you always want to contact your local Animal Controls, Shelters and Humane Society's immediately. If none of them think they have your dog, GO CHECK FOR YOURSELF! Many times a simple case of miscommunication could make the difference between finding your pal and not! We also recommend making up a few flyers before you head to the shelters so you can ask if you are allowed to post a "missing" flyer. Post that flyer everywhere!! Local vets, pet stores, banks, grocery stores, etc. Anywhere that will let you. There are numerous sites dedicated to helping you get your pal back safe and sound if you aren't successful with the above suggestions:
