Basset Hound Rescue

Basset Hound Rescue of Southern
California always welcomes new
volunteers. We could not exist or
continue to save hounds without the
dedication, compassion, and hard
work of our volunteers.

Whether you’re able to volunteer a few
hours a month or you’re willing to open
your home to a hound in need, we can
always find ways for you to contribute
on a meaningful level.

BHRSC is currently seeking volunteers
from throughout Central and Southern
California to fill the following positions:

NEW! GRANT RESEARCHER

Do you enjoy digging up information? Do you get satisfaction from helping animals? Do you have a soft spot in your heart for bassets?

This is what we need: Someone to research organizations for grant funding opportunities, then pass the results along to our grant writers who will determine whether to apply for financial assistance to support our rescue efforts.

… Have a question about this position before you sign on with us? Just ask. We promise we don’t bite at BHRSC.
