About Our Rescue
West Coast Bloodhound Rescue is a non-profit 501c3 volunteer based organization. Our mission as a rescue is to help bloodhounds in need with the end goal of pairing them with their perfect forever home.
We are a specialized breed specific rescue intended mainly for bloodhounds, but we occasionally assist bloodhound mixes. Bloodhounds are not a common breed and have very different needs compared to the more common dog breeds. Unfortunately, because of these special needs, some end up in inappropriate homes where the dog is often misunderstood or the owner has not been properly educated about bloodhounds. Other reasons hounds may find their way into our rescue are life situations that the family or individuals had no control over. No matter the situation or background, finding a forever home for these surrendered bloodhounds is our #1 priority.
Your donations are tax deductible (Tax ID #47-4137913)!
Thank you for your support so far. Unfortunately, 2025 has brought us more Bloodhound surrenders than adoptions. More surrenders means more vet bills and expenses to keep these hounds healthy such as food, toys, leashes, collars, and bedding.
We still have large bills to pay for multiple surgeries for our fosters such as Merle's eye surgery in December, Merle's lifesaving bloat surgery, and Kansas's multiple mouth tumors surgeries (she couldn't eat!) In February, Merle went into full GDV (bloat and torsion) and had to have emergency surgery. Merle survived and is still with us today. These surgeries are in addition to our normal routine surrenders who require spay or neuter or other types of medical care. None of this care would be possible without your help!
We need your help as our funds are running empty. Would you consider donating to us on a monthly basis? Please click on the paypal link below to do so:
