About BASSET BUDDIES RESCUE OF TEXAS

Basset Buddies Rescue of Texas is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit, established in 2007 and based in the Houston/Fulshear area, devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Basset Hounds across Houston and surrounding regions. The organization places incoming dogs in foster homes, provides necessary veterinary care (vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment when needed), and uses application, vet-check and home-visit processes to match each hound with an appropriate forever family. The organization's EIN (20-8604498) is associated with its Form 990 filings and nonprofit profiles; recent years show active operations and fundraising (notably multi-year Form 990/990-EZ filings and community fundraisers). Basset Buddies is active in fundraising and community outreach (monthly meet-and-greets and calendar sales) and reports a multi-year record of dogs saved and demonstrated financial stewardship while operating with volunteer leadership and no paid officers listed on recent returns.
