Days : Hours : Min : Sec

Each year on the first Saturday of June, Basset Hound Rescue of San Diego holds their annual fund raising picnic. The 20th annual Basset Rescue Picnic will be held on Saturday June 4th from 10 am to 3 pm at the Allied Gardens Recreation Center at 5155 Greenbrier Ave, San Diego, CA 92120. This is a great location and offers us lots of parking and large areas of shade where we can all spread out and enjoy the wonderful events of the day.

Families can meet up with old Basset friends, swap amusing stories with fellow Basset enthusiasts, shop at the Basset Boutique, or enter the raffle to win fabulous prizes. We will also have the usual bbq stand with burgers and dogs and more... Arooohh!!!

We can also use your help in planning and are looking for volunteers to help out with:

  • Donations for raffle prizes - new items, gift certificates
  • Setting up in the morning
  • Cleaning up at the end of the day
  • Taking videos of the event for the web site

If you can help out please contact If you can't, then stay tuned for updates and remember to mark you calendars now for Saturday June 4th. Your bassets will love you for it!

 

Basset Rescue Picnic

Here is a preview of the type of fantastic raffle prizes that all of our kind supporters donate every year. This was last years fabulous real life state of yours truly Myles.


Bassets frolic in the sun, splash in a wading pool, get a massage, have their photo taken with their family, or compete in contests such as best costume, best howl, longest ears, best trick, owner look-alike, or the ever-popular basset race.

All donations received at the picnic go back into the rescue operation. We are an official non-profit organization so your donations are tax deductible! These funds are needed to cover emergency medical costs, and any other expenses the dogs may incur prior to adoption that are not covered by the $200 donation.

   

MONTHLY BASSET HOUND MEETUP

There is a local Basset Hound Meetup Group that rounds up the hounds for a monthly gathering on the second Saturday of each month at a local dog park (usually in Kearny Mesa). For more information please follow the link below.
