 All Ears Basset Sanctuary Foster Home Application

A successful foster home depends on both the selection of the right Basset for your household and the understanding of the Basset’s caretaking needs.  So that we may assist you with this selection, please answer the following questions as completely as possible.

All information is kept confidential and is used only for the purpose of our operations.

The Rescue often accepts Bassets that have been strays and therefore we do not know their background.  For this reason and to make sure our foster homes and their fosters remain safe, we do not allow families with children 6 years of age or younger to foster.

When you have finished filling out the form, please review the Foster Care Agreement.

If you have problems with the fostering application or it will not go through, please print out the form and fax it to 505-341-0519 or mail it to:

All Ears Basset Sanctuary

4100 Hawkins St NE Ste B
