Overview

Mission

Suncoast Basset Rescue (SBR) rescues Basset Hounds from stray, abusive, abandoned and sheltered situations. SBR gives Basset Hounds a second chance to live as someones best animal friend.

What it reported doing in 2025

Suncoast Basset Rescue took in 100 dogs during FY 2025. We took care of their medical needs, provided loving foster homes, training/socialization as needed, and obtained forever homes for 85 dogs. We have an average of about 14 permanent foster dogs. These dogs are unadoptable due to age, health conditions, and/or behavior disorders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
