Announcing DaphneyLand’s
NEW Sustainability Program!

Without YOU, DaphneyLand does not exist. Only because of the kindness and generosity of our donors are we able to do what we do. We have now made it easier than ever for you to help us help the hounds by joining our Sustainable Giving Program. Want to be a belly rubber? A food slave? A Basset masseuse? Claim your title! Remember – every little bit helps. Please CLICK HERE to get started.

What is DaphneyLand?

A picture is worth a thousand words. If you’re not familiar with Daphneyland or you are considering a donation or adopting a Basset, we invite you to watch the following. This is why we do what we do.

Your donation goes straight to work, helping all the dogs at Daphneyland. Thank you for caring about the animals! We are faced with a hundred hungry animals every day - not to mention vet care, etc. DaphneyLand is a 501(c)3 and your donations are tax-deductible (Thank you to our Fiscal Sponsor Golden Empire Basset Rescue EIN #32-0198167).

Start the adoption process here. We love and care about our animals so yes, the is a "process." We don't want our hounds to go from one bad situation to another, so we hope you understand. There is an application. There are vet checks and home visits. Please understand - we don't adopt to just anyone. We need to get to know you a little before we entrust you with something so precious.

There are some really interesting folks out there who are "into" Basset Hounds. Just as this is a strange and wonderful breed, they attract strange and wonderful people. What we do on this page is share with you some of the really cool folks we have come across. People we are proud to call our friends and who have helped us in our journey. We hope you enjoy meeting them as much as we did.

Yeah, we're kinda famous. Or at least the hounds are. This close to Hollywood, when people in the business suddenly decide they need a Basset Hound, it's a wonderful opportunity to showcase what we do, develop partnerships with people, and get the word out. Here, we have dedicated an entire page to all the times we have been called upon to participate in one project or another - and the results have been fantastic!
