I can't foster, how can I help?

OMBR always has room for more volunteers. After all, without volunteers OMBR would cease to exist. If you are unable to foster a Basset there are several other ways you can help OMBR.

Transportation
There are many reasons OMBR needs transportation volunteers. Although we mainly serve needy bassets in Northwest Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma, when foster home space allows, we take in bassets from other areas. We could always use somebody willing to pick up/meet/drop-off a hound to a foster family. There are times when foster families need help getting hounds to/from the vet. And sometimes OMBR needs help transporting a hound to his forever family. Please keep in mind OMBR is all volunteers, foster homes and other volunteers have jobs and family commitments just like everyone else.

Home Visits
OMBR requires that all foster homes and adoptive homes have a home visit. We perform home visits to assure dogs and people are adjusting nicely. This is also gives potential foster homes and adoptive families a chance to ask questions. Home visits usually take 30 minutes or less, and OMBR will provide you with a simple form to fill out during the home visit.

Supply Donations
OMBR is always in need of supplies. Supplies include: collars, leashes, food bowls, crates ("large" size), towels, blankets, food, treats, chews, and toys. These items do not have to be new or in perfect condition, just safe and usable.

Monetary Donation
OMBR always welcomes monetary donations that are used to off set the cost of veterinary care. Monetary donations are 100% tax deductible.
