Attention all pet lovers (!!!) In celebration of National Dog Month this August the Hush Puppies Team is looking for YOUR help to give back to a breed that means a whole lot to us – our beloved Basset Hound. During the month of August, we have pledged to donate 100% (yes, 100%) of net proceeds from our beanies on Hushpuppies.com to a Basset Hound Rescue.

In early June, we received a letter from a very special woman named Helena Poist, an active advocate for the homeless Basset Hound population. Helena reached out to the brand regarding her local Basset Rescue’s 25th anniversary celebration in Port St Lucie, FL (Happy Anniversary Suncoast Basset Rescue!). Helena wanted to see if the brand was willing to send HP swag for their celebration and of course, we said a giant YES. However, after a few conversations the team felt compelled to do more.

Our goal is to raise awareness for these amazing organizations and volunteers working hard to save and enrich the lives of our furry friends–and of course, raise money to support them, as well. Below you will find a full list of active Basset Rescues in the U.S. that will be eligible for our #BeaniesforBassets donation at the end of August. If you’re on the hunt for a four-legged family member, we highly encourage you to check out our resources below OR stop in to one of your local shelters.

So, to all you pet lovers out there wagging your tails at a great opportunity to give back with the Hush Puppies Team -buy a beanie and support the Bassets!
