What Rob said ^^^^^

 

It should be. The head of the rescue recieved a phone call from an older gentleman Wednesday night where he stated that his basset hound passed away a week ago. She noticed that he called her again yesterday so she returned the call. The guy said that he was sitting in the parking lot of Lowes. He was to buy some Xmas lights because his wife wanted him to hang them while the weather was good. He inidcated that he was crying in the car, and could not go in. HE said that Christmas won't be the same without Henry. She asked him to meet him at the place where the adoption event will be on Saturday so that he could play with the bassests. He did and as they were leaving, the guy said I will see you at 1 on Saturday, and please put a hold on Lucky for me. She is the lemon (white and beige) that his left ahnd is on, and is one of the pups that came in from Cali. Does the guy look like Santa Claus???

 

Oh man. That is the kinda stuff that gives me hope in humanity. That is a good thing you do Neil.

 

Neil, that's awesome bud.

 

Here are a couple more to share.

 

Same here Wade and thanks guys.

 

that's a herd O' Hounds there!!LOL

 

Someone should let the fox out

 

or the rabbits That is what basset mainly hunt.

 

If they are all there, should have around 24 of them at the event.

 

Are they all rescues? Why would people give them up???

 

Yeah they are. They can come into rescue from local shelters that have been owner surrenders due to death of family, moving, financial, strays, puppy mills etc.

We just had one that came into our group a couple of weeks ago. Owner took their 14 week old pup to the emergency vet after it should signs of distress after the pup ingested rat poison. This person was looking at a $2-4K vet bill to try and save the pup so they decieded to have her put down. A vet tech contacted the rescue and we took ownership of the pup and agreed to cover the vet bill. The pup received two blood tranfusions and meds & was released from the vet after 3 days. The pup is doing great and is in foster care to complete her recovery. BTW, she has already been adopted and her name is Hope.

 

Morning New York.

 

Good evening everyone..

What's going on?

 

We used to have a male Basset in our neighborhood. That was a big dog but super short legs. You could always spot his tracks in the snow because his pecker plowed a furrow wherever he went. Poor guy.
