Sadly, Lizzie's life companion, Roscoe, went to the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday, April 23, 2008.
The link below is a tribute to Roscoe's memory, created by his foster "mom", which so beautifully describes the effect these wonderful hounds have on our lives.
Thank you, Stacy, for sharing your heart with our hounds!

LIZZIE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Roscoe and Lizzie were a very gentle and sweet bonded pair, whose owners were unable to care for them. Roscoe unfortunately, was too sick to make it through all of his medical procedures, but Lizzie still has hope.
Lizzie is a tri-color, with a mostly brown face, and pretty red freckles throughout her white front.
Lizzie has been quite sick, and will still have to undergo expensive and painful heartworm treatments.
These two bassets have incurred out of the ordinary veterinary expenses for NTBHR, so we would like to give all of the basset lovers out there a chance to help.
Please make a donation through their Firstgiving web page, and forward it to all of your friends and co-workers! We need about $2000.00 to cover their expenses.

FOSTERING SAVES LIVES
NTBHR relies on volunteer fosters to care for our rescued Basset Hounds. We do not have a shelter facility. In a foster home our dogs are a part of an actual family. This enables each dog to become well socialized with other dogs and people. This interaction provides a healthier environment for the dog, ultimately enabling a smoother transition into an adoptive home where children and other dogs are likely.
Fostering is a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Not only do foster parents nurture and care for their dog, there is the added benefit of receiving the love and attention right back from the dog you nurture. Many families foster as a way to teach their children about compassion and responsibility.
People who choose to foster feel good knowing they are making a difference, every minute and every day, in the life of a Basset. Their time spent with a little inconvenience turns quickly into a rewarding, educational, challenging, and fun experience they will never forget. While it's true that fosters do get very attached to their animals, they also find a special joy in sending a pet to a wonderful new family.
We are in urgent need of additional foster families. If you would like to become a foster home for NTBHR, please complete our foster application and our foster coordinator will contact you. There are few acts more heart-warming than helping to save the life of a loving Basset Hound.
