Fred fka Dennis has been with us 4 years. He was my son's 18th birthday present. Fred has the house under his control. He gets a walk every morning before we leave for work. My younger son takes him out at noon and then goes to college and then he gets a walk when Mom gets home from work and then at least 2 more walks before bedtime. He has learned to get his rawhides out of the bag and hides them everywhere to make sure he keeps a supply around. All the kids in the neighborhood know who Fred is and stop to get a kiss and fred knows a hug is coming too. He loves to ride in the car and go to the park and run around the baseball field. He is a very spoiled fella and knows how to get his way.

I am now in the process of trying to adopt a basset by the name of Samson, I am so excited and I have be praying trouble time that Samson will soon become a member of my family. I do not understand how anyone can look into the eyes of a Basset and not fall completely in love. I can't wait to start spoiling my precious little angel. Thank you for loving animals like you do and working so hard in finding them a happy and safe home. God bless all of you.

We are the adoptive parents of Chelsea II, 10-31-2007. Farful the Wonder Dog is Chelseas new brother, and they get along far past any expectation we may have had. We found that this type of dog needs the companionship of other dogs and not just human contact. We would strongly urge others to consider finding companionship for their single Basett masters. Chelsea II has been a blessing and well received sweety by her new partner Farful the Wonder Dog, a rescue also. Thanks for the kindness you show these sweet animals.

Joni and I perused your website this evening and were marvelously entertained! I didn't know that were people out there like us who gave their basset full names? Ours is 'Daffodil Rose Heinz.' We laughed out loud at some of the funny photos and were touched by many of the stories. Thank you for your works sake. Johnny & Joni Frazier

We adopted "Mr Bassett" whom we renamed Duke from Cleburne Animal Shelter July 3, 2006. He was very sick with pneumonia, kennel cough, bacterial infection probably from running in the rain. He hate THUNDER. After 4 wks of treatment he was vaccinated, and neutered. He is completely housebroken, shares inside with 1 austrailian shepherd Bandit (rescue dog) and 5 adults Cats all rescued. He loves to play outside, sniff, sniff, sniff, I am sure that is how he got lost the first time. All of our animals wear collars with names and addresses. They enjoy each other. Sleep with either other. Basset dogs are the most friendly gentle canines except for their powerful paw pads! Enjoy yours today and adopt one. You won't be sorry. They are adorable.

We rescued FARFUL the Bassett Hound from Arlington Humane Society, June 2005, as a rescue, Country Acres Kennels. He is a very active and gentile fella. We are considering a companion for him, but do not know if he will allow another dog in "HIS" house. We had Wired Haired Fox Terrorist for many years, and were quite supprised at the domain building and high activity level of the boy. Thanks for listing.

Hello all, I have a basset hound that has recently hurt his back and has a bulging disk which is causing him to become paralyzed. Does anyone have history with this or have any reccomendations? I open to any help that any may have.

We contacted the Rescue in our ares, Sugarland, TX, but could not locate what we wanted. We loved Rufus so much because he loved us and trusted us, unconditionally. What a bright time in our lives when we found him, and I hope to have another.

Here is something I wrote for my old Basset. Thought I would share it. My Dog In Heaven For Maggie 09/05/91 - 06/23/02 Animals can't get in Heaven I've heard some people say I'm going to tell you I don't think it's that way. Our good dog left us A short time ago She's waiting on us in Heaven As we continue life below. It's really not so sad She's been given all she enjoys All her favorite things in life Including those doggie toys. She has a big tall chair So she can sit way up high It even has a nice soft pillow And she sleeps below a clear blue sky. She has lots of kitties To remind her of home So when she needs a playmate She doesn't have far to roam. Her days are filled with playing With dogs and cats and such So her time without us Doesn't seem so much. But when we go to bed That's when I miss her most She used to lay beside me And some nights I feel her close. One day we'll all be together This may take some time But I can not wait to hold her And read to her this rhyme.

I adopted my dog from N. Texs Bassset Hound Rescue in October 2005, soon after my beloved Penny, also a rescue basset, had passed away. Greta, who was called Rosie by the rescue society, is the greatest ! She is doing wonderfully. I'm sorry I never contacted y'all. Shortly after I got her, I had all these things come upin my life..I even missed the 2006 Shuffle. I don't have digital camera to send pictures yet, but she is beautiful..She is also extremely well-behaved and , of course, adorable. Thank you soo muchN. Texas Basset Hound..I'm sending a donation. I hope to become a volunteer & help in thenear future.

Our Buddy lost his battle to lymphoma on November 21, 2006. He was only 6 1/2 years old but we loved every minute we had with him. Buddy was my daughter's best friend and she sleeps with his blanket. We had him euthanized as he was in pain and no longer ate-truly amazing for Buddy. We held him as he passed on and cried for days. There is an emptiness in our home now without Buddy but there will always be a warm spot in our hearts for being fortunate enough to have Buddy in our lives.

I took our 15 year old male bassett hound "Boomer" to be put to sleep today. He was my very best friend through it all. I miss him already

North Texas Basset Hound Rescue, Just wanted to say THANK YOU for putting Bess on your web page. I adopted her from the Sachse Animal Control last Wednesday and I am completely hooked on Basset's now. She is such a little lady and an awesome companion. She loves to ride in the car with me, great with other dogs and even good with my Hurricane Katrina cat, Louie. I can�t imagine life without her now. She loves having her ears washed daily and belly rubs and being brushed. She even still loves to play with toys and play fetch. Lori at the Sanchse Animal control was nice enough to stay 2 hours after work for me to drive there. HUGS from Bess and I, Lori!!!! I am ready for a companion for Bess now (did I mention I am hooked) Thanks NTBHR!!!!!!! Hope to hear from you soon!

We are enjoying the wonderful world of Basset hounds. We adopted Daisy Mae in march of 2006 and we're just delighted with her. Our 3 yr old son and our cat Muck enjoy her also. Our other cat, Tigger, still isn't sure about her. We are discussing adopting another Basset in the near future so Daisy will have company when I start working.

Looking for a bassett and found this sight it is really neat.

Message From: Dana & Roxanne February 24, 2006
We adopted "Mr. Tanner" on Oct 24, 1998. He was known as Bud, then and was about 2 years old, a bag of bones and scared of everything from wandering alone for so long and from who knows what. He came to live with us and Jazzy, his life-long companion. The last two years he became the best buddy of our beautiful red headed grandaughter. It was only a few short weeks ago that we found out that Tanner had a tumor on his spleen. Unfortunately, the cancer had already spread into his lymph nodes. He got to take one last ride in Dad's truck and go to the park before going on to the vet's office. Tanner blessed us beyond words during his 8 years with us. He never did learn to howl - as we thought he might eventually. We all miss him dearly.

Message From: chloe bagget February 22, 2006
I am looking for help. Just got chloe and had her checked yesterday(Feb 21,2006)found out she has heart worms. She is about a year and a half. just precious.but we cannot afford cost or time to spend with her if she had treatments.breaks my heart. I guess you could say we rescued her from her previous owner. She just had a litter about 8 weeks ago. She was just about to starve. So I spent money to buy her. I hope their is someone out there who will take her and spoil her, plus get her treated. Thanks

Message From: Debra Morse January 4, 2006
Just visiting...Haven't visited the web site since adopting Daisy Mae. Looks great, but, it's very sad to see that there are always bassets needing to be rescued. Thanks NTBHR for all your hard work in rescuing and finding homes for these wonderful creatures.

Message From: Vic December 13, 2005
Fantastic job all you volounteers are doing! Too bad adoptions overseas are impossible, I´d take them all. But already have two, maybe that´s enough for now.

Message From: Prince Charlie Daniels December 7, 2005
Charlie had such a wonderful time at the Basset Shuffle. We had to leave early b/c he was tuckered out. Before we left he was the fastest in the 10yd dash...I wonder if anyone beat him? We are sitting by the fire on this cold December day; Merry Christmas. Paul and Mary Dainty

Message From: Jordan Maples November 4, 2005
