Yesterday a precious Basset went to Rainbow Bridge: "Rosie" Mae O'Dogalld - born May 14, 1996 - died February 17, 2010. Rosie attended many Shuffles, and was once the Bassett in the pink wagon with the pink tiara and feather boa at the Shuffle. There use to be pictures of her at that year's shuffle on this site. Her spirit showed through until the last minute. She could no longer see or hear, but would still wag that tail and bark her "happy bark". It got where she could no longer walk a few days ago, but of course she tried. So we took her for an ice cream (she was allowed chocolate on top this time) on the way to the vets office. She went to sleep peacefully on her person's lap. She will be greatly missed.

i foster abbay moon on facebook. love her new pictures. are you sure that someone from michigan can not adopt one of your basset hound? my husband and i removed a basset hound from an abuse home in muskegon, mi 5 years ago. she was down to 8 lbs and that was bad. with all our love and care she started to shine and look great. when my husband passed away in jan. 2007 she attached herself to me. but my ex-boyfriend and his ex-wife refused to let me have her back when i went to pick her up after leaving his house this past march. i miss my rosie so bad. i hope someday to have another basset hound. love those sad eyes, but they are so full of love.

I have a basset that I adopted from a family moving to Europe in Canada. They were so sad to give up their puppy. Otis was only about 4 months old when i got him. It makes me so happy to find people like you who run programs like this one. Basset Hounds make wonderful pets. Mine follows me around my house from room to room. Keep up the wonderful work. Good luck to all of you with the sweet dogs that you have with you right now. You are a special group of people with very warm hearts. I only wish the world knew that this particular breed of dog is exactly that... warm, giving, and so affectionate at times it's stunning.

We are moving into the Wichita Falls area, and are looking forward to adopting a Basset. I know this is not so close to the DFW area, but we saw your site and fell in love! My husband and I have a young Autistic son, who loves doggies, and we believe an older bassett would be a perfect buddy. We are probably going to be moving into an apartment first, so we will contact you all on if adoption is possible while living in apartments. Can't wait to meet our 'hopefully' future hush puppy!

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.

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.

ORVILLE is very happy in his new home. He is such a sweet, good basset hound. We are so blessed to have him. Orville is looking forward to attending the Basset Hound Shuffle and seeing all his friends again!
