Adopt

Hi! I'm Maple (also known as Dana) and I am just about the sweetest girl you could ever meet. I give kisses, hugs, love to cuddle, think I'm a lap dog (I will keep you warm), love belly rubs, ear rubs, heck... you can just love on me all you want to. I get along great with my foster beagle girl sisters (ages 12 and 14). I'm about 5 years old and am spayed. I weigh 45 lbs, so I'm petite and fit. I also do well with foster mom's human grandkids (ages 4, 7, 11, & 13) now, but I was a bit nervous meeting them (and their Dad), at first, but I quickly warmed up to them. The vet said I behaved exceptionally well during my pedicure (I've heard other Bassetts have been known to be fussy about their feet.) I know once you meet me it will be love at first sight, so, hurry up and apply to adopt this soft, fluffy, sweet, lovable furgirl at BellyRubs.org.

This is Bullet. He needs a home as his current family is moving and cannot take him with them. He’s on thyroid meds because he has hypothyroidism. He has some skin issues also. He needs to lose some weight, but that is quite manageable. He is good with other dogs and people. He is about 8 years old. Shots are up to date, current on heartworm and flea. He does fine with other dogs as far as we have seen. He is very vocal when out on his leash, but once he's introduced he is friendly. He actually had a dog run up and bite him once and he just stood there. He currently lives with another dog in the house. Does well with children and strangers. He loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed. Cries if not allowed in bed, but will eventually sleep on his dog bed if told no. Very house trained and crate trained. Likes short walks, but does not have the energy to walk for very long. He is very food motivated which works well for training, but also means that he will hunt down the garbage when your back is turned. We keep the trash can behind a closed door as he can be sneaky when he wants. “ This boy needs a loving home and some TLC. Are you it? Fill out an application at bellyrubs.org and start the process.

Clint is a very sweet fella and has settled in well with his foster mom. Clint walks a little slow and may stumble because our vet thinks he has some neuro deficits from a past embolism or accident. This prompted his cruel owners to drop him at the shelter, and they got a new puppy and didn’t need Clint anymore. But he gets around more than fine and has no incontinence issues. In fact, he often stays in for an entire working day with no accidents. We think he needs a level home without any stairs to maneuver and maybe some other dog friends. He has been nothing but sweet since we pulled him from the shelter. Could you give Clint a chance? There is no better gift than adopting a senior dog and making their last years the best years of their life. The transition into your home will likely be easier with a senior hound as he/she will not need constant monitoring. Show the dog the water and food bowl, the way to outside for potty breaks and the dog bed or couch and the hound is good. You will know the senior’s temperament, as it is already established. A senior hound require less exercise as it will take shorter and less intensive exercise to fulfil the hound’s activity needs. You will skip the wild puppy years, so your shoes and possessions will be safe. Consider a Senior Dog. You won’t regret it as they still have lots of loving and snuggling to give.

Jasper is a big hunk of love. In fact, we would like for him to slim down just a bit. We think some former owner really showed love with food. He loves cuddling and being near his foster mom. He really likes things his way and gets a little nervous if doctors and new folks want to manhandle him too much. He’s getting slimmed down and healthy and ready to be the center of someone’s home. Jasper hangs fine with his foster siblings but prefers people and most of all wants to be the boss and your main squeeze.

We call this guy Charlie the Coyote Fighter. He was left outside to his own devices for most of his life and his owners told us that he likes to “run off the coyotes at night.” Adding insult to injury, he was also regularly chased and aggravated by young children in the family so he needs to be in a home with older children or adults. (And no coyotes please!) He loves the indoor pampered life, as we knew he would, and coexists peacefully with several dog siblings and one nine year old human boy. He deserves a good, easy, spoiled existence from here on out. Do you have room for this sweet fella?

Baxter is 3-5 years old and one of the most gorgeous dogs you will ever meet. He's active and playful and loves to go for walks and just be near his people. He is a rowdy player so older children are best, and we would need to judge homes on an individual basis with other dogs. He loves to play but we would need to discuss and do a meet and greet first. Baxter has not gotten a lot of attention because he's not a full Basset and because he's black, but he's had the good fortune to have had a lot of training from someone we work with, and he's a favorite with them. He's been with us a long time and really deserve a home of his own. Please consider him. He's a great dog. Is your home his forever home? Fill out an application for this bassador at BellyRubs.org.

Jesse is Daisy’s loyal caretaker. These two bonded pair are the sweetest dogs. Jesse, age 7, will make sure Daisy is taken care of before she settles in. And of course, they love to cuddle together. Jesse is still a spunky basset and loves to run around but will gladly stop for food. Boy does she love all things food! Daisy is still a little skittish and has only recently realized that inside the house is ok. I’m sure once she discovers the couch she’ll never leave! Daisy’s favorite thing is to lay outside on a warm patch of grass and suntan. She is a very laid back lady and looking for a nice yard to enjoy! How can you pass up these loyal duo?! You can call these two ebony (Daisy) and Ivory (Jesse), they are their own piano. They need a home with minimal steps.
