Stitch the Basset Shepherd (just our guess) likes to stick close to his peeps, loves to cuddle up right in your personal space, and likes it best when you are home with him. He loves bones, kongs, ropes, sticks and many other toys. Stimulation is key for this foster baby! He waits for treats very patiently and takes them out of your hand very gently. He's fully housebroken in his current home! He loves all things people and has done very well around children too. He needs people who are patient and understanding as he's still learning what it means to be a pet but his heart is made of gold. For more info on Stitch, please apply! BellyRubs.org

Trudee is a beautiful Basset girl in the range of 4-7 years old, likely on the younger side of that. She's funny and playful and sweet but she can be an alpha and get bossy with others. She needs an experienced Basset owner who can keep her gently in line and curb her boss tendencies a bit. She lives with multiple other dogs currently. She's a classic tricolor and will be a great companion for the right family.

The perfect gentleman. He’s been around and knows the importance of a good nap and a good friend. We took Shiloh in temporarily while we looked for a partner Beagle group to help him but his foster home liked him so much that we decided to put him up for adoption. The shelter found his owner who had already given him away to another owner who didn’t want him. He deserves way better. How a dog like him doesn’t have someone who loves him tons is hard to understand. Maybe someone did once. He’s easy. Loving. Sweet. So happy to be out of the shelter and safe and fed. If you want a great companion, it doesn’t get much better than Shiloh.

“Chester is really high maintenance...NOT!!! He is a sweet and gentle soul. Would be great for a retired couple or anyone who wants a sweet hound without all the energy of a pup but still lots or years left at 7 years old. Get your application in for this sweet boy at Bellyrubs.org

Fred and Goldie. Sort of like Lucy and Ricky. They need to stay together. Their owner passed away and they found themselves needing a new home. They are an older pair and would love a soft place to land. We were told they do well with other dogs with slow introductions and with older kids. They have been in boarding for a little while and are sweet as pie, and they do seem to love each other. Can someone please adopt these two sweeties?

Goose is a beautiful black and tan Basset mix boy (mostly Basset). He would do best in a low key home where he can have down time as needed. He has exhibited guarding tendencies after he bonds with a certain person, and is not the kind of dog that wants to be included in social events with lots of new people. He does love being near his family and he needs someone who can build his confidence. He was adopted into an active home and did not do well with new people, and became possessive of his adoptive human mom. He needs to gain confidence and learn that he does not have to be possessive of the people he loves, and that all new folks aren't bad. Please apply if you are interested in this fella. We will be very selective about his home.

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.

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. 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.

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.
