Duke is an approximately 2-year-old, male Basset Hound. He came to us as an owner relinquishment from Montana. Duke was recently neutered, is current on his vaccinations and is microchipped. Duke weighs just over 40#. He has a sweet disposition, is very friendly, loves to cuddle and is a good sleeper at night. Duke walks well with a harness and leash, can be redirected, is easy to bathe and does well with the foster home’s male lab, though there were a couple of stand-offs when he first arrived and Duke was not having anything to do with the lab! He uses a dog door, is house trained via the dog door, is friendly with people, rides great in the car and is very smart! He does like to counter surf and likes to chew blankets and clothing he has found and taken off with! Duke came into WBHR on February 23 and is still working to decompress and get used to being in a family situation, learning their schedule, routine, etc. He can be whiny and skittish, as well as attention seeking, especially in the mornings. He likes to be in close proximity with people. Like all basset hounds, he needs a secure, fenced yard at his new home. The foster home thinks he would probably do great with kids and he might be the best fit for an active family and even as an only dog. We don’t know how he would be with cats, but his prior home had some and he didn’t bother them there. He was an outside dog in his previous home. If you would like to be considered for adopting him or any of our dogs up for adoption, please send us an email at wybassetrescue@gmail.com or click here to for our adoption application and send it to the email. That will get the process started!

 

Bogie is a male basset hound mix who came into WBHR the end of August as an owner relinquishment. He will be one-year old on November 23. Bogie does very well with the other two dogs in his foster home, sleeps in a crate and is housetrained. DNA has been done on Bogie and he is 60% basset hound, 7% Akita, 6% Australian Cattle Dog, 4% bluetick coonhound and 2% or less of various other breeds. He is current on vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped. Bogie finished up a month of puppy training classes at the end of October. He knows basic commands and is working on not jumping up on people and not going out the door until ‘released’ to do so. Bogie loves to play fetch with his squeaky ball and run circles in the yard. He loves people and has made great strides with manners at his foster home.
