Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae will be two in May of 2010 and is just a sweetheart!!  She came to WBHR from a shelter as an unclaimed stray.  She has quickly adjusted to her new foster family that includes two other dogs (1 older Springer Spaniel and a 6 month old Chocolate Lab) and three cats.  She is a small, petite girl only weighing 35.80 pounds, but she will probably start putting on a little weight now that she is settling into a routine.  She walks well on a leash and loves to be snuggled up to anyone who will have her.  Daisy Mae has two blue eyes and is deaf, but responds well to hand signals and we will be working with her more on these.  She has done well at the vet and at the groomers. Daisy Mae is current on her vaccinations, is micro-chipped and spayed.  She has shown some signs of timidness if she is approached too quickly or if you try to grab her collar, she instantly rolls over on her back.  She has not been around young children yet, so we will keep you posted on how that goes.  For more information please contact Holly at (307)272-8089 or email at bassetrescue@tctwest.net or click here to for our adoption application.

Diego

Diego is a regal fellow at the laid-back age of 11yrs old, his birthday being this past December 28, 2009.  Diego came to WBHR due to neglect, and finally relinquishment, by his previous family.  Diego was attacked by another dog in the yard they were sharing and ended up with a large, fist-sized abscess on the back of his neck before anyone even noticed!  He was taken to a local veterinarian and treated with cleaning of the wound and antibiotics.  Five days later the 250mg antibiotics were upped to 500mg, as the smaller dosage wasn’t enough.  Diego could have died from the infection if his extended family hadn’t checked on him and gotten him into the clinic!  Diego is very mellow and so very, very happy to now be a house dog!  He is current on his vaccinations and is micro-chipped. He will be neutered on March 9^th and have his teeth cleaned.  His now-healing wound will be looked at again to make sure that he is indeed healing at the rate he should be.  Diego gets along great with other dogs and loves people.  He is really enjoying all the attention he has been getting for the past two weeks and has yet to say ‘no’ to a tummy rub!  If you like the mellow, seasoned senior bassets, Diego is your man.  He would love nothing better than to live out his life in the warmth of your home, absorbing all the love you can give him, giving back two-fold to you.  For more information please contact Holly at (307)272-8089 or email at bassetrescue@tctwest.net or click here to for our adoption application.

Ruby

Miss Ruby is a return to WBHR after two years with her previous family.  They have been traveling a lot and have not been able to take Ruby with them, resulting in boarding her frequently.  Ruby is just three years old, spayed, current on her vaccinations and micro-chipped.  Ruby is house trained and a big snuggler!  She loves adults, kids, dogs, cats and she has become the “greeter” at her foster home to any visitor who happens to come by!  She loves playing with the dogs at her foster home and has settled right in as if she has always been there.  Ruby would love to snuggle in bed with you and if you like kisses, she will give them to you!  She does well in a car and is a very, very happy hound.  If you would like more information about Ruby or find out how to adopt her, please contact Holly at (307)272-8089 or email at bassetrescue@tctwest.net or click here to for our adoption application.

Toby

Toby is a handsome 5yr old basset hound who came to WBHR as an owner relinquishment.  The previous family thinks their toddler may have done something to Toby, as he didn’t like her anymore and would growl, but he was fine with their 5yr and 10yr old children.  Toby has no problems at his foster home with the family's two small children and actually loves to follow them around the house and sleep in their bedrooms at night.  He loves it when they smother him with kisses and he returns the favor!  We believe the problem with the small child was an isolated incident at the previous home and he will be fine with children who are old enough to know how to treat animals and respect their space. Toby weighs about 46 lbs and is neutered, micro-chipped and current on his vaccinations.  He is a bit underweight, but his foster family is working on putting a couple of pounds on him. He is house trained and rides very well in a car.  He gets along great with other dogs and is fine with cats, too.  He walks well on a leash, is crate trained and knows some basic commands.  Toby loves people and is very sweet.  He’s a calm, laid-back type guy who is looking for a second chance.  If you would like more information on Toby please contact Holly at (307)272-8089 or email at bassetrescue@tctwest.net or click here to for our adoption application.

Lulu

Lulu is a 3yr old basset who is quite the love bug!  She came into WBHR as a relinquishment from a family who didn’t have time for her.  She is spayed, current on her vaccinations and is micro-chipped.  She is a bit smaller basset, weighing around 44 pounds.  She is house trained and rides well in a car!  Lulu gets along great with the kittens at her foster home and is playful with the foster home’s dog.  Lulu is very food motivated (what basset hound isn’t!) and gives some kisses!  We just can’t see why anyone would want to give up this sweet girl!  If you would like more information about Lulu or find out how you can apply to adopt her, please contact Holly at (307)272-8089 or email at bassetrescue@tctwest.net or click here to for our adoption application.

Bubbles

Bubbles is a very happy 7yr old basset hound !  She came into WBHR due to a divorce and no home to go to. She loves to be held and petted and she will even climb into your lap!  Bubbles also loves to have her tummy rubbed and she is playful.  She plays with other dogs and is quite content to chew on a bone all by herself, too.  She does like furniture and has been sleeping on the couch.  She is very friendly with other dogs, and is getting along fine with the cat at her foster home.  Bubbles knows about taking walks and gets excited when you get out her leash.  She is easy to walk. She does not care for riding in the car, but she doesn't get car sick, she just whimpers.   Bubbles seems to know sit and stay and loves to eat, but she does not bother the other dogs while they are eating.  She just waits quietly. Bubbles does have six food allergies, but there are many dog foods available without those ingredients.  She is doing great with the change of her food to eliminate these items. She is housebroken and figured out the dog door in a very short time.  Bubbles weighs 53 lbs, is spayed, current on her vaccinations, recently had her teeth cleaned and is micro-chipped! She is very sweet and will make some family a wonderful dog.  For more information on Bubbles or to find out how to adopt her, please contact Holly at (307)272-8089 or email at bassetrescue@tctwest.net or click here to for our adoption application.

Kirby

This is one big teddy bear named Kirby!  He is quite the character, very playful and always happy.  Kirby is neutered, current on his vaccinations, weighs 54# and is micro-chipped. Kirby's micro-chip information told us that he is originally from Europe, possibly Italy.  He was previously with a person/family in the Air Force. He came into WBHR due to lack of a well fenced yard and his previous family not caring to fix it.  He was knowingly left at the shelter after being caught running loose!  Kirby is ~6½ years old, house trained, uses a doggie door and is working on his manners.  He is very food motivated and is doing well, as he knows to sit and he listens.  Kirby likes to play tug-of-war with rope toys and he plays well with other dogs.  He recently had is teeth cleaned and his eyes checked. Kirby has glaucoma in both eyes and requires daily meds for the remainder of his life.  The cost is approximately $2.00 per day, but for only the cost of a daily soda or latte' you would be rewarded with a huge love bug!  He does great in the car, will wrestle with you if you’ll let him and he loves to go for walks.  He would be great with other dogs who like to play and a family who would spend lots of quality time with him.  He’s just looking for love!  If you would like to know more about Kirby or find out how to adopt him, please contact Holly at (307)272-8089 or email at bassetrescue@tctwest.net or click here to for our adoption application.
