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

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 9th 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

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

Toby

Toby Needs Help!
UPDATE: Toby's surgery went
well and he is back at his foster home recovering. Thanks everyone
who has helped us make this possible - the expenses from this surgery
would have wiped us out financially if it wasn't for your generosity!
Toby’s right elbow has fragmented
medial coronoid process or, in layman’s terms, one of the points on his
ulna bone, at the joint, has failed to unite with the ulna and is free
floating. As a result Toby can have severe pain at times and at
other times, he displays no pain at all. But the problem won’t fix
itself or go away. Toby will be having surgery on Wednesday,
February 10th
to work to correct this problem and his left elbow will be looked at
also, as initial x-rays showed it to be at risk, but not as severe as
the right elbow. CT examinations of the elbows is necessary for full
evaluation. Wyoming Basset Hound Rescue is in need of funds to assist
with these surgeries. If you would like to donate towards Toby’s
surgery, please call Holly Moen at (307)272-8089 or simply mail your
donation to WBHR, P.O. Box 2131, Cody, WY 82414. All donations will be
acknowledged and any inquiries into adopting Toby are being accepted as
well.
Check out our Toby raffle as well! |
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

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

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

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

Ally is a beautiful 7 year old basset hound! She came
into WBHR due to a divorce and no rentals allowing dogs. Ally is spayed,
weighs about 50#, is current on her vaccinations and is micro-chipped. Ally
has had her teeth cleaned and had to have surgery to remove bladder stones.
She is now on special kidney food to make sure they never come back. Ally is also taking a glucosamine supplement
to help with her joints. She is quite the chow-hound and is first in line at
her foster home for treats! She also lets you know at meal time that you’re
just not getting her food to her quick enough! She’s occasionally bossy to
the other dogs at her foster home, but she also plays with them, as long as
they are not too rough. Ally does well in a car, uses a doggie door,
knows how to sit, shake, catch treats in the air and is house trained.” She would be great as an only dog
or with others. If you would like to know more about Ally or find out how to
adopt her,
