Rescue
Adopting a Friend
Prior to adoption, all of
our Bassets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, wormed, checked for
heartworm and started on heartworm preventative. Bassets that test positive
for heartworm are treated prior to adoption. Veterinary expenses are covered
by donations, fundraising activities and adoption fees. Our adoption fee is
currently $150 to $200 depending on the age of the hound you adopt.
Before you adopt a
Basset you should:
1. Be familiar the breed.
2. Consider whether a
Basset will fit into your lifestyle.
3. Determine what
characteristics you desire your Basset to have prior to adoption (i.e.
housebroken, couch potato, very obedient, etc).
4. Ask questions!!!
5. Surf to the
Daily
Drool
website where you will find a wealth of information about Basset
Hounds.
Please remember that
Bassets are scent hounds and it is very important to keep them in an
enclosed area (i.e. a secure fenced yard) or on a leash at ALL times. If you
don't have a fenced yard AND do not have the time to devote to walking a dog
you may want to consider a different breed.
