Sassy Shelby is a gem! Her biggest joys in life are going on walks (she LOVES to sniff) and getting treats. Her new owners will love being greeted by her excited "tail-a-copter". She's a mellow, easy-going gal who is house trained. Shelby has a few cute tricks like high five, roll-over, and lay down. She also plays dead if you say "bang bang"! Her surrendering owner says that people are always commenting on Shelby when they're out on walks so if you're looking for a dog that will be noticed, Shelby's your girl!!
Thank you, Basset Hound Lover, for your interest in adopting a rescued, homeless Basset Hound - our Basset Hounds need YOU!
Adopters are asked to make a minimum donation of $225 to cover the expenses involved in getting the dog ready for placement, i.e., veterinary bills, board bills if the dog must be housed in a commercial kennel while awaiting adoption, etc. Any additional donation above expenses is appreciated, and goes into our rescue fund to help care for other dogs, such as extraordinary veterinary expenses, etc.
If a dog is surrendered to us directly by the original owner, we request a donation from the owner to help cover the cost of housing and caring for the dog until it is adopted, or to pay for any necessary veterinary expenses, if at all possible.
The rescue service is run on a non-profit basis, and no one involved in it receives any remuneration, other than repayment for out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the care of the dogs.

Information about the care of Bassets will be provided at the time of adoption, and follow-up advice is always just a phone call away.
