Hank - fostered in SE Nebraska's Story

At 12 years old, Hank has reached the wonderful stage of life where he knows what matters: a soft bed, a good belly scratch, somebody to love, and—most important—WALKS. Hank absolutely loves going for walks and does beautifully on a leash. Right now his walks are on the shorter side because, well... Hank has a little extra Hank to carry around.<br/><br/>Actually, he has quite a lot of extra Hank.<br/><br/>This very stout beagle currently weighs 46 pounds, and his foster family has already started helping him slim down with sensible meals and daily walks. The good news is that Hank thinks walking is great fun, so his fitness program is something he is quite happy to participate in. As the pounds come off, we expect those walks may get longer and easier.<br/><br/>Hank is wonderfully mellow in the house. He is very submissive, super chill, and has been perfectly polite with the resident cats—mostly just looking at them as if to say, Oh. Cats. Okay. He is learning the household routine from the other dog and settling in nicely. He can manage the three steps into his foster home by himself, although lots of stairs are still difficult at his current weight.<br/><br/>He loves a soft place to sleep. He loves giving kisses. He loves people and older kids. He is not a fan of toddlers who are not nice to him.<br/><br/>Hank may have a gray muzzle and a few miles on the odometer, but look at those eyes. This is not a dog who has checked out of life. He wants to go places. He wants to see what you're doing. And he would very much like to take a walk with you.<br/><br/>If your idea of the perfect companion is a sweet senior who has already figured out how to be a good dog—and who just needs someone to help him become a slightly smaller good dog—Hank may be your guy.<br/><br/>Senior? Absolutely.Finished? Not even close.Current weight? 46 pounds.Goal? Less Hank on the outside, same wonderful Hank on the inside.<br/><br/>Hank is neutered and will be up-to-date with his shots, and microchipped. His heartworm negative and on monthly preventative. His fostered in southeast Nebraska, roughly midway between Kansas City and , and his foster is willing to travel to meet up. His adoption fee is $300

Basset and Beagle Rescue of the Heartland's Adoption Policy
Adoption FAQ Do you adopt to families outside of Nebraska? Basset and Beagle Rescue of the Heartland is based in Omaha, Nebraska, with a network of volunteers across Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. We will work with families located in these states and in immediately surrounding areas. We do adoptions outside this area on a case by case basis. If you live outside of this area, please check to find a rescue close to where you live. How much do you charge to adopt? Why is it so expensive? The adoption fees range from $200-$450 depending upon the age and health of the hound. We spend significantly more on veterinary care for our bassets and beagles than we receive in the adoption fees, so the adoption fees help ensure we're able to continue helping as many animals as possible. Adopting a new puppy or dog is not a small financial commitment, and in addition to the adoption fee you should consider whether you are prepared to pay your hound’s future veterinary bills, which could potentially be hundreds to thousands of dollars. I submitted an application a few days ago. Why haven’t I heard anything yet? Basset and Beagle Rescue of the Heartland is run entirely run by volunteers. Please allow 14 days after you submit an application for a volunteer to contact you. If it has been beyond this time frame, please send us an email to BBRH@bassetandbeagle.org to ensure we received your application. I submitted an application, but I am no longer interested in adopting or adopted a different dog. Please send us an email to BBRH@bassetandbeagle.org, and we’ll remove you from our list. Do you guarantee the health of your foster dogs? Unfortunately, due to the nature of rescue, we do not always know the full background of the bassets and beagles we take in, so we cannot guarantee the health of the dogs. All dogs taken into our care have been checked by a veterinarian and we will disclose any health problems that we are aware of. Do you have a location where I can meet the bassets and beagles? All of our dogs and puppies live in foster homes in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. While this means we do not have a central location where you can visit them, it does allow the dogs to get used to living with a family in a home, and it allows us to have a better understanding of each dog’s needs and personality. If you are interested in meeting some of the pups we have available for adoption, we encourage you to check out their online profiles and come see us at our upcoming events listed on our Facebook page. Why is your adoption application so long? Many pets are returned to shelters and rescues because they do not fit into the adopting families’ lifestyles, or because the family is unable to meet the dog’s needs. As you can imagine, this is stressful on both the family and the dog. Our goal is to match our available bassets and beagles with the best applicant possible so the dog can have a truly “forever” home. In order to do this, we need information about our applicants so we can match the dog’s needs with the lifestyle and desires of the adopting family.
