Tucker - Fostered in SE Nebraska's Story

Tucker: A distinguished senior looking for companionship<br/><br/>Looking for a senior fellow who perks up when it's time for walkies? Looking for a steady companion who stays out from underfoot—but is always ready to quietly follow you from room to room? Then meet Tucker—a distinguished gentleman with a heart of gold and a perfectly balanced approach to life.<br/><br/>.Tucker is a handsome tri-color beagle, 10 years old, and about 25 pounds. He's reached that wonderful stage in life where he has things figured out. He's not here for chaos—he's here for comfort, companionship, and, whenever he gets a chance, a stroll.<br/><br/>He's such a good boy. Truly. But like many distinguished gentlemen, he has his preferences. Tucker would prefer a home without toddlers. (He's done his time in that department and is officially retired from toddler duty.) He does very well with older children and adults.<br/><br/>Tucker gets along well with other dogs overall. At meal time, he prefers to keep his dinner to himself and may object if another dog tries to help. (Fair enough, Tucker.) Otherwise, he enjoys the company of other dogs in a quiet, companionable way. He's not much for roughhousing, but he'll happily trot around the yard—sometimes exploring on his own, sometimes tagging along behind his buddies.<br/><br/>He is potty trained. He doesn't use a dog door and won't bark to go out, but he reliably takes care of business and comes back to the door when he's ready to come in.<br/><br/>Tucker is not a fan of crates, but the good news is—he doesn't need one. He's not destructive when left alone. He's perfectly content to supervise the house from the couch.<br/><br/>What you'll love most about Tucker is his balance. He's calm, steady, and easy to live with—but he still has a lively spark. A walk? He's in. A stroll around the yard? Absolutely. Then it's back to his favorite job: relaxing.<br/><br/>Tucker is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, recently had his teeth cleaned, had a small mole removed from his snout, and is microchipped.<br/><br/>He may be an older fellow, but he has some very good years left—and he's ready to spend them with someone who appreciates a loyal, low-key, truly good companion.<br/><br/>He is fostered in southeast Nebraska midway between Omaha and Kansas City, and his foster is willing to meet.

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.
