What A Difference A Day Makes

.. In rescue we always have to expect the unexpected.. Today I got a phone call from Webster's adopted parents.. the Mom had been told today at work that a co-worker had been let go and she was now to perform double duty which would include 2 weeks a month away from home.. Well this news sent her into a tailspin.. WEBSTER she thought.. would have to be returned as she could not give him the care he needs.. She was crying on telephone very distraught I felt bad for both of them.. So Webster is back in foster care awaiting a new forever home.. Yes what a difference a day makes..

Update March 14th.. Webster has his FOREVER HOME.. Thanks Ian..

The Basset 500.. A Work In Progress

.. Today Hoover was trying to get his little charges to run a race with him around the house.. I know by the looks on their faces they thought he was crazy.. they did follow him but not at the speed he wanted.. well not yet anyways.. I'm sure before they go to their new homes they will have been involved in a few Basset 500's.. most basset owners know this activity quite well.. and it can always bring a smile to your face..

Tootsie & Webster Have Forever Homes

.. The trials of rescuing are always difficult.. however there are times when you get to see the Universe in action.. Tootsie went into foster after her spay and the family loved her from the get go.. I mean look at her.. .. Then Webster was seen at the dog park while his foster was taking him on a social outing.. again a very handsome basset stole a heart .. So as it stands today both of these bassets have their forever homes and I couldn't be more pleased.

Pups Just want To Have Fun..

BHRQ Foster Parents Bravo

.. You know its very hard to find reliable foster homes for bassets.. but I must say I feel blessed by those that have stepped up to the plate.. especially since the municipality came down on me last year for too many dogs.. Rescues depend on fosters to allow us to rescue as many bassets as possible.. I know just in these last few weeks I've needed fosters and 4 stepped up.. for that I am so grateful .. These people will never know how very valuable they are within this Universe and how their act of kindness will undoubtedly bring them good karma.. So I humbly say THANK YOU to Fosters everywhere..

Percy & The Pup

.. Even my old boy Percy at 13 can share a tender nap with a puppy.. I watched them for a while and thought to myself.. Percy was once that size.. wish I could have seen him then.. I only rescued him at 4 years old.. it was sure heart warming for me to see him like this..



Yup love my ole boy Percy..

New Girl

.. Yesterday I rescued this 2 year old girl.. The family had a new baby and they felt that she wasn't getting the attention she deserved so they called me.. Here she is



She's at the vet now being spayed.. then into foster care to recuperate I'm sure she'll make some family a wonderful addition....
