Bassets currently available

Chrissy was dumped at a local shelter because she had a taste for chickens. Her owners didn't come to get her, so HHBR was called and we came and got her. Because of her love for the taste of chickens we would recommend a "chickenless" home for her.

Chrissy is about ~3 years old, spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She is microchipped and heartworm free.

Chrissy's foster family had this to say about her, Chrissy is an angel. She is very sweet and craves affection and attention. She is house trained. Chrissy needs a family with time for her. In return she will give back lots of love.

Matty was surrendered by her owners to HHBR. She was born 6/27/2005, so she just over three years old. She weighs 44 lbs. and is up-to-date on her vaccinations, is microchipped and tested negative for heartworms.

Matilda loves to chase squirrels and loves to be cuddled. She gets along with the other dogs in her foster home. Her foster mom had this to say about her, "She is a very sweet girl. She has a thinner coat than other bassets we have had, so she does seem to get cold. She loves to burrow underneath the covers on our bed and she loves to cuddle and be held. She really is a sweet and loving dog. She even has some funny grunts and noises she makes even when she is sound asleep. She snores periodically like every basset. We have been very impressed at how sweet and just overll good she is."

Matty needs a home with lots of love and attention and a yard to run and play in.

Tracker came from an area shelter, where he had been left by his family. They didn’t want him anymore. Tracker is ~2 years old.

Tracker is an outgoing little guy, up-to-date on his vaccinations and microchipped. He tested negative for heartworms. He’s had a dental and been neutered and is ready for his new home. Kind of goofy, but all loving.

Dave and Axel are basset mixes, but what cuties! They are ~1 year old and full of all that wonderful puppiness that makes being with them a joy. They are bonded and will need to be adopted together.

Both are neutered, heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations and microchippped.

This is a note from their foster mom about them, "I just wanted to let you know that they are just fine, eating and chewing their bones, and running and playing with my two. They haven’t given us a moment’s trouble, and they are doing very well with going to the yard with our two to do their business. Whoever adopts these two is going to get two very sweet and very affectionate hounds. They are just adorable and they both love, love, love to be loved." They’ll need a yard to play in and an active family.

Frankie had a family, but they couldn't keep him. Frankie is ~5 years old and weighs 44 lbs, he is the 17th dog with heartworms that we've had this year. So right now he's a laid back basset, as he is in heartworm treatment and has restricted activity. Frankie is a good dog, and loves being with people and would love to go for walks and explore; but for now he is a housebound hound.

Frankie likes being with people and came from a family with small children. He would play more, if allowed. He is housetrained. Frankie is sometimes over-protective of his food. His foster family is working with him on that and he is doing very well. His foster mom says, Frankie is doing well with us and is still appreciative of being rescued and sleeping on soft dog (and sometimes human) beds. Frankie needs a home where he will be part of the family.

What a great name for such a wonderful, precious basset. Chloe is ~7 years old and is a real sweet girl. She strayed from her original home, but when animal control contacted them, they didn't want to be bother with her! So poor Chloe is looking for a new family that will love and care for her.

She is very laid-back and loves to get loved-on! She was a bit whiney when she first went to her foster home, but has gotten lots better. She likes to play with the other dogs -- will run around for a while, then take a nap! Chloe is a snorer! She also likes to play with the dog toys. She is housebroken with a doggy door. In her foster home she does well with older children (12 years). She hasn't been around younger children, but we think she would be fine with them.

Chloe weighs 43 pounds and is a tri-color basset. She has been spay, had her teeth cleaned, and tested negative for heartworms. If you're looking for a typical laid-back basset, Chloe is the dog for you!

Zoey was found on the side of road and then left at a local shelter. She is about 2 years old, spay and microchipped. She weighs 37 lbs.

Zoey is a bossy dog and wants all the attention for herself. She would do best as an only dog. Zoey is looking for a home where she will be a family companion. She needs moderate exercise and a yard to run and play in.

Harry came from an area shelter where he was picked up as a stray. He's about 2 years old and is underweight at 46 lbs. He is being treated for hookworms and Guardia (which would explain his being underweight). Unfortunately, Harry is heartworm positive and will start his treatment Nov. 17.

He is a playful guy and loves to go for walks and play in the yard. While in treatment he will need to have restricted activity, but once he's recovered he'd do best in an active home. Harry has a lot of love to give and will make a wonderful companion.

Harry is the 17th case of hw disease that HHBR has had this year. If you would like to contribute to his medical bills please click on the PayPal icon below.

Kenny came to HHBR from a local animal shelter along with his buddy, Bud. They were strays, that like so many others, were never claimed by their owner.
Kenny is ~ 5 years old and weighs 46 lbs. He is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, neutered and heartworm negative.
Kenny is a typical laid back basset. But, he does love to go exploring so he'd like a family that would take him for walks. He is bonded to Bud, so they will need to be adopted together – think of it as twice the fun! He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home. They are a couple of clowns looking for a family to call their own.

Bud came from a local shelter. He was picked up as a stray, along with his buddy, Kenny. They were never claimed.

Bud is ~ 5 years old, weighs 45 lbs and is neutered. He is up to date on shots, microchipped; but, unfortunately is heartworm positive. He is doing well with his heartworm treatment.

Bud is a good dog and loves to be with people. Bud and Kenny are bonded and need to be placed together, think of it as two loving bassets instead of just one! He gets along fine with the other dogs in his foster home. Bud & Kenny need a home where the family has time to spend with them and they will reward their family with lots of love.

Sissy was left behind when her family moved away, a neighbor fed her occasionally, so Sissy stayed waiting for her family to come home. They never did come back to get her, so animal control came and got her.

Sissy ~ 6-7 years old, spay and up-to-date on all her vaccinations and weighs a scant 38 lbs. She had a yeast infection when she arrived, but that has been treated and she doing great. However, Sissy does have heartworms and is currently in treatment. She will get a dental and be spay when her hw treatment is finished.

Sissy is a very sweet, gentle, basset hound. She is a little timid at first, but warms up to you very quickly. She loves being with people and gets along with other dogs.

Like her southern name, Annabelle is quite a lady. Her owner passed away and the family wasn't able to keep her. She is ~7 years old, spay female. She weighs in at 58 pounds and needs to lose a few.

She is in good health and is up to date on her vaccinations and has been microchipped.

Annabelle's foster mom says she gets along great with the other dogs in her home and the cat. Annabelle is outgoing and never meets a stranger. Always ready for a new adventure, Annabelle would be a wonderful addition to any family.

Muppet was returned to HHBR when her adopter had to move out of state to care for an ill relative. Muppet is ~5-6 years old. She is spayed and up-to-date on her shots and has been microchipped. Muppet is a little taller than most bassets, but she has a basset heart and loves to be petted. She weighs 42 lbs.

Muppet likes people, but she can be skittish. Ordinary noises, like the refrigerator starting up, can startle her. She is currently living with another foster dog and they get along famously. She needs a family with patience that will not leave her alone for long periods of time and have time to spend with her.
Muppet originally came from a local shelter and was adopted from HHBR in January of 2008. She was a stray before she came to the shelter and we have no information about that time in her life. When corrected she cowers, so we think she was possibly mistreated before she arrived at the shelter. Muppet has a lot of love to give and needs a family to call her own.
