Bassett Rescue

I would be completely remiss if I didn't mention Guardian Angel Bassett Rescue. Link is under the cool links section. We adopted Blossom in January and couldn't be happier. Don't buy an expensive, overpriced pet-store dog from a puppy farm! There are plenty of sweet, family-friendly Bassett Hounds awaiting adoption. Not all rescue dogs are physically abused, abandoned or neglected. Our Blossom was raised with a very loving family who obviously took excellent care of her. I can tell she has had a dog trainer work with her. She doesn't bark, howl, get up on furniture, is crate trained and loves the kids. Bloss is a senior, excuse me, "mature" bassett. A few people have told us that we shouldn't have taken her because of her age. However, she is a real cream puff and we couldn't have asked for a better family dog. She loves going to Dairy Queen in the summer and taking long walks in the snow in the winter. Now that the weather is cooler, she is up at the crack of dawn with us, ready for her morning walk. She has lots of neighborhood buddys including 2 other bassets, 2 dashounds and a blood hound. Please consider adopting a bassett (or another breed of dog if you don't care for bassets) from a rescue organization.
