I'm a handsome red and white basset. I am very attached to my friend Lucy. When she barks in the middle of the night, I always answer! I like to wander in the yard and chase around. I'm even a reasonably good watchdog...I may not stop the thief, but I would sure let you know the burglar was there! Even though I enjoy other dogs, I would prefer a quiet place to live where I can have plenty of time to rest and catch up on my thinking (which looks suspiciously like sleep to everyone else). I like to be brushed and petted. As long as I'm close enough to answer Lucy when she calls me, I'm a happy basset.
Lucy and Louie are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.
Thank you my Virtual Foster...Maureen!

Lucy (000000038)
9 years and 10 months.
I'm a beautiful classic red and white basset. My figure is a bit fuller as becomes a lady of my standing. When I speak, it sounds like the soft mooing of a contented cow. I even talk in my sleep! My life long companion, Lou, never fails to answer me! It can be an "eye opener" at midnight. Being a bit nervous, I prefer my environment to be on the quiet side. I enjoy being brushed, having my belly rubbed, and snoozing in a chair. I also would like a lovely bone to chew on! I am hoping for a quiet, comfortable place where Lou and I can relax and be loved.

Thank you to my Virtual Foster...Uncle Fred!

Buster (000000115)
6 years and 3 months.
If you are looking for a low-key gentleman that is the epitome of a couch potato, I'm your man! I enjoy treats, sleeping, being petted, snoring, and cuddling! I don't concern myself with juvenile activities such as play very often as I have realized that being with you is much more fun! I do get along with all cats and dogs but I prefer lounging in the sun with you. I have one blue eye and one brown eye which really adds to my dignified charm. I am overweight but my foster family has enrolled me in "Basset Boot Camp" (which basically consists of daily neighborhood walks with the family) to help whittle my waist line and I must say, I enjoy the extra exercise even if sometimes I am a little too tired to walk all the way back home. If you are looking for a lovey dovey dog with debonair qualities, I'm your man! Get in line, ladies. Get in line.

Daisy (000000117)
9 years and 2 months.
I'm a beautiful laid-back hound. My foster mom doesn't know much about my past because UFBH found me at the shelter. I mind very well and I'm not stubborn like many bassets. I love to be around everyone all the time and I sure do like my belly rubbed! I'll roll over anytime! But, I've not quite gotten the hang of kissing so far. I prefer a household on the quiet side. I enjoy a good brushing and indulge in snoozes whenever I can. I'm doggy-door trained; I have had a few accidents in the house but my foster mom thinks it's because I get nervous. I wish I could explain to my foster mom why I get nervous because I do want to please her always. I love my foster mom, but I need a forever home that is all MINE.

Freckles (000000130)
3 years and 9 months.
Me, a princess? Why, yes! Princess Fiona, as a matter of fact! Seeing as how we might be family soon, you may call me Fiona. (I used to be Freckles, but my foster family thought I deserved a name with a more royal quality!) I'm a petite young lady who will undoubtedly have many suitors. I have a demure disposition but am also very playful. And who can resist this "cute as bug's ear" little face? If I were looking for a cuddly companion I'd pick, hmmm...why, me, of course! I crave human company for my comfort whilst I sleep which is why I prefer to sleep on the bed with you. I'm very quiet and will neither bother nor stir until it's time to arise. If this is not acceptable I'm sure I can adjust to other quarters, as long as they are nearby and provide the comfort level to which I have become accustomed. Am I prissy? Why, no, a girl's just gotta' be spoiled sometimes! I am tidy, use the outside facilities via doggie-door portal with no issue, and have been vet inspected and certified! So, dear future family of a princess, I urge you to take another look at my fair visage, how could you not adopt me! I look forward to meeting you.
The bassets listed on the Available Bassets pages are merely the ones ready to be adopted. UFBH actually has other basset hounds who need your help as well. Some still need foster homes; others are in the twilight of their lives and will remain with us until the end.
