More UFBH Hounds Need Help
The bassets listed on the Available Bassets pages are merely the ones ready to be adopted. UFBH has other bassets in our care who may not be ready for adoption. Other rescues are in the twilight of their lives and will remain with us until the end.
Copper (000000129)
9 years and 3 months.
Copper is an adorable boy with very short basset legs. He was previously adopted, but his family had to return him to UFBH when their son developed severe asthma. He is a very well behaved, happy boy who needs another family to love him.
(Copper has been in UFBH's care for 1 weeks.)
Asha (000000167)
6 years and 1 months.
Hello, my name is Asha and I am probably the most wonderful Basset you will ever know. I am sweet natured, loving, goofy and laid back all rolled into one. I am housetrained, kennel-trained, and I even scratch the door to let you know when I would like to go outside. I tend to hold onto my things a bit protectively at first, but once I feel settled in and know there are other good things in store for me, I'm very good about sharing. I love playing with my foster family's dogs and I even get along well with their silly cat that likes to play with dog tails. I'm happiest when I'm just hanging out with the people I love. I can be a fast learner when I want, but like a typical Basset, will do my own thing if what you want just doesn't sound very interesting to me. So, what does make it interesting? I have to admit I will do just about anything for a treat! To be truthful, I'm still working on taking treats more gently-I just get so excited! I love to please my people; it really gets my tail wagging. So, if you are looking for an awesome Basset with an incredible voice that will be fun, playful, laid back, and loyal ; your search is over. I'm your dog!
(Asha has been in UFBH's care for 13 weeks.)
Snoopy (0000000265)
6 years and 9 months.
Snoopy is a laid-back, un-demanding guy who is really happy doing anything with his person/family! He is always happy to cuddle and chill out with someone, especially if that "someone" is into giving ear and tummy rubs, but he just loves, loves, LOVES going for strolls or even hikes (he walks very nicely on a leash). If he has to go a day or two without a walk, he's OK with a game of tug or a good romp in the yard, especially if he has another dog to wrestle with, but a long walk really brings out the best in him. He is crate trained and house broken, and would do best with a dog door, since he isn't really forceful about telling you when he needs to be let out. As long as the dog door has been open, he has never had an accident. He enjoys having a crate to retire to if there is a lot of commotion in the house, but normally he likes being in the middle of things. He is very food motivated and will gladly learn anything you wish to teach him if there is a treat involved!
(Snoopy has been in UFBH's care for 1 years and 1 months.)
Lucky (0000000255)
5 years and 3 months.
Lucky is a take-charge kind of guy who needs a home with a strong human pack leader who is willing to set and consistently enforce rules so he doesn't have to worry about being the boss himself. He is very well house-broken and uses a doggy door or waits to be let out. He also walks on a leash very nicely and knows sit, stay, wait, leave it, and OK. He is smart and learns quickly, as long as he knows what is expected of him. He has tons of energy outside and loves going for long walks or hikes or having a play session in the yard. He is very calm and quiet indoors, only barking when someone comes into the yard or to the door. Lucky is fantastic with older kids (about 10 and up) who are respectful of animals and know how to treat them. He is defensive and uncomfortable around young children, and they could be knocked down if he gets a little rambunctious while playing. He gets along great with other dogs of all sizes and would love a home with another pooch, but he is also OK as the only dog.
(Lucky has been in UFBH's care for 1 years and 3 months.)
Gertie (0000000271)
9 years and 1 months.
Gertie has been in a great foster home, and she nows weighs about 60 lbs. Gertie came to UFBH at about twice the weight of a normal basset. She was immediately examined by our vet and put on medication for her low thyroid. In spite of the fact that she looked like a coffee table, she has great personality and a lot of love to give. She is house trained, good with cats (of course she can't catch them) and seems to just love everyone.
(Gertie has been in UFBH's care for 1 years and 0 months.)
Morgan (0000000272)
5 years and 0 months.
Morgan's the name, and snuggling is the game. If you try to not snuggle, I will prove to you that I am a great mind controller and force you to snuggle with me. Anyway, about ME, I'm a 4 year old basset. As you can see I'm one good looking hound. I'm a happy, go lucky, kinda guy. I never have a bad day, and I'm always so happy to see people. I love doing new things, watching TV with the humans (Besides the westerns, the guns and horses give me the barks), long walks, sun bathing, having wrestling matches with my basset friend. My FM (Foster mom) says I have the softest fur and ears. I'd have to agree with her. I am pretty soft! I am fully potty trained, and a healthy eater. I'll even share my food with my fellow hounds. I know what's ok to chew on, and what's not. Anyway, that's all about me. I got a wrestling match to attend to, so I gotta run. Ruff, Morgan
(Morgan has been in UFBH's care for 0 years and 4 months.)
Sherman (0000000280)
2 years and 5 months.
(Sherman has been in UFBH's care for 0 years and 11 months.)
Smokey (0000000324)
3 years and 6 months.
Smokey is a most unusual basset..he fetches...and actually brings things back to you! And he'll go on for hours. This guy would be a great agility basset. Smokey needs lots of exercise to keep his energy level under control and would love long hikes with you to help with this. On a leash would probably be best. This happy guy likes to play with other dogs, but with more than one or two becomes too stressful a situation for him. Smokey is house-trained to use a dog door, is a great lap dog and will most politely share your bed with you. As with most of our hounds, he loves to be held and cuddled.
(Smokey has been in UFBH's care for 0 years and 6 months.)
Maggie (0000000328)
8 years and 6 months.
Maggie is a bit of a "lay around the house kind of gal". Short walks and a little exercise would be good, but you might find she doesn't want to go too far. Maggie is a very sweet girl and would make a great only hound, or would fit in well with other dogs.
(Maggie has been in UFBH's care for 0 years and 5 months.)
Homer (0000000329)
8 years and 6 months.
Homer is a very charming boy. He's fairly active for his age and plays well with other dogs. Homer's not one of our shy bassets. He is fairly outgoing. He is very affectionate and loving. Homer would probably like to have a doggie playmate, but would do OK as an only dog if not left alone much.
(Homer has been in UFBH's care for 0 years and 5 months.)
