AVAILABLE BASSET HOUNDS

Introducing Kal (short for Kaladin), a handsome 8 year old boy that came to GABR suffering from horrible and painful ear infections; but that is all behind him now (except for continued ear cleanings) and he is hoping to find his very own family to love.

Kal loves his foster family and follows them all around the house; he also really loves to play, hide his treasures and go for walks.  He is a sweet boy, but he does have some separation anxiety and he would do best in a home without small children, since sudden movements and being awaken by a touch can cause a reaction.

Although Kal has been the only dog in his foster home, he gets along with the dogs he meets on his walks and has been okish with the family cat.

It will take some time for Kal to adjust and trust his new family, but with lots of patience and understanding, Kal will relax and become the dog you always wanted.

There is a Chinese proverb that translates to “good things come in pairs.” Molly and Luna are the perfect basset litter mates and ready for adoption!

Littermates who are 5 years old, these bonded girls are almost indistinguishable in coloring, though Luna is a bit larger than her sister, and has a bit more white on her neck and chest.  Surrendered because the owners were moving and could not take them, they are both house trained, good with other dogs, good with cats and older children, and affectionate.

Molly is a bit more outgoing,  curious and eager to make friends with everyone.  Luna is a little more cautious at first with new people, but opens up once she becomes comfortable with you, and both of them make  great companions and enjoy sharing the couch with you (or each other), and love their walks.

If you are interested in adopting a bonded pair, you could not find a sweeter, more trouble-free pair than these adorable girls.  Fill out an application and ask about them today

When sweet 7 year old Bonnie came to us, she had been suffering from an incredibly inflamed skin condition and large skin growths for two years.  She also had infections in both ears, and needed dental work.

  Weighing 84 pounds when she entered GABR’s care, she had 8 growths hanging from her, that totaled 6 pounds, when removed.  She was treated with allergy medications, started on a limited diet,  given special baths and treatments for her skin ear medications.  

When she had healed enough from that surgery, she needed a dental surgery, and another growth removed from her leg.  Though her skin is slowly improving, the medications will be ongoing, and she will need special diet, possibly for the remainder of  her life.I

n spite of all of this, sweet Bonnie embodies the words loving and playful.  She absolutely adores attention, plays with the other dogs well, is loving her long and   daily walks, and is a terrific companion.  She wants to be included in everything and be with her caretaker all the time, and in fact when left, will howl the way only a basset knows how to; loud and long!

She loves to tear around with the other dogs, and has a doggy door in her foster home, so is able to go in and out as she pleases.  She has discovered the joy of unattended socks, and will shred them in minutes, so having chew toys available is a must.  She is crate trained, and given her love of chewing, is the best option when she has to be left alone.

Bonnie needs an owner who is home most of the time, is active and likes to walk daily, and will be attentive to her health care needs, now that she is doing well.  If this sounds like you, please fill out an adoption application.  She may have special needs for her allergies, but she will be your special and loving companion for life.
