AVAILABLE BASSET HOUNDS

Bruno is a spunky boy that loves adults,kids, and car rides. He really likes car rides. Did we mention car rides? When excited he likes to gather as many toys as he can fit in his mouth and follow you around.

 He enjoys walking people at a slow pace and sniffing the world around him. After a walk he likes to unwind relaxing on someone to watch a movie.

Bruno listens pretty good for a Basset, does OK while his people eat, although there are signs he really wants some too, but he is not too pushy about it if given the proper guidance.

He has tried to counter surf, but after correcting him, he does not attempt it often. He is a Velcro dog and follows his people around the house to keep track of them.

He does bark and chase the cat from time to time, has never caught her. The other notable thing is he hates being home alone and will tell anyone in hearing distance that he has been abandoned

If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who loves snuggles, adventures, and all the car rides you can give him, Bruno is your guy

Meet Jack & Jill – Double the Love, Double the Loyalty! 🐾

Jack & Jill are an adorable bonded pair of 7-year-old basset hounds looking for their forever home together. These two were found as strays, but you’d never guess it from their sweet and gentle personalities. Calm, friendly, and affectionate, they get along with everyone they meet and will quickly charm their way into your heart.

These two love nothing more than spending time outdoors exploring the yard and “looking for smells.” They’ll happily sniff around together (or wander off separately for solo adventures), and after about 25 minutes of outdoor fun, you’ll find them side by side, watching the world go by.

While they are very people-friendly and have done well with other dogs, they would do best in a calmer home — a young, high-energy dog might be a bit too much for them. Jack & Jill are crate trained, couch-loving cuddle bugs (in their minds, they’re lap dogs!) and Jill especially enjoys playing with toys.

They are currently on a diet and exercise plan — their previous meals might have been a little too generous — so regular walks and portion control will help them feel their best. They’re not very treat motivated (they usually sniff and walk away), but Jill does prefer to enjoy her treats alone and may run off with them. They also sometimes “claim” the couch from other dogs with a quiet growl, though they have never shown aggression toward each other or people.

If you’re looking for two laid-back companions who will fill your home with love, companionship, and basset charm, Jack & Jill are the perfect pair. They’re ready to spend their days sniffing, snoozing, and soaking up all the affection you have to give. ❤️

Who would like to foster or adopt this beautiful 5 y/o Basset/Sharpe mix named LuLu?  Her owner has to sell her home for financial reasons and has to give her up. 

LuLu is housetrained unless she’s left alone for a long period of time.  She’s also crate trained, but prefers sleeping on the sofa if allowed.  She’s social with other dogs and excellent with cats.  LuLu loves her stuffed toys...they are her babies, but she hasn’t been around human babies/small kids. She’s a basset with small ears! 

If you are interested please fill out an application through our website!

Sweet, soulful Bessie is ready to find her forever family! This 60-pound, 10 year old, blue-eyed senior basset hound was found as a stray and came to us from a local animal shelter. Now safe and cared for, she's hoping to spend her golden years in a calm, loving home. She’s spayed, up to date on her vet care, and currently managing arthritis and high blood pressure with daily medication, which she'll need to stay on long-term.  Bessie also has a skin irritation that baths and topical cream has helped.

Bessie gets around well, but because of her arthritis, stairs are a no-go, so she's looking for a home that's all on one level. Bessie currently lives with another dog in her foster home and generally doesn’t mind their presence—unless it’s mealtime or toy time. She can be a little possessive, so she must be fed separately from other animals.  Bessie prefers the company of humans – a calm, quiet home where she can be the center of attention would be her dream. Her behavior around cats and kids is unknown, but we think she'd do best without young children and in a more peaceful environment.  She's housetrained and crate trained, but she's had the occasional accident in her foster home. 

Her favorite things? Soft beds for naps, soft treats, and soft stuffed toys – Bessie’s all about the cozy life now. She's looking for a kind and patient adopter who will give her the comfort and care she deserves.  If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a gentle, loyal companion, Bessie just might be your perfect match.

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.

Bonnie, we call her Bonbon, is almost 8 yrs. old.   She came in at 80+ pounds and is now weighing in at 63 pounds.  

As her foster mom I have to admit that I have spoiled this girl.   She is perfect!   House trained, friendly to everyone and no crate needed.   I have learned to pick up my socks and offer her a flavored nylabone to chew on  instead.   She’s the first one to bed at night, I have to push her over so I can get in.  She’s affectionate and loves attention.   She loves daily walks.   Her feet are huge!!!

Bonbon came in with allergies and several lumps that had to be removed.  She sees a dermatologist and  GABR has started her on immune therapy. 
She gets weekly baths and is on a special diet.  We should start seeing results between 6-12 months.  So far we are in the 3rd month.  One goal is to get her on regular dog food but we aren’t there yet.  Another goal for her to be at least 70% allergy free. 

Bonbon is looking for a hero who is able to continue with her treatments.   Can that be you?
