Just arrived from Alabama, a lovely basset who weathered the storms in Mobile is Carly. She is 1-1/2 years old, great with people and other pets and also very sweet. She’s spayed and up to date on shots. Due to the Mobile, AL storm damage Carly's family had to move and were unable to take her with them. She would love to have a family of her own again and she really deserves a better, happier life after what she has endured. Please consider adopting or fostering Carly and you won’t be disappointed! |

Collette is about 3 1/2 years old, weighs about 50 pounds.
She is red and white, and loves companinionship. She's spayed and housebroken, and wants to be spoiled like the princess she is. Collette is looking for a adult-only home with a male (or no other) dogs.

Dakota is a sweet Beagle, up to date on all shots,
and ready to be loved by a family of his own. |

Harvey is a 4-yr old Beagle, weighing about 25 pounds. He's as cute as a button and loves to play with all kinds of dog toys. Cuddly and soft, he also likes to be outside and rides well in cars. He is currently in a loving foster home with another hound mix and they play well together. He is currently on Heartworm prevention medicine and would love to have a permanent home. |
Special note: We are
in need of homes in the Mid-Atlantic area to foster dogs. If interested
in volunteering as a foster home, please contact Arlene Kahn at 301-292-3020.
Thanks.

WHAT IS BASSET HOUND
RESCUE LEAGUE?
Basset Hound Rescue League (BHRL)
is an adoption agency for Basset Hounds operated solely by volunteers dedicated
to the welfare of Basset Hounds. BHRL finds new homes for abandoned and relinquished
Basset Hounds.
A veterinarian examines each dog
we rescue and checks for parasites, gives immunizations, and either spays or
neuters. We then place the dog in the home of a potential adopter for a trial
period. During the trial period, a member of BHRL will periodically check on
how you and your dog are doing. The volunteer will be available for advice and
to share your frustration with this lovable breed. If a potential permanent
home is not available, the dog is placed in a foster home until one is found.
BHRL asks for a contribution beginning
at $200.00 for each dog adopted in order that we may continue to rescue Bassets.
The contributions are based on the age of the dog, and the costs incurred by
us. BHRL also runs some minor fundraising activities, such as calendar, T-shirt,
and Christmas card sales, and we accept any and all donations.
We are always looking for good
foster and permanent homes, as well as volunteers who are interested in working
in the Basset Hound Rescue League. We need help to screen prospective homes,
pick up dogs from pounds and shelters and deliver them to veterinary hospitals
or foster homes, and run general errands. As a volunteer you can be as active
as you wish, picking an activity to suit your special interest and the time
you have to spare. If you are interested in any part of our program, please
call Arlene Kahn at 301-292-3020.
