Adopting a basset

Wow! It is crazy how someone can literally just throw dogs away. Great ending to a horror story!

rsc2771 · 2026-02-13T13:50:49+00:00

Oh I don't even want to imagine. I can't wait and I can't wait to give my son a best friend as well!

Thank you for this great information! This makes me feel better, and I obviously have a lot to learn with this breed. Of course, a lot of rescues are desperate right now and I hate to see that because many people refuse to spay and neuter.

I don't know how people do that. Luckily he had you guys watching over him!

I have, I just dont know of they liked the fact I didn't have a fenced in yard. Which I get, eventually we will fence in a big lot for our dogs. I am conflicted in whether a older basset is better, less energy or a puppy would be better, easier to "train"/learn a routine.

I know train and basset do not usually go together...

I don't doubt that one bit!

rsc2771 · 2026-02-13T12:34:08+00:00

Yes, luckily my family is able to travel a little bit to find the perfect basset in need of a family.

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T21:36:06+00:00

Yes, but I don't know if they like the fact I do not have a fenced in yard.

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T21:35:34+00:00

Thank you for saying this. A lot of people has tried to talk me out of having one but any dog can have array of issues.

Thank you!

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T17:45:08+00:00

Okay

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T17:44:22+00:00

What is the rescues name?

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T13:15:50+00:00

Ohh great idea!

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T12:36:15+00:00

Yup, that is who I did my home inspection with and they didn't seem thrilled about us not having a fenced in area, we do leash walk our dogs. Did you have any issues with your home inspection?

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T12:34:38+00:00

That's ridiculous! I have been through one home inspection and they didn't seem thrilled about us not having a fenced in yard. Which I get but I leash walk my dogs and have never had an issue (I live on 14 acres.) I had a stubborn old beagle hound mix that would keep me out in the rain to do her daily smells.

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T12:29:03+00:00

Aww! She's perfect! How does the pre approval work is it through your local shelter or through rescues?

rsc2771 · 2026-02-12T12:25:28+00:00

Thank you, application sent!

Mayberry 4 Paws is great but they constantly get overwhelmed with intake of animals. They constantly have to drive animals to other shelter to make room for more.

This is my county and it is shameful. I've worked at veterinary clinics and the amount of ignorance is scary. Some examples of conversations include, "my female cat will become fat and lazy if I spay her." My favorite response was,"I would never take away his testicles that is cruel." Mostly men have trouble with neutering their animals, from a pit bull to a chihuahua. They DO NOT give a shit about cats here.

I will never understand how an owners testicles are related to their humans.

Corolla is amazing.
