AVAILABLE BASSET HOUNDS

Jenny is a beautiful 1-y/o girl who came to GABR from a breeder situation. She is very nervous and doesn’t know what it’s like to be showered with love. Her first reaction to most situations is to run away or hide. She may need more time in her foster home to learn what it’s like to be well cared for. She will need a gentle, patient person who is willing to keep teaching this frightened girl how to enjoy walks, regular meals, and affection. 

We’ve all had them.  The quiet ones.  It takes a little longer to get to know them, as they do not come forward and seek out friends, but something about them tells you they really want to be your friend, they just don’t know how to do it or how much to trust you.

So it is with DUKE, a beautiful 8 year old basset whose owner did not have enough time for him.  He was surrendered with another male of the same age, but they were not particularly close.  Duke has been in his foster home for a month now, and is just now beginning to understand that people can be trusted.  When he first came in he would hide in corners and avoid being with his foster, but now he is gaining confidence and  following  his foster parents around,  beginning to trust that people will give him a safe welcoming environment for perhaps the first time in his life.

Duke needs a quiet home with an owner who is home most of the time and will allow him to develop a loving relationship at his own pace.  He is food motivated, especially if treats involve meaty treats, and would love to have a large quiet backyard to explore with his human.

Duke is ready for his new best friend, and you might be just what he is looking for!  Fill out an application and ask about him, to learn more.

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.
