Happy Birthday Koby... 9 yrs young today, March 10 - How about a new home for his birthday?

Koby

Special adopters needed for this special pair!

Meet Connie and Pattie... or, as their foster home calls them.... Laverne and Shirley!

Connie and Pattie

These two are sweet dogs, and very bonded... but, as you can see, Connie (Laverne) has a badly deformed front leg. This does not stop her running around, but will need surgery once she turns two years old at the end of 2010. GGBR will pay for the surgery, but we need to find them a home who will love them for the beautiful hounds they are, and be willing to work with us when it comes time for her surgery.

Please email Addy Dawes at ggbassetlovr@hotmail.com if you are interested in taking this beautiful pair on! Previous applicants, who may not yet have had a dog placed with them, should also respond so we know you are interested in being considered for these two.  Special pricing applies to adopters who will take a bonded pair.

Why Rescue?

Your Petstore Pup

Author Unknown

Cherish your new pet store pup -
Stand always by his side.
Mend his ills and give him hugs
and lots of fun car rides.

Feed him well and let him run
to build his body strong.
Play with him and give him treats.
Love him his whole life long.

You'll soon become his hero.
He will not ask you for much.
He'll trade his lifelong loyalty
for your kind word and touch.

Count him among your blessings,
as you are his blessing, too,
but then please do just one thing more,
When every day is through.

Take time to look into his eyes
each night you tuck him in.
I bet you'll see reflected there,
two other pups like him.

They've never had a family,
soft bed, good food, or fun.
They live life out in a wire box -
and never get to run.

They suffer searing heat at times,
at others freezing cold,
as weeks and months and years drag by
While they are growing old.

So think about his mom and dad
who shine there through his eyes,
and remember all the mill dogs
who are paying with their lives.

If they had ever had a chance,
they'd have grown up like him, too,
with years of love to give and get
before their lives were through.

You'll never see them face to face -
Such miracles are rare -
But pray for your pup's mom and dad,
'cause someone ought to care...

Don't buy your basset hound over the internet or from a pet store.  We can advise you about buying a well bred basset hound from a reputable breeder, and if your heart is set on a puppy, we occasionally get these in rescue also. If you are looking for a reputable breeder in California, check out this website:
