Lady (Ceres)

Daisy (formerly named Lady, pictured at left in the photo) has been a joy from the minute we welcomed her into our home. She gained a big brother, Bentley, and they love each other! We've had a lot of adventures to show her just how great life is, which include her first Pup Cup at Peet's Coffee, being a part of our dog park pack of 15 at our local dog park, adventures all over San Francisco, trips to the Napa Valley, festivals in SF and her first SF Giants baseball game for Dog Days at the park. She loves attention and she and her brother get a lot of it when we're out and about, but what she loves most is coming home, racing upstairs to grab her stuffed lamby and settling in for a night at home, snuggled on the couch with us. She is perfect in every way! We're so grateful to GGBR for the opportunity to adopt her. She is living her best life and will continue to with her forever family!--Michelle Hunter, San Francisco, 08Jul2024. (Adopted 31Jan2024)

Levi

We have been working on socializing [Levi, now named Inky] with people and dogs. We have been taking him to dog classes to build our trust in one another. Every Sunday, when the weather is nice, we go to the Farmers Market in the city where we visit his favorite vendor who sells dog treats! He likes to run around with some of his fur buddies, wrestle with his golden retriever bff, and go on a pack walk with a few of the neighborhood doggies. His favorite times of the day are breakfast and dinner! A few people have told us that he looks more confident and looks more at home. It took him a week to get comfortable with my husband, his papa. Now, Inky always initiates playtime with him when he gets home from work. He is currently snuggled up under my blanket and on my legs. He is a lap dog for sure! Our home feels like a home again. My husband and I are more of a homebody, but after adopting Inky, we have become more of a social butterfly to ensure that we are socializing him to build his confidence with people, dog, and himself!---Lucky and Ernest, 21Jan2024.

Lady (Gilroy)

It is said that these fluffy round dog beds are designed to calm anxious dogs. While anxiety has not been an issue for 7 year old Lady, she is making good use of this bed for the favorite pastime of most bassets, sunbathing. Smart girl that she is, when sunbathing loses its appeal because of extreme heat, sharing the doggie window-seat in the house with her brother Spencer is a welcome alternative. Lady is a total love and a wonderful addition to our family!---Sally and Mike Mitchell, 21Jan2024 (adopted 27Nov2023)

Lady Emma Ann

Emma is my third Basset, so you KNOW I like them! I went to pick up Emma on April 21, 2012, in Nice from the foster, Laurie Keene. Emma was so well-behaved from the beginning. The first time I took her for a walk, she heeled! (I had seen this demonstrated in various obedience classes over the years, but NEVER had a dog that would do it!) Recently Howard, Vernon McNamee's male Basset, stayed with us for a month while Vernon was in Brazil and the two dogs had a good time together. Bassets are such loveable, wonderful dogs and Emma is the best one yet! She did do a little counter-surfing at first so she soon trained us to keep things back from the edge of the counter! Just am so happy that I looked at Pet Finders and from there to GGBR to Emma! I feel so lucky to have her. She makes every day a delight!

Lizzie

As you can see things are going very well at the Street household. Toby, the freckled boy on my legs, came to us from the Amador County Animal Shelter via GGBR in May 2012. He is a true lap basset and the most wonderful companion. He loves everyone and loves to play. Because of his joy with other dogs, we decided to adopt another. Lizzie came to us via GGBR in October 2013. She is an older lady, but also loves to play. One of our favorite pastimes is to watch the basset wrassle dance between them. One can also watch them as they dig through their toy box for just the right toy to chew or throw around. Lizzie has been cautiously but enthusiastically learning about lap time; the photo is of the first double ever. Both love to eat (what basset does not?) and enjoy their walks every day. Our pack is in doggie heaven, thanks to GGBR. Nancy and James Street Pioneer, California
