Rocky (Turlock)

We changed Rocky's name to Wilbur. As you can see from the picture I sent, Wilbur just completed level 1 obedience 6 week training class. We signed him up for level 2 class in August. Wilbur is doing well, he is very energetic young male basset hound. Also a very smart basset hound. We are enjoying having him. We are taking him camping this July for 1 week. Wilbur is definitely keeping us busy with all his energy. --D.D., 26June2024, (adopted 02Mar2024)

Drax

Drax is amazing! He is fitting right into the pack! He's the baby with Peaches being 3 and Tank and Diego being 5. They all have such great energy and keep each other entertained. I think a home with multiple dogs is exactly what he needed! He does not like going to the vet or having his feet touched. We take him to the groomer with the other babies every 4 weeks. He loves the bath. Hates the nail trim! He is very protective of his family, his pack (to include my daughter and his mom and dad). He LOVES affection! Espcecially licking! We joke that we need to get him a licker license! The other babies are super protective of him. When they are all at the groomers and they take them one on one to the bath, the babies cry and whine when Drax is out of their eyesight. He travels extremely well in the car. He is such a good baby! I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be his mom!--Amy S., Carson City, NV 26Jun2024_(adopted 31Dec2023)

Susy

Olive, (formerly known as Susy), had a fear of leashes, [when I adopted her], but she got over that right away. She loves to go on her morning speed walk along T Street (1.1 mile in about 20 minutes). And is eager for any additional walks throughout the day. I have a cat now, as well, and the two of them get along very well. They roll around and chase each other but it's always playful. Everywhere we go, people comment what an adorable dog she is. She loves walking in urban neighborhoods with people on the sidewalks, parks, home improvement stores and nurseries. And of course she loves to chase squirrels up trees.--Tom, Sacramento, 25Jun2024_(adopted 16Feb2024)

Snoopy(Sacramento)

Thought I would update you on Atticus [formerly known as Snoopy (Sacramento)]. He pretty quickly was house trained. He and Scheherazade stopped beating each other up after a couple of weeks and are besties. He has slept through the night in bed since day one. His barking has slowly become nearly non existent and he now barks when he hears something that he doesn't recognize; he's otherwise quiet. He has become an unmotivated office worker.---Michelle K., 15Mar2024. Adopted 19Jan2024.

Red (Napa)

I have had Mr. Gus [formerly known as Red] for 2 months. I am so happy to report that he is thriving. He fits in so great in my home. Gus was a little shy when he arrived but he immediately decided this was his forever home. He loves his dog brother Parker. Gus has brought out the young guy in my current Bassett. Gus is a constant player and is constantly engaging his brother in "rough housing." The one thing about Gus that amazes me is his speed. He races around the house at 90 miles an hour. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to adopt Gus from GGBR. He is everything I was looking for, and so much more. Thank GGBR for all you do. This is my second time adopting from GGBR.__Leslie M, 23Feb2024 (adopted 31Jan2024)
