Everyone say hi to Emma!

Emma #618 is back at MNBR through no fault of her own (and no fault of her former family.) She’s a 9-year-old tricolor lady who is 42 pounds of pure sweetness. She’s dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and great with kids who respect her space.

Although Emma was never able to get fully comfortable with the man at her old home (which is something that happens on occasion from breeding facility dogs), she is bonding well with her current foster dad. She requests a quiet household with few or no stairs and a lot of comfortable places for naps. And snacks—lots of snacks! She enjoys a delicious morsel, although can be a little picky sometimes. That just means she’s a lady of great taste. When you offer a sweet treat that she really wants, she spins around in a circle.

Vanilla #927 is anything but boring. This five-year-old basset’s previous life was spent as part of a puppy mill operation. She’ll need someone who’s prepared to help usher her into the world of canine comforts. A patient person can look forward to a sweet 37-pound reward.

Currently, Vanilla is learning how to trust. She wants to be near people at all times, although she still isn’t sure who’s a friend and who’s a foe. She likes finding a high point, like a couch, to keep an eye on things, and has chosen one of her foster basset brothers as a life coach.

Vanilla uses a doggy door to get outside and is crated when nobody’s home. She’ll need a house with a secure fenced-in backyard to keep her feeling safe. Gaze into her eyes and let her sad story tug at your heartstrings.

Diamond #936 has one question: Do you have any snacks, and, if so, will you share them? This six-year-old tricolor basset weighs in at 33 pounds and could afford to put on a few. Treats would be a great way to win her over!

Diamond is looking for a forever home with another dog to boost her confidence. She’s friendly with the dogs in her foster home, and even enjoys the company of cats. Because she gets a little unsure outside by herself sometimes, she’ll need a fenced-in yard. She doesn’t signal when she needs to go out, but doesn’t have accidents if kept on a schedule.

Her favorite toy is a Grinch toy. She likes to hide it deep in the couch (you know, if you’re looking for future Christmas presents to put under the tree.) Christmas toys, Christmas cookies, and the best basset to spend the holidays with? Sounds like a win-win.

Betsy #954 is a one-year-old tricolor female who’s a cute and curious 30 pounds. She came from a breeder in Iowa and is learning how to enjoy the life of a house dog. With some time, she could be a wonderful companion to a patient person looking for love.

Betsy likes it when people get down at her level and will accept snout scritches and the occasional snack. She really wants to trust—it will just take a little more time. She isn’t confident enough yet to use the doggy door to go out, but there’s nowhere to go but up! Every step forward is a step to success. And just imagine the reward!

With confidence comes playfulness, and Betsy has learned that toys are fun—even if the people don’t think they’re toys! Wait, where’d the kitchen towel go? Did someone leave a shoe in the living room? Is…is that a Christmas ornament? Betsy has no idea how any of those things got there.

Bonnie #955 is a one-year-old spayed tricolor female basset with the sweetest brown face. She came to MNBR as a breeder release from Iowa and is making basset-sized strides at becoming a house dog. She’s comfortable in her kennel and lets herself in and out for potty breaks.

Take a load off and sit down at Bonnie’s level and she’ll come say hello. She’s also figuring out that toys are fun—and that everything is a toy if you wish hard enough. That includes kitchen towels, shoes, and even Christmas ornaments!

Bonnie is still a bit wary of the man in her foster home, even though we promised her that he’s a very nice man. She will also let you know when someone enters the house. As she begins to find her place, she seems to have a more assertive personality.

Wanted: active home looking for a colorful young basset. Must have lots of socks and snacks for stealing, new friends to meet, and fun games to keep her brain working. Interested parties should check out Dixie #959. She’s 2 ½ years old and 39 pounds of tricolor delight.

Dixie came to MNBR from a commercial breeding facility and is having the time of her life as a house dog. She’s curious about cats, excited to see kids, and has met a million new friends at the dog park. She could be an only dog or the new best friend to your current best friend.

Although being outside is new to her, Dixie is enjoying her foster home’s fenced-in backyard and could learn to navigate a tie-out under supervision. She’s crate trained and is trusted to be partially restricted when her family is out.

Did we mention Dixie’s a bit of a clothes horse? She likes to sneak off with spare shirts, sweaters, or any other clothing she can find. She doesn’t chew on them, though. She uses them to make her bed even cushier!

If you have some love (and a few shirts) to spare, apply for Dixie at https://www.mnbassetrescue.com/adoption

Barkley came to MNBR when his family moved and didn’t bring him along. He is a spunky senior with a goofy personality. He had several lumps removed, with one being a low-grade mast cell tumor, but the margins were good so we don’t expect any issues. He also some missing toes on one of his front feet and it causes him to have a slight limp, especially when the ground is very hot or cold, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit!

He is dog friendly and loves people, but wouldn’t need a dog companion in his new home.

We’ll update his bio as we learn more about him.

Fiona was pulled from a shelter in OK after she was found as a stray. She is a beagle through and through and loved to get into everything. In her explorations she sniffs so intensely that she sounds like a mini helicopter. She is dog friendly, but her real love is people. Fiona wants to be in your pocket or out having adventures with you.

We will update her bio as we learn more about her.
