Hermes #1018 is the perfect messenger to spread the word about how great basset hounds are! He’s looking forward to finding a partner in crime to show him even more basset tips and tricks. When he thinks nobody’s watching, he clowns around with the toys in his foster home. He doesn’t yet know the joy of treats. You could become his Official Treat Giver!

Hermes would enjoy a quieter house with a fenced-in yard and no young kids. He’s polite and playful with the dogs in his foster home. He’s crate trained, house trained, and is learning how to not get tangled in a leash.

Hermes’ mother is Darcy and his siblings are Hera, Circe, and Persephone. Be part of finding this family’s forever homes!

Open your ears, because Circe #1019 is calling out to find her forever home! She’s a 2 ½ year old 29-pound tricolor who’s looking for a home with a solid routine and a friendly companion hound to help her adjust to life as a pet.

Circe came to rescue with her mother, Darcy, and her three siblings. She’s the most confident and the most interested in people. Her favorite activity is rolling in piles of crunchy leaves—the crunchier, the better! Leashes are no problem, and she could probably even figure out a tie-out. She likes walking around the fenced-in yard at her foster place and wandering on a leash with supervision.

Being separated from the only family she’s ever known has been a bit of a transition for Circe, but she’s quiet and low-energy and enjoys spending time with people. It took her a week or so to settle in, but she has bloomed into a playful and fun young dog. She likes visiting the dog park and riding in the car and will curl up quietly when brought to the office with her foster parent.

Circe has an unknown orthopedic issue that we are investigating with our vet and orthopedic surgeon. While it doesn’t seem to affect her gait or cause her any pain, we still want to ensure she is thoroughly checked out. She has an appointment on 5/12 and we will learn more after that. Homes with a lot of stairs probably won’t suit her the best, but if you’ve got a low step count, definitely don’t let that stop you!

Spring is here, so pick yourself a Daisy! Daisy #1021 is a 9-year-old red-and white female basset. She’s spayed and weighs 43 pounds, which is the perfect weight for a full-time lap dog, which is her biggest aspiration in life.

Daisy could take or leave other dogs. She does try to play with the dogs in her foster home, but honestly? Scritches and praise from people are way better. She’d love to be part of a peaceful home without small children. Sometimes she can be reluctant to hop in a car or into a crate, but it could just be part of her grand scheme to get more snuggles. (Because getting picked up is just a hug with another name!)

Her foster home has a fenced-in yard, but Daisy would likely be okay on a tie-out with supervision too. She’s had a couple accidents, but she wants us to know that it’s because it was raining out or the doggy door was blocked. She wanted to go out, she promises. Once she’s gotten her mandatory “hug”, she’s good in a crate all afternoon as she waits for people to get back. When she sees them, she does a little wiggle dance!

Darcy #1024 is so happy to see you! This 9-year-old gal is dog- and likely cat-friendly and is looking forward to trying new things (with plenty of praise and reassurance as she steps out of her comfort zone.) And, at 31 pounds, she’s the perfect size for a passenger princess.

As a breeder release, there’s a lot Darcy hasn’t seen yet. She can be a little tentative, but her natural curiosity often wins out, and she’ll do a LOT to be told she’s a very good girl! She’d like a quiet home with a hound brother or sister to help her gain confidence. She’s trusted to limited parts of the house when her foster family is away, although will need a fenced-in yard because she currently thinks any door available to her is a door that could potentially lead somewhere fun. WHEEEE!
