Wrigley (Y863), Age 10 years and 0 months
Wrigley, who also goes by the name Bob, is a handsome gentleman, approx. 10 years of age. Wrigley came to us from the shelter after his family took him there when they could no longer care for him. He's a good ol' boy, still active, but loves to find a comfortable spot on the couch. He rides well in the car and accepts any new adventure that comes his way. When he's feeling a bit insecure he'll suck on his own ear like a pacifier to comfort himself. It's a sweet, but sad, sight. If you just give him some love and carasses he'll forget all about the ear and savor the attention you give him. At a weight of 70 lbs, Wrigley is muscular--not fat. He'd do well as an only dog or with another compatible dog. We don't know yet how he'd be in a relationship with a cat. So far, he's not much of a player--but that could change once he feels secure in his new home and opens up. Older children would probably be okay for Wrigley--younger kids might be a bit too rambunctious for his stoic ways. This majestic red and white boy is waiting to be loved and adopted. He needs a foster home in the meantime. His adoption fee will be $150.

Lucy and Bandit (Y860), Age 10 years and 3 months
Lucy (#859) and her best friend, Bandit (#860) are a bonded pair who wish to remain together in a new home. Although 10 years old, this couple is still pretty lively and have a lot of love to give. They ride well in the car, walk well on a leash and are just happy to have a spot to hang out. We have them featured on our home page because they need a foster home ASAP. Better yet--an adoptive home. Lucy and Bandit found themselves homeless when their previous owner went into an assisted living and relatives dropped this pair at the shelter. We don't know who the owner was, but we wish would could assure him or her that their beloved Bassets are being cared for by LVBR. Lucy and Bandit now need a little assisted living themselves--but don't require much. A soft dog bed to share, a little food, and some companionship from humans who appreciate them in their golden years. They are quiet and accepting of whatever life brings them. Let's make sure they have a what we all hope to have as we age.....a secure home with people who us. Their senior pair adoption fee will be $150. Fill out the online application if you are interested in meeting this lovely pair of hounds.

Jackpot (Y862), Age 0 years and 10 months
If there was a place in the Guiness Book of World Records for the tallest basset hound, our newest red and white boy, Jackpot, just might get the honor. Tall and gangly, and as silly as any 9 month old hound can be, Jackpot will need plenty of exercise and play time while he is still maturing into the fantastic dog we know he will be. For the more active folks who think a short-legged hound might hold them back, Jackpot is your boy! And, for the folks who are looking for a younger dog, even if you aren't that active, if you have another young dog who needs a companion, and the patience to give Jackpot the guidance he needs, we think you will be rewarded with a loving, faithful companion. If Jackpot looks like he would make a nice addiiton to your home, or if you would like to foster Jackpot until he finds his forever home, please fill out an online application. Jackpot's adoption fee will be $250.

Duke and Daisy
May 20, 2012
Ahoy Mateys! Let this bonded pair sail straight into your heart and home. Duke and Daisy are a bonded pair who need a Foster Home together while they wait for their Forever Home. They are everything bassets should be: sweet, silly, devoted, sad-eyed, happy, well-behaved, belly-rub loving hounds. They were relinquished to our rescue when their family could no longer care for them. If you would like to meet them, please fill out the online application here on the website. If it’s an offer to foster, just put “fostering” next to your name. We have several more new basset clients to introduce to you in the next few days and they will need foster homes also. Please consider helping a Basset Hound in need. Thank you. **Thank you to Arica Dorff at Pet’ographique Photography for always providing wonderful photos like the one here.
