Hey Cat
do you have any advice for someone looking to adopt a senior basset here in Gresham Oregon? We had our Short-T for 12 years and he passed in his sleep 5 years ago. Now that my kids are all grown up except my last one whose 12 we have decided it is time to love another. I just don’t wanna buy from a puppy mill or some crazy you know! We search the shelters weekly but nothing so far.
thankful for any advice you can help with.

Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

CAT HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I just downloaded the application, hope it doesn’t take too long!!! Im so excited!!! You are awesome!!!
Cat L. Rudert July 25 at 10:08pm
Wow, looks like a few to pick from and they are a basset hound rescue which are very good. You are also close to CA that has a few rescues but probably pretty far away. WA state has 2 I think. Let me give you my rescue link so you can see it state by state.

Thank you so much Cat, I felt like I was on this mad woman search for days. We have been to the shelter every week for like 2 months. Then today my friend sent me a link that was 2 months old and they were all gone. Now I feel like I have some hope! JB was only 7 when Short-T passed but my other 4 were just as devistated because they had raised him. I feel like its time now, especially with my son being the last in the home he gets so lonely and a new baby would just tie us all back up again!! I sure miss my Short-T though he was my world!! That dog had his own chair at the dinner table, dog food of course, but still had a place!
Talk to you soon be blessed!
Ps I’ll send pics as soon as I have some!!!

Honey, I am hear for you every step of the way. Those who want to rescue Seniors have a special place in my heart. Have you ever heard of House of Puddles? Marilyn does not adopt out but she cares for the elder bassets that wind up in shelters.

I thought you might enjoy her website. She is one of my heros!

Again, I am hear for you! I like the word hear vs here! hehehe
