My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Petinua has a BIG personality and exceptionally silly. She loves to make you laugh and bring a smile to your face. Whenever you are down, Petinua is there to get you smiling again. If she was a person she would be doing stand up comedy with Kevin Hart. Petinua is a HUGE help in the kitchen. She sits and waits for you to drop something so she can quickly help you clean it up. Need a bowl clean, she's your girl. But watch her closely. Her nose gets her into trouble. She loves to counter surf and might help you clean off your counter without your consent. She is learning to NOT sounter surf and will need somone to continue to work with her on it.
Petinua is still learning her manners. Her stubborn ways forces her to learn a little slower so she will need someone with a ton of patience to keep her on the path of being the best silly dog ever but with manners.
Petinua is always down to play. She LOVES people and is the first to start the playing with her brother Dudley. Petinua doesn't know her own strenght and tends to knock small kiddos over when she gets super excited to see them. So use caution if you have small kids.
Petinua is the opposite of her brother, Dudley. This bonded pair compliments one another in the best possible way. They will need to be adopted together.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on shots, and given any type of treatment that is necessary for their well-being. They will be medically ready at the time of adoption. The average donation fee for adoptions is $200. Puppies are $250 and seniors are $150.

The first step in the process is to complete an Adoption Application. Upon receipt of your application, we take the following steps:
1. Call your vet(s) and landlord, if applicable, for reference checks.
2. Conduct a phone interview.
3. Perform a home visit. We require, if at all possible, all family members who need to be onboard with the new addtion be present at the home visit.
4. Upon approval, a meet-n-greet with your desired dog will be arranged at your home.

We do not have a facility. All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Check our web site's home page often. It'll let you know which foster event we'll be attending next so you can see all the dogs. Our Web site is: www.bassetrescueacrosstexas.org.

More about this rescue

We are a non-profit organization staffed solely by volunteers devoted to the rescue of unwanted, abused, and homeless basset hounds in the Dallas, Texas area and surrounding regions. As we are funded entirely by donations from the public, the continuation of our work depends on the generosity of each one of you.

Bassets are rescued from shelters or received directly from owners who feel unable or unwilling to continue to care for them. The basset is placed in one of our organization's volunteer foster homes where it may be evaluated in terms of temperament and behavior. Medical conditions are addressed and all unaltered animals are spayed/neutered prior to being adopted by their new "forever families."

In conjunction with our rescue activities, educating the community regarding responsible and humane pet ownership is another aspect of our mission. This includes informing the public of the current pet overpopulation crisis, the benefits of spaying/neutering programs, and the dangers of irresponsible breeding.

Finally, our group is also focused on promoting a sense of community amongst those who are "owned" by a basset hound (or would like to be.) We are open to your suggestions for different activities and will plan future events based on attendees' feedback.
