My story

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

Gus is a gorgeous boy who is loving life indoors after spending his first 5 years outside. This hound has a giant personality to go with his giant head! He likes to stay busy (there's always something to discover for this curious boy!), he has a lot to say, and he would be best in a house with other dogs or older kids. Gus Gus is guaranteed to be the life of the party! This boy has no chill and no regret, but we dare you not to fall head over heels for him.

Additional adoption info

]The Adoption Process:

1. First, please complete our adoption application.

2. Upon receipt of your application, we will call your vet(s) to ensure your current pets are up-to-date on annual vaccines, have been spayed/neutered, and are on heartworm preventative. We will also contact your landlord, if applicable.

3. Once we've confirmed vet records, our volunteers will contact you for a phone interview and home visit.

4. After approval, our adoption coordinator will contact you to discuss the available Bassets that best match your lifestyle and are most suitable for your home. Not every Basset will be the right one. Our foster families assess each Basset for particular traits and dislikes.

Before adoption, each Basset will be spayed/neutered and will receive all necessary vaccinations, treatments (e.g., heartworm, dental, deworming, etc.), and medications.

More about this rescue

Established in 2007, Basset Buddies Rescue of Texas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
staffed solely by volunteers devoted to the rescue of unwanted, abused, and homeless
Bassets in Houston, TX, and surrounding regions.

RESCUE. We take in Bassets from shelters or directly from owners who are
unable or unwilling to care for them. We do not discriminate based solely on the
dog's age, condition, or medical needs.

REHABILITATE. Before adoption, we place the Bassets in loving foster homes where
they are evaluated for temperament and behavior. We also update all vaccinations,
insert microchips, address all medical conditions, and spay/neuter all unaltered hounds. Most of our Bassets need heartworm treatment, as well. Despite the time and expense, we are committed to providing the most appropriate and humane treatment for every Basset in our care.

REHOME. We work hard to place each Basset with the right forever family. After you complete an application, we will call your vet to ensure all past and present pets are current on preventatives and vaccinations, chat with you via phone, and conduct a home visit—all to match you with the best hound for your home and lifestyle.

We're very proud of the work we do for people and dogs in Houston and surrounding areas.
