Basset Hound puppies and dogs in Little Canada, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Basil! From the foster: Basil is the absolute sweetest little thing that I have ever met. She will do just about anything to be able to sit on your lap and snuggle with you. She is not only so adorable, but incredibly gentle and loving. I honestly could not ask for a foster who was more heart warming that Basil. Before we get into things that are important to know about Basil, there are two things that you should know about my house 1) I have two hairless cats that like to sit on the heater and them walk around smelling my warm, freshly baked kitty loaf and 2) I have a small dog that seems to occasionally be a portal for a demon. Summoning the demon has something to do with food but I haven't been able to work it the details of it yet. Basil is GREAT with children. The day that I picked her up from the office, I had to stop by to get my kids from school on the way back. I was wishing that I had Basil in a crate because she seemed scared, but when she saw my kids the first thing she did was crawl into my eight year old daughters and fall asleep. She adores that and is so gentle and kind with them. Basil appreciated a slow into into my large dog. She seemed unbothered by my small dog at first, but was more guarded to my large dog. After an hour of sniffing through a gate and then going on a walk together, she was ready to play. They have been great friends since, even though my large dog plays rougher than her. Basil has some resource guarding and has had some squabbles with my little dog. My large dog is laid back around food, she doesn't care if another animal approaches her while eating. She and Basil have food and treats together just fine. Basil and my small dog do not and have fought over scraps that have fallen on the floor. Basil lived with a cat before that she was fine with. Basil did try to chase my cats at first, which caused them to run and leave delicious cat loaf aroma in their wake. It proved to be too much, and she spent many days after trying to chase them. Two of my cats have since gotten used to Basil and she has learned they aren't so fun to chase any more. She will still try to chase the third who really doesn't care for her. Dog saavy cats will be fine for Basil. When Basil is on the chase for something, she sounds like a trombone being tuned. This will not stop until the urge is satisfied. Due to this, if you have small pets like rabbits or ferrets, Basil will not be the right dog for your house unless you plan to have no visual contact between them. I once thought it might be fun to take Basil to the park and let her see the squirrels that were collecting nuts off the walnut tree. When we got there, it seems that Basil left her body and all that remained was a hound: primitive, instinctive, full of blood lust. Read the dirtiest line from a cheap romance novel, and it will apply to Basil when she sees a squirrel. I won't go into detail about what happened that day, but I will never forget the squirrel hunt of '23, mostly because I will permanently walk with a limp because of it. RIP functioning spinal cord. It would have been easier and less noisey to herd 10 geese into my car that day. Basil MUST have a secure, fenced yard or always be on a leash. When she seems a rabbit, squirrel, or even a cat outside, you no longer exist. It's just her and her sweet joy. Because Basil does have a tendency to chase one of my cats, she spends a bit of her day in the kennel. She doesn't like this, but is learning to settle down with a high reward treat. You might want to reconsider shared walls due to this. Basil knows to sleep in her kennel now at night and does fine in there. She does great potty training on her kennel/walk/playtime/repeat schedule. She does like to potty/poop multiple times when let out for potty breaks- she needs time for that noise to work which spots to go in. If you've made it through all of these details about Basil's personality, all you have to do is ask yourself the two age old question all basset hound owners ask themselves: how much do I like the smell of a hound and how much do I like treating ear infections? If the answer to those two questions are LOVE IT, Basil just might be the right dog for you!

I do not like loud noises, and I am initially shy, but I warm up quickly then my playful side emerges! Hee, hee!! I am crate trained but am still working on potty training and since I have the luxury of a fenced yard, I don’t have much leash experience either so I will need my new yard to be fenced too. I have never met any cats, but I am good with kids and other dogs. My favorite activities are playing with my resident fur sibs, verbally expressing my excitement, and partaking in some small Milk-Bone treats…YUMMM!! I truly am the sweetest girl EVER and I am simply looking for a fur-ever home with a patient family who will love me unconditionally and NEVER give up on me! Hopefully YOU will be my new family because I would love to spend the rest of my life by your side! I promise, I’m totally worth it and I will love you more than I love myself!  Love, Copper Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders.  Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a  particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit.  Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.       ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend.  Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/   Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.  All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience.  If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website  www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications  and fill out a foster application.

From the day I was just a widdy biddy puppy, life has taken me on quite a journey. But now, in my golden years, I'm a sweet and wise lady. You might remember me from when I was a young pup in the rescue system,, but here's an up-to-date look at the mature me! I'm a middle aged dog, a beautiful blend of Basset Hound and Catahoula dog and my name is Rosemary. Life started rough for me; I was picked up like trash from the streets, riddled with fleas and worms. But with the care and love of my foster family, I've come a long way. The worms and fleas are gone, and my appetite is for good food after all the great food and treats my humans have given me. Though I used to be a scaredy-cat,, I've traded those hair raised reactions for happy, tail-wagging feelings. My shell is almost entirely cracked now. I'm ready for someone to love me for me! I'm more than just a smart cookie; I've learned the ropes and the doggie door in no time. I'm so efficient that if anything blocks my way to the door, I'll let you know with my signature bork, bork, bork. I haven't had the chance to play with other dogs or puppies due to my recent return to the rescue, but I'm eager to make new friends. I may be a "maturing" lady, but I've still got lots of love to give. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share your golden years with, look no further. I'm ready to add warmth and wisdom to your life, and I can't wait to be a cherished member of your family.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. My name is Mateo but my foster mom calls me shorty, probably because of my short legs. I am a basset hound but my face looks a lot like a German shepherd.  I’m very sweet and affectionate. I sleep quietly in my crate at night and I haven’t had any accidents at my foster moms house. Some nice people in Mexico found me when I was living on the streets and struggling to find food. I recently made a very long trip up to MN and now I’m hoping to find a warm home with loving people. I’m not sure how I would do in a home with cats because I haven’t met one yet. I love other friendly dogs but I’m not very good at sharing my food and treats so those need to be put away when I’m playing with other dogs. I’m not sure how I would do with kids but I bet I would love them. I love humans. Can I be your new family member? Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $525.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 30, 2023, 6:07 pm
