SHELDON GETS A FOREVER HOME!
Howllo fellow hound lovers! Well, Sheldon’s time has finally come! Sheldon gets a forever home! Bassethoundtown.com has been tracking Sheldon since the Georgia Bash back in October of 2006. Lisa and I picked him up at Furry Friends the night before the bash and took him to the pizza party. We instantly fell in love with him. Sheldon’s wait was worth it. His new family lives in Albany. Sheldon’s new Dad, William writes 1-15-07,
Look at Sheldon’s human kids and Jack his basset brother!
“Woof! I was a stray hound in Cobb County, Georgia looking for my forever home. I had lots of adventures along the way. I was picked up by animal control and turned over to the Basset Hound Rescue of Georgia. They have an annual party in October called the Basset Bash. I met a very special lady at the Bash named Cathy L. Rudert who wrote a book called Lily A Basset Hound’s Tail of Love. She took me to the Bash and made a movie that featured me. I gained quite a fan base from all over the world! It took about three months to find my forever home (not just any would do!). Now I live with a basset buddy named Jackson Beauregard Lee. I also have two human brothers and a family that loves me very much. -woof”
Sheldon has a blog on myspace.com
I will show you his first entry, which is very touching. I will add the link at the end of the entry.

The Big Day
Sunday, January 14, 2007 was my big day! It was the day that I was to meet my new family. To tell you the truth, I was about to get tired of all the auditions. It gets pretty stressfull to be seen by loads of folks, just to be left behind time after time. My foster mom, Beth, said that we were going to meet yet another family. woof.
We arrived at the Petsmart and sat outside on the sidewalk. This wasn’t the usual adoption day. Where were all the others? Hey, where was this new family?
Just as I was about to give up, they came from inside the store. They had been there all along!
I gave them the grumble test right off the bat, especially since they brought their “other” dog with them. Guess I passed the test because it wasn’t long after that when they loaded me into the ol’ mini van, and we set out for Southwest Georgia! My dream of finding a forever home was finally coming true!!
I still have a grumble or two for my new found basset brother, but I just adore him as well as the rest of the family! Every dog has his day, and this one was mine!!

Dear Sheldon’s new family,
It brings tears of joy to me to know that Sheldon has finally found a forever home and to see such a wonderful family that he now has. I was with Cathy at the Bash and instantly bonded with Sheldon. He really touched my heart. I would have brought him home that day if it were not for my Chihuahua, Chico at home. Chico is a mamma’s boy and it would have broken his heart to see me love another hound. As we left the Bash I couldn’t even bring myself over to the adoptioin tent to say goodbye to Sheldon, I would have had a complete melt down. It warms my heart to see the love of his new family. I’m sure Chlo and Lily had a paw in him finding his way. Please give Sheldon a big kiss from his “Aunt” Lisa.
With love,
Lisa

Hi know it has been too many years since we have checked in, but I wanted to let you know that Sheldon is still doing great in Southwest Georgia. I had some pictures of him at my brother’s Christmas tree farm this year. I was going to post them, but I cannot do that in the comment section. If you send me an email I will send them right along. Hope everything is great in Bassett hound town!
Arooo!
