Everyone is rooting for you Devon, especially all
those senior houndies they’re the best!
And the young ones who know they will be seniors one day.
It is truly an act of love you do (I believe you were chosen as a special messenger “angel” for
these guys.
Bassets are wonderful & they should never have to suffer alone when they get older.
Drool Rules,
Houndie Hugs,
Pawsies crossed,

We will vote for you tonight. All the houndies at our house give you a paws up.
We’re all rooting for Devon and have emailed everyone we know to do the same.
Our precious senior houndies deserve so much from us. They are such wonderful souls Each time I look into Dart’s eye (my most handsome senior) i turned to jelly.
Thanks for all the work you are putting into this, Devon. Lots of drool that the voters know a good thing when they see it!

Devon,
We are so excited about your dream. I have always wanted to open a retirement center for senior hounds. If I ever win the lotto or come into some money that is what I’m going to do. We will be voting for you and your dream. Bailey & Hannah (my bassets) are sling Texas size drool for you and your dream. Best of Luck
Gail (slave to Bailey & Howling Hannah)
Devon, may the drool be with you. I’m so looking forward to seeing you win. My vote is for you and the hounds. This will be a wake up call for all those who have no idea how many homeless animals actually exist. Thank you for standing up for all the furkids.

Good luck! You’ve got a lot of support in the houndie and rescue communities. I’ll be watching and voting! Daphneyland is a wonderful idea and I hope it gets to happen!
Devon, I have sent an e-mail to everyone I know telling them to watch tonight and vote for your dream! All 20 pawsies are crossed at my house that you win tonight!!! Best of luck,

Devon , the very best of luck tonight,i have been praying for you. God knows a good heart. Ken Johnson,Lemon Drop & Buster (Suncoast Basset Rescue

Devon,
My husband and I think what you are doing is simply wonderful. I had mentioned to him quite a while back that that is what I would do if some day I were lucky enough to win the lottery. Then along came you! What a wonderful young lady you are. It just restores ones faith in humanity.
Last summer we adopted our 8 yr. old basset, Maggie. She is such a joy to have added to our family…we also have Molly, a 2 yr. old beagle, and Sophie, an 8 yr. old cat. Along with Maggie came several medical problems and countless trips to the vet, so we fully understand the added care the senior basset requires. Many people do shy away from adopting seniors for that reason. I’m so glad that now there will be a place for them. I am very confident that you will win as this is such a selfless thing for a young person such as yourself to be doing. My husband and I tried to do our part by printing up quite a few of the flyers and distributing them to all of our co-workers. Best of luck to you! Our family will be watching and calling.
God bless you,
David & Barbara Vasquez
Maggie, Molly, and Sophie
Mesa, AZ.
Romeo, Juliet, Daisy Willow & Watch are sending special winning drool your way!! Plus they have directed all humans to vote, vote, vote so the senior hounds can have their very own retirement santuary! What a wonderful dream!!!
Good luck, we’ll we watching tonight!
Dear Devon,
Although we will not be able to see the show out here in South Africa, we wish you well and want to say Thank You for caring for all Bassets.
Good luck, we have the url and will vote if we can.

Good luck Devon…we are so excited for you and the senior hounds at Daphneyland! We plan to hopefully visit this summer as we used to live in Palmdale, not too far from Acton!
We copied flyers and posted at local businesses and have forwarded all the info about the show onto ALL of our family & friends…hope you feel the love coming from everyone 🙂
Just wanting this dream for the seniors shows how much you care!

Devon,
We will be watching the show tonight and voting to help make your dream come true. Your dream is the best to have. Senior hounds are special as you know. We have two “younger” senior bassets in our home now who will be cheering you on tonight too, along with Mazzie and our pup. Take deep breaths, relax, and spend some time with all the senior bassets while you wait for the show tonight.
You are wonderful.
Dee, Maggie, Mazzie, Greta the foster, and Oliver
Hi, Devon…I’ve sent the word far and wide about this show, and you have SO many of us who work so hard for needy homeless pets that will be cheering you on! Bless you for all you do, gal!!!
Warmly,

We hope your wildest dream is fulfilled tonight! Gina (our remarkable hound and former resident of the Daphneyland Rescue Ranch who now resides with us in New Orleans) and I have alerted all of southeast Louisiana to have their fingers ready to dial or key in their vote for you when it’s time! THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything you do for these wonderful creatures…you’re a true champion for the hounds, no matter what tonight’s outcome is.

Devon,
I can’t eat – I can’t sleep – I am so excited for you that I can hardly breath! Being a part of basset hound rescue with you has been one of the best things to ever happen to me – and to have graduated to such a fantastic organization as BARNI has made so many things possible that I could not have imagined. Thank you for reminding me that there are some humans that are good and that together we can save the worls – one dog at a time.
Love you XOXO
Kerri
Dear Devon, we are all voting for your precious DREAM to come true!!

Twis I (Paddie) of Paddie and The Country Bumpkins.
We here have all pawed Mom’s puter along with her to vote for Devon. The reason I say we is cause we boted (voted) on line and we was giben 5 botes. Yes that’s right 5 botes.
So we each pawed the puter cause there is 5 of us basset. And guess what My condo mate Andy and I (Paddie) anre SR Hounds to. Well Andy will be in May so it’s close enough to call him SR. He and I (Paddie) are 9 years old.
Good Luck Slobber Kisses to You Devon,
Mom, Paddie and The Country Bumpkins
Devon,
In the midst of the foolishness on the show, your unselfish DREAM of helping senior hounds and houndettes shone like a bright beacon of light! You made every Basset lover proud last night. My heartfelt gratitude for all you are doing!
Your DREAM rules, paws down!
Sandi, Mamaslave to Dozer, Daisy and Delilah
Devon, you were pawsitively great last night. A shining beacon of light & love for your passion, basset hounds & senior bassets. My babies, Cleo & Pongo, got up & cheered with me when you were announced a finalist. We put in 10 calls from our home/cell & had alerted a lot other folks during the week to do the same. I said a prayer & continue to pray today that your dream comes true. I hope America shines through for you & the hounds tonight. Kansas City is sending tons of drool your way for good luck!
Devon,
You made us all so proud! Your video was great and your presence showed the best side of all basset lovers. You were great and we are lucky to have someone like you represent all of our efforts. Drool is flying your way that your Great American Dream is helped on its way. When we heard the prize we realized it would be a start (we know about the cost of vet bills).
Maybe you can convince ABC to run a link to basset rescue(s). The additional publicity you brought to the plight of senior bassets will generate additional donations or potential forever adopters.
You did a great job!
