1284Howllo Fellow Hound Lovers: It is amazing to me how we rescuers find our nitch. Imagine logging over 15,000 miles in one year in transport and pulling bassets from shelters. Well, that is exactly what Melanie and her basset Bella did. Two angles on wheels. Helping the truely needy. During her travels she noticed many dachshunds just as needy. So, this angel contacted her (unknown to her) future husband, Mack. Mack is the VP for transport and pulling dachshunds for Florida dachshund rescue. Talk about having alot in common. Who knew a bunch of long hounds would make a love match! Well, everyone came together. Melanie brought her six dogs (three doxies, two bassets, and a Clumber) and thirty five birds. Mack brought his three doxies. A family was almost complete. Melanie is due in June with their first child. A baby girl who is named Lilah. That is one lucky kid. She is also appointed as bassethoundtown.com’s resident baby for all to love.
