Howllo Fellow Hound and Senora Lovers:

This just in from Madison Humane Society

Rescue needed! – OHIO, London – Basset Hound female

Permission to cross post!

*Contact person is: betty@madisonhumane.org

http://www.hsmcohio.com/

or call the shelter at: 740-852-7387.

The Madison County Animal Shelter in London Ohio is the county dog shelter operated by the local humane society. We always have to have room for strays.

We have a pure basset hound female (possible spay scar on belly), older (maybe 7 years), stray. Nobody has called on her, and her stray time is up! Would love for an approved rescue to take this one if if possible. She is dog friendly, loves to cuddle, can’t stand being in the shelter. Can’t remember if we heartworm tested her today or not. I am attaching 2 pictures of her. Very sweet girl we are calling her Senora.

*If you are an approved rescue who can take this girl in, please let us know ASAP. Either email: betty@madisonhumane.org, or call the shelter at: 740-852-7387.

Thanks,
Betty
