Stinkin’ lost soul in my area pound!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and not wanting to hear about lost soul lovers:
Well, it seems we have another stinkin’ lost soul in the Campbell County Pound which is my County Pound. He is referred to as NO NAME. How sad for this cute boy. It always seems that the boys are the ones that wind up in my radar.
I am calling him Lou. Kind of a funny story. Today I was at the bank and I was talking to the bank manager about dogs and it turns out she has a 4 year old English Mastiff named Lou. I thought the name was so cute, so I am calling this brave boy Lou as well. I am hoping some of that gigantic English Mastiff courage will rub off on him. However, the woman said her Mastiff was a huge baby. LOL
Lou was a hound at large in Ft. Thomas and the Animal Control Office who I know and respect picked him up. After repeated calls to the owners Lou is still at the pound and today was his release day.
Just a few days ago I was on the phone with Teri, our AC gal. I was interviewing her about how many dogs a person can have in my city. I was doing this because of the hoopla going on about the Murder Hill 11. If you go to my forum you can read all about that mess.
Anyway, we were also talking about how there were not many bassets this summer, Yadda Yadda. She told me there was one but the owners came and got him. Well, it appears I jinxed the “not many bassets” by my comment.
Well it appears that the owners did not collect him. Not only did not come they won’t even return the many calls that were left. This is when I wish I could start cussing on my blog.
So, what to do, what to do? I have several phone calls and e-mails floating around. My dear friend at Outlaw in OH might have room. PAWS CROSSED! She is a very tiny rescue with a 6 dog limit. I totally respect that because if you don’t follow the laws you can have some serious problems.
I just found out about Lou late this afternoon so I basically know nothing. I will get some more info on him tomorrow. He is not in any danger. I confirmed that with my contact at the pound.
He is so cute and looks somewhat youngish! What a brave and bright boy.
Some people just don’t know when there is an angel in their presence.
More about our Lou later……Cat, Chaps and Emma

What a sweet face! I wish I had room for another Lou (I already have Lu) at my house. I’m so glad you found out about him, he is so lucky to have your rescue efforts!
Cat, he is just adorable. I would kill to have Lou with me. The only problem is my wife would kill me. Lou would be worth it though.
What is the matter with people? Thanks for all you do my friend.
We luv ya,
Kip, Gus, Bonnie and Charlie bear
I can’t stop looking at that picture. ((((((Lou)))))))
What I love about the picture is you can see that tail in fast motion. Hounds never quit loving. Even lost and alone his tail is wagging….
We can all learn from that.
Cat
Amen Cat!
Oh, Cat, Lou is a DOLL! His story is what happened to my Leo, who was found as a stray in NJ. The shelter tried to contact his owners every which way and nothing. Their loss, my gain:) I just can’t figure it out because Leo is so well behaved, and well trained on all commands (and we know how hard it is to train a basset;), so somebody worked very hard with him–how on earth could they have just tossed him out??? All paws crossed that Lou gets his furever home very SOON! Thank you, Cat, for taking him under your wing, as it were:)

He quite a handsome fellow, I hope all goes well for Lou.
What a cutie! He looks like he’s saying, “tell me I’m ok, I’m a good boy, I’ll make someone a great pet…” Poor puppy. Doggie kennel mug shots just break my heart. But not this one! Cuz I know that Cat will make sure he’s alright!
he looks young. hopefully someone can help. if there were so darn many homeless bassets here in FL id tell you to get him down here.
Love that sweet face. I shouldn’t be asking, but is he good with cats, dogs & children? I think I’m in love!
Awwww what a sweetheart!!!!
Cat thank you for all that you do(((hugs)))
Oh do I wish I could take him! He is such a sweetheart!
He’s beauoootoful Cat and lucky to bump into you! Btw…Jodye and I pick up our first BROOD foster named Rupert on Monday. Were so excited. It’s like Christmas.
Hang in there Lou!
