Rescue stops for no Birthday! LOL
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Rescue Lovers: Grandma and I took Grandpa out for lunch today for his 83rd birthday. This is him with some flowers my older sister sent to him!
After lunch we drove over to a place called Western Hills to check on a basset hound that is up for adoption via SAAP. This organization is an an all breed rescue that is headed up by the Animal Control Officer in our area. This is how rescue should and does work in our area. I am honored to witness it first hand. We are very fortunate to have our AC officer.
However, to back track a bit, I had Ms. Suzanne Fitch of Mid Atlantic also stepping in and willing to take this guy. Chris Dowd of All Ears Basset Sanctuary was also helping to make sure this lonely soul had a place to land! What would I do without the kindness of KY lovers?
So, here his is. He still needs a home! Mr. Kentucky! About 3 years old, neutered, and wondering why he wound up here? Most likely he was turned out. No one came looking for him. He was at the pound for about 3 weeks. I have to credit the pound for keeping him that long. They really like him.
This guy was so scared and pulling on the leash like his neck was made of steel!
Himz was so scared and just shaking. He had just had a neuter 2 days ago! Sigh……
Oh, poor boy! I finally got him to sit with me for a few seconds.
Here is Aunt Kit Kat (what my nephews call me) showcasing his long ears! Look how pretty his spotting is!
Then he stood so pretty for Grandma!
Mr. KY was in one of about 30 cages in this adoption event. He needs a home. Do you need an addition to your home?
Let me know and I will will hook you up!
Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Gosh, he looks younger than 3… maybe he’s just skinny 🙁
Poor boy – I am so relieved that he is safe, and I hope his forever family comes along soon!
Oh…..my goodness — He looks so much like Gabe! Wouldn’t he of made Gabe a great partner. I would take him in a minute if I didn’t have my own, and if one of them was more accepting. Cat, you are such an angel for stepping in to help him. Please keep us posted!!! AND……HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!!! That is such a great picture…..Grandpa certainly doesn’t look 83.
He is beautiful! Poor thing. I hate it that he’s so scared but you can’t blame him. And Grandpa looks good!
He is such a handsome fellow. I always want to cry when I see and read of animals in need of loving homes. Thankfully in the world there are folks like you Cat,HOP and the other rescues out there. On behalf of all of us THANK YOU.
Grandpa you look Wonderful, once again Happy Birthday.

He looks thin, like he needs some meat on those bones. I wish I could take him, but my condo assoc. has a rule on one pet per unit.
I am glad that you and others are looking out for him.
Tell me Cathy, since you are an expert. Do you think dogs ever forget the trauma of being abandoned/turned out?
[…] This guy is still in a foster home and waiting for his forever home. I blogged about him back on my Dad’s 83rd birthday. […]
