Lena has a new lease on life……
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and update about Lena Lovers! Well, today was Lena’s big break out day from the pound! Lena was a stray picked up the next city over from me and has been in the pound for about 8 days. She was on a 5 day business hold and mixed in with MLK holiday she was held longer. It seemed no one loved her until Helen from Canada e-mailed me! Armed with her credit card she directed me to pull Lena and take her to my vet for a check and boarding! Get this…..Helen already has a transport set up for Lena this weekend! It was like the planets lined up for our Lena! Here I am this morning collecting our girl. Grandma went with me as usual!
They had her up front waiting for me! She was so excited to get out of the pound.
Actually, our pound is really good but who wants to be in a pound when you can travel to Canada! OH CANADA!
Let’s get the HECK OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
Grandma was on hand to send good vibes to Lena. The day was foggy, damp, and soggy, but our hearts were full of sunshine!
A close up of our newest bassethoundtown.com resident!
The tail never came up. I never saw it wag. But wag it will. You can bet your bottom dollar!
Let’s roll!
Lena walked right up the ramp and into the crate. The next picture is the picture of why we need to help. Poor Lena was so upset in the pound that she wore some of the skin off of her nose trying to get attention while crying. My vet called it pound nose.
No more pound nose for our girl! I asked my vet what we can do to fix that and he said, “You just did. You got her out of the pound.” No more pound nose for our girl!
Here is Lena going into the exam room at my vets office.
Our Lena wanted out the door as fast as she came in!
Looks like a future counter cruiser to me! What do you think?
In comes the Doctor and tighter goes the tail!
I love my vet! Dr. Eric Doan. He is the best and so is his staff. Don’t let that tail fool you! hehehe
Lena was so not loving him like I do!
Heart worm negative! Wooooo Whoooooooooooooo!
Now it is time to rest in a place that is not as loud as the pound. She is boarding at my vet office. Guess who her neighbor is? A male basset hound boarding while his family is out of town! Ah…………howl sweet!
Lena is already set for her transport to Canada! She will leave this weekend.
I just might get her a nice new coat! It’s cold up north!
Helen – please post a comment about your rescue with links. Please tell us what is in store for our Lena!
More loving Lena Later…………..Cat, Chaps and Emma

yeah to you! and grandma! and the vet! and to helen from canada!!!!!! and to transport peeps!!!
and special yeahs to mr basset the neighbor who will help keep her company.
its a good thing when all the planets align and the stars work and the internet works and life is good..isn’t it just amazing how people we have never met all pull together for what is right and just.
billions are donated to help a country floundering from an earthquake…and on a smaller scale one lone basset girl gets saved..all by people who have never met and may never meet..or even speak.
yup..sometimes all is right in the world.
I know what you mean Lois. Giving can happen on a large scale and on a small scale. Lena got pulled from the rubble of her life. It means so much to her. Cat
You guys are so right! Can’t wait to see that tail wag high. Thanks to everyone involved. You guys are the greatest!!!
Well, Cat you did yet once again….saved another soul! Way to go, thank you Cat, Grandma and Helen in Canada. Can’t wait to see photos of Helen and Lena together! We love you for saving her.
Once again the Angel of Bassethound Town has saved the day. Lena is one lucky hound and Helen is one lucky Momma. Thank you Cat for your love and compassion. I love it when a plan comes together.

What a happy story. Cat you are amazing and we could not love you more. Helen, you are super duper. Bless you all for the love and compassion you give!
Hugs,
Kip, Gus, Bonnie and Charlie Bear
Helen, you ROCK! What a wonderfully huge pair of hearts between you and Cat.
I feel that when any Basset gets rescued and Cat and Basset Hound Town are involved that Basset has become specially blessed. Good times are on their way.
Yay!!!
WOOHOO!!!!!! Cat, words cannot express how thankful I am to you for all that you do for hounds. Thank you for saving this senior girl and THANK YOU Helen! Her tail will wag again! My Maggie was the same way for weeks after we got her and after she knew we loved her she is a butt and tail wagger!!! 🙂
Helen is going to get a wonderful friend. Another basset has guardian angels named Cat and Grandma!
Cat this is wonderful:) God Bless you Helen for what your doing, Lenas’ tail will soon raise high and the wag will never stop. This is so wonderful. Cat thanks again for all you do 🙂
Great news!!!
Cat I had the honor of meeting Helen last summer at the BHRO Bustle and she is truly a wonderful caring person just like you!!!
So glad everything came together.
(((hugs)))

Tina! Thanks for the comment. I have really enjoyed working with Helen. Lena is really lucky!
Cat
Oh you gang are too much.. I am just a regular gal that loves bassets too.. Yes I wanted to help her from the moment I saw her listed as ” NONAME” it cut to the bone.. So like Cat said I emailed her in a panic not wanting this gal to be there any longer than necessary.. With the Grace of the Universe and a little help from basseteers Lena will have a second chance at a new life.. Here is the gang she’ll be running with.. lol

Thanks Cat for all your assistance..
