[Dailydrool] A plea for basset placement help

[Carmen Kraus]

  We are accepting a job Near Richmond VA.  That's a 24 hour straight 
drive, no puppy potty breaks, 1400 miles from here.  As it stands I 
don't have a running vehicle once hubby starts the job out there.  I can 
barely pay vet bills right now.  We stand losing a chunk of change 
selling this house because we are going to have to sell it at a loss due 
to the crappy economy.  From what we know at this time we are going to 
have to rent, we will not be able to buy again for a long while.
[b]I have to get Sally and Schroeder placed immediately.[/b]  Kelvin and 
Gus are going to stay with my mom in Richmond for a few months so that 
we can look more appealing to prospective places with just 2 dogs if we 
can't find a small farm to rent.  Trust me, we are going to find a farm 
to rent if it kills me.  Not going to tell them how many cats, never do, 
never had a problem.
Sally and Schroeder deserve a better place than here, they deserve more 
attention that I can give them with so many others I have to tend to 
that have serious medical issues.  They are great bassets, but they have 
always been fosters to us.

S and S's info:
Sally and Schroeder are a senior pair of bassets looking for a 
retirement home.  Schroeder is 10 and Sally is 9.  They have been in 
this rescue for 2 years now (since 7/12/2008), have survived heartworm 
treatment and a failed adoption.  Both have plenty of life and love left 
to give but they would like to give it to you together.  Both are fairly 
active though they really do like that couch when they can get to it.  
Sally is so soft and cuddly and Schroeder loves to sleep right on top of 
your feet.  Both are fairly well behaved though specific commands are a 
little lacking, they know a few things but Sally doesn't sit on 
command.  They both know out, off, leave it, no, enough.  Schroeder 
knows wait but doesn't like it, he also knows sit, stay (doesn't like 
that one either) and lay down.
Sally is blind from glaucoma, but you'd never know it once she learns 
your house/yard and needs a buddy at all times.  Schroeder has NOT met a 
food he will not eat and he is a counter surfing, cabinet opening, bag 
ripping master.  If it's out he will find a way to get it so you'll need 
to be on your toes when it comes to food.  A very secure yard is a must, 
they like to take unapproved trips down the street!!  Both are great 
with cats, we have 7 here with them and have no trouble.  They are also 
living with 3 other bassets and a dane mix so they do get along quite 
well with other laid back, easy going dogs.  They do not, however, 
handle aggressive dogs very well.
Due to her blindness Sally is easily startled and may not do well with 
very young children or small dogs or young kittens, but she does love 
children.  Schroeder has what we jokingly refer to as 'tunnel vision' 
and just barrels his way through whatever to get wherever so toddlers 
are not on his ok list, we call him "Tank Hound" for a reason!  He also 
has the start of cataracts.
They are currently located in Mason, TX
UTD on all shots, meds.  Both need dentals, I can have them done here 
for $100 each if the new owner wants to pay for it, our vet is cheap!

I need help.  Please.
