<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>North Texas Basset Hound Rescue has coordinated
with other rescue groups to take all the Basset Hounds. I don't know all
of the other rescue groups involved, but do know that Arizona is involved and
that Dawn at Daphneyland has agreed to take 2 older females, ages 8 and
10. Both of these girls weigh about 40 lbs b/c these people bred what they
called Mini/Toy Basset Hounds.</FONT></DIV>

Texas to Daphneyland in California please contact Dawn offlist.</FONT></DIV>
