<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">We get calls and emails daily of
people wanting to surrender their hounds to our rescue. It is really getting
tough for rescues to survive, we have been slinging multiple droolings to
Daphneyland and Golden Gate Basset Rescues. People drive me crazy with
their reasons for giving up their dogs. I had to move into an apartment and
do not have time for my dog now. I have had my dog ten years but now all of a
sudden I am allergic. I got a new baby and my dog is too much trouble. How much
time and attention does a Basset Hound need? I have 15 in my home and they
are very happy sleeping on my couches most of the day. We had one lady who owns
two companies that are very sucessful, plus she has acreage, servants, and three
dogs of her own. She could have afforded to build her own kennel and hire people
to care for her fathers bassets round the clock when he went into a nursing
home. Do you think she would send us a donation for taking in her fathers
dogs?? I told her I was unable to take in any more hounds, I lost my
job and told her I could not take any more dogs and put the 17 other dogs
in our care in financial jeopardy since our rescue finances are so fragile
now. But when I heard they were both eleven years old and she would have to
take them to the pound, soft hearted me went ahead and took them in two old men
Bassets. People make me sooooo crazy. I am glad most of my friends have PAWS.
