I know I have said it before, but not since I adopted buppy #3 in the past 3 years.<BR>
<BR>
Why 'since I want a puppy I can't rescue' should ever go through anyone's mind is beyond me! It just is not true. Almost all the rescues I hear from and about have had puppies this year - some have had LOTS - ask NEBHR - ask AZBHR - ask GABR!<BR>

This year we adopted Bruno from Helping Paws Humane Society. He was taken to a kill shelter at about 10 weeks old because 'he was getting too big' for the people who bought him from a backyard breeder. HPHS pulled him - brought him to me to foster - and he had his forever home about 12 hours later!<BR>
<BR>
In 2008 we adopted Sweet Pete from Basset Rescue of Florida. He came to us at 16 weeks but had been in foster care for a month previous to that. In 2007 we adopted Hannah Lee Dawg from Basset Rescue of Florida. She was left at a vet to die of Parvo. They lost her sister but saved Hannah Lee - or Little Angel as they called her at the vet. She came to us at 12 weeks old.<BR>

Go to <A href="http://www.petfinder.com">www.petfinder.com</A> and type in your city or zip code. I can almost guarantee a basset, or mostly basset mix can be found within driving distance of whereever you may be! All three of ours appear to be purebred and are sweet and beautiful.<BR>

I apologize for re-posting the same old thing. Just please don't say 'can't' 'rescue' and 'puppy' in the same sentence!!!!!<BR><BR><BR>
