<DIV>Basset Hound Name :Jagger</DIV>
<DIV>Location: Iowa</DIV>
<DIV>Iowa Bassett Rescue in Sioux City said they had no more openings to take him</DIV>
<DIV>Male Tri-Colored<BR>Turned 10 on March 15th, 2012 - just a few days ago<BR>He is current and up to date all all his vaccinations until May 16th.<BR>He is both neutered and housebroken.<BR>He is great around kids and loves attention. Gets along well with people and other Basset's. Very playful when you try to grab at his front feet (paws) he tucks them under and starts to bark at ya...it's funny and cute. If you get him to wound up, he tears around the house like a mad man.<BR>He drinks a lot of water, so I give him fresh water at least 3 times a day.<BR>I also give him 4 treats a day for his joints an coat the in peanut butter, these are only $1 a bag at Dollar Tree stores and I have about 4 extra bags to go along with him. These treats keep his joints healthy and help in repairing any damage that may occur in torn ligaments, etc. It's a cheap and effective way to keep his joints functioning like they should.<BR>When he gets cold, he likes to be covered with his blanket, so just his head sticks out..lol...when he gets to hot, he'll just crawl out of the blanket and lay in front of a fan.<BR>He likes to bark in 3's when he gets wound up, he is a fun boy!<BR>Just gave him last does of Heartgard on March 17th - He will need more<BR>Has 1 dose left of Advantage 2 for Flea and Tick Control - Gave him last does of Advantage 2 on March 17th<BR>He is very spoiled and an indoor house dog - he like to sleep in your bed, if you help him up or the couch, although he does have his own dog bed<BR>He does have a lump on the bottom of his chest that should be removed, but I can't afford it.<BR>He is a good dog, he is still playful, fun, loving and loyal and needs to go to a home that will spoil him the same and can afford to take care of his needs with both food and future vet visits, medication, etc.<BR>He is used to be walked everyday, about 10-12 blocks or so and like t let outside often.<BR>He will let you know when he has to go potty, he will either stand by the door or bark or he starts getting ancy...if you say, "Wanna go outside" or "Gotta go potty" he knows what you mean and he's real excited he will bark when you ask him.<BR>He likes it when you play with him, sing to him and talk with him. I use to read to him.<BR>Any questions about why he does what he does then please call me at 712-291-0165 (Tim) and I'll explain what he wants.<BR>He is currently eating canned dog food or soft items as I think his teeth need cleaned and that is why it's hard for him to eat his hard dry food. He use to eat it all the time..I had another Basset who had the same problem until her teeth were cleaned and then she started eating her dry hard dog food again afterwards. Of course, he likes table scraps, treats and human food. I know, I know!</DIV>

<DIV>Info on me...</DIV>
<DIV>My health has been in major decline the last 16 months since my wife divorced me, got the house and took my son! High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, COPD and Congestive Heart Failure. I can barely function let alone even take care of my dog...he needs and deserves much better treatment that I cannot give him anymore. He's a good boy and deserves so much more! No one will help me, no one cares! This even makes me stress even more, which in turn also effects my health. Right now I take 8 different pills everyday for my conditions, and 2 weeks ago they wanted to give me even more pills and I said NO, and twice 2 different Doctors tried to admit me to the emergency room right from the Doctor's office and I declined for lack of funds which would put me under more pressure knowing I owed that money as well. It would just cause more worry. The last visit a few weeks ago, my Doctor is the one who said to get rid of my dog and I told him, it's very hard to even consider that, well now, I can't even find no one who wants him or the responsibility of a dog. I'm left with no choice. My health has gotten so bad that I'm afraid if I never wake up or die in my sleep that my dog would die with me as there would be no one to give him continued food and water and this is not fair to him...this is a serious matter! I've already been informed I've suffered a mild heart attack.</DIV>
