IN
MEMORY Lady Gaga, a sweet senior Basset Hound, recently passed away at our kennel in Maryland. We did the best we could to keep her comfortable and tried to help her find a new home. Upon visiting her for video and pictures, we found her to be a sweet and friendly girl, and Dee and the rest of the crew at the kennel were doing a fine job of taking care of her. We would like to thank two of the caring volunteers at the kennel who helped Lady Gaga rest in peace. Thank you to Kat Homan-Soul for offering to bury Lady Gaga on her property, a lovely 6 acre farm in Baltimore County. And thank you to Kathy Quinn for assisting Kat in giving Lady Gaga a respectful and loving burial. She is now at peace in a beautiful, restful setting. We would also like to take this opportunity to also thank all of the volunteers and animal advocates that take their time to visit with, walk, and promote adoptions for all the dogs in need at our kennel, and at other locations. THANK YOU KAT AND KATHY FROM BHRL! |

NEWS!
The
Basset Hound
Rescue League
has helped
thousands of
neglected,
abused and
abandoned dogs
over the past
25 years. Due
to
the current
economic
situation,
owners are
surrendering
their dogs
in record
numbers. We
are
overwhelmed
and in urgent
need of money
to pay the
veterinary and
kennel bills
for these dogs
while they
recuperate and
find forever
homes.5.15.12 - Our friend Cyndi out in southern Ohio has rescued two Bassets, and a Aus.Shep/Bernese mix that just have five puppies! More info as the puppies get older (6-8 weeks to wean them).  
 Waldo (2) Wilma (6) Cleo (2) + 5 puppies 5.15.12 - Congratulations to Bob (Basset) on his adoption, and thanks to the Anderson Family! We know Bob was quite a handful at first, but we are glad you worked with him and have given him a loving home! 4.27.12 - Congratulations to Rosie (Beagle) on her adoption, and thanks to the Farrell Family! 4.22.12 - Congratulations to Gracie (Hound Mix) on her adoption, and thanks to the Frasche Family! 4.22.12 - Congratulations to Chester (Jasper) (Hound Mix) on his pending adoption, and thanks to the Hagar Family! 4.6.12 - Happy Easter and good news for adoptions. Congratulations to the brothers Archie and Bart (Bassets) on their adoption, and thanks to the VanCamp family! 3.21.12 - We have a new fax number for the next month or so. Fax (866) 625-4630 3.14.12 - We just rescued (with the help of our friend Cyndi) four dogs that had less than 24 hours left to live at a kill shelter in Ohio. Please help us out with the over $600 in costs to save these dogs, feed board them, deworm them etc. See Bess, Cooper, Chester and Carson. 3. 9.12 - We would like to thank the family and friends of Karen T. Hayasaka, who have honored her passing with donations to BHRL in her memory per her request. PLEASE HELP A RESCUE DOG TODAY! For each neglected dog, BHRL pays an average of $250 for a veterinary exam, diagnosis and treatment of some existing conditions, required shots and spay/neuter surgery. The cost of caring for a dog with a serious condition can easily be over $1,000. Please consider supporting our rescued dogs with a donation. A contribution in any amount is welcome, but you may want to become a Sponsor with a donation of $250 or more. At this level, you select the animal you wish to sponsor and, if you would like to meet this lucky dog, a visit can be arranged! All contributions, no matter how large or small, are urgently needed to offset our increasing veterinary care and shelter costs and will be greatly appreciated. Please see the inspiring story of Augie, one of our most recent rescues, and send your donation, payable to BHRL, to the address above. |

AUGIE
Augie, a
Basset Hound,
was rescued by
a wonderful
group of
college
students in WV
who had seen
him living in
the woods near
their
apartment for
several
months. When
they
discovered he
was friendly,
they brought
him inside and
instantly fell
in love.
Financially
unable to keep
him, they took
up a
collection for
vaccines and
flea
treatment and
contacted
BHRL.Augie is around 12 years old, has malformed front legs, knees askew and one foot almost facing backwards when he stands. He has a baseball-sized tumor on his right hind ankle, he is deaf, underweight by almost 30 pounds and has Lyme Disease. Augie was neutered, so we know he had a home before he was lost or abandoned to survive in the woods. Even with his health issues, Augie has very quickly gone from a somber guy to a handsome, incredibly sweet, tail-wagging couch potato who enjoys his belly rubs and treats. Augie will remain in foster care and BHRL will provide all necessary treatment as long as he is with us. |
