New Basset Rescue Too

mollysdad · 03-09-2009, 07:37 PM

Hello, I just joined a couple of days ago. I have had, for a week now, the sweetest Basset Hound. Her name is Molly and she is approx. 6 years old. I got her from a Basset Rescue in Ohio. The folks there had just received her and put her picture up.

The folks at the rescue were going to be out of town but I asked if I could get her before they left. She was in a foster home but had not been to the vet. I took her to the vet on the way home. She is heartworm positive and has tapeworms. She is in treatment for the heartworms now. My wife and I know this drill as our lab rescue dog was also heartworm positive. She is now fine and is a trained therapy dog. We are hoping for the same results with Molly.

She follows me around the house and is currently on the couch beside me curled up asleep.

Anyway, I thought I would stop in and say hi.

Welcome from a fellow Kentuckian! Molly is beautiful. She looks like a female version of my boy Lightning, who is 12. Congrats on getting her, and thank you for adopting her!

Thank you for your kind words. Molly is settling in well. I thought I'd post another picture or two.
