two new fosters here

bagby039 · 05-22-2005, 07:53 AM

Recently i was asked to foster two male basset hounds. They were in a kill shelter and their time was up. They were rescued from this shelter yesterday morning and i met with one of the ladies involved in the rescue. I brought them home and gave them a much needed bath and wanted to share their pictures with you all. Devon is all brown on the head and Mason has alot of black on him mingled with white. Mason is about 6 months old and Devon is an adult dog. They are due for vet work the middle of the week then they will go on the bhra.org website after that with more pictures soon after that. [img]

Thanks for picking them up Robbie...it's the first step towards their new lives!!

Thanks all. It is going to take alot patience and time with Devon. He really acts like he has been beaten severely. I gave the hubby some doggy treats tonight and he was able to feed the treats to him. He is going to keep at it until he can win Devon's trust. I am doing the same. Mason on the other hand know's no stranger and plays with you no matter what. Very loving dog.
This experience is also teaching my husband a few things about rescue and the basset breed. I am hoping that this will pave the way for becoming a regular foster home for more hounds. hehe. Just takes time.

Both dogs have had their vet work done now and are back at home with us. Now the hubby is getting more interested in foster care. Devon is doing much better and was very affectionate last night. I sat on the floor to pet him for quite a while.

Oh what a heartbreaking story but with a hopefully happy ending.
The one lying down with the white stripe down it's nose looks quite a lot like Molly.
Thank you for taking them in and giving them a second chance.
