Each resue organization has their own criteria. Why the even ask the euthanasia question I have no idea but IMHO it is far better to euthanize a dog than let it suffer through an illnes etc Far better to euthanise a dog than to have one killed because you let it roam loose in the neighborhood So I do not think it would be in anyway a disqualifier but I am not the rescue.
It is becoming the norm to have a two working parent/owner household so that in itself is not an issue what can be an issue is who the dogs are kept during that period. and also the Facilities of the home ie fencend yard etc that is why most rescues with new client will perform a home check when besides check out what facilities you have for the dog will involve and interview etc/
I have fostered for rescue and am single and work so the fact that someone is not there all day in not a disqualifier but it may limit the dogs avaiable because some may not do so well in that environment. It is a matter of matching the right dog with the right home. Just like a dog that may not be great with kids is prefect dog for and older couple. A lot of the question are not designed to qualify or disqualify by to create a good match.
Actual the fact that you have basset and clearly demonstrate a passion for the breed and the capability of providing for them should be an asset. It can seem like the process of adopting you have to jump thoough a lot of hoop but it is done for two reason. 1 is to provide the best match of dog and owner. Many if not most problems are the result of incompatibility between the dog and owner an active dog in a household looking for a quite laid back one etc.
2. unrealistic expectation about the breed. Many new to the breed have the sterotypical coach potato when they think basset and get a crazy 2 year old and are quite disapointed
they are just trying to make sure the dog does not end back up in rescue again.
