Female Bassets Needing Homes

Mandy: Think of Barry Manilow's song "Mandy". Oh, Mandy, you came and you gave without taking. But I sent you away. That's kind of what happened to this lovely lass in her past life. Look in the eyes of this 5 year old tri-color beauty. She's pleading with you... "Please take me home and I'll love you unconditionally!" Put in the adoption application if you'd like to meet Mandy. Her adoption fee will be $150. LVBR wishes to thank Arica at Pet'ographique for this lovely portrait of Mandy.

FOSTER HOME NEEDED!

Megan is a 2 yr. old tri-colored gal who came into rescue with Muldoon, also 2 years old. We would like to place them as a pair, if possible, as they seem to be very sweet on each other. They both need a Foster Home ASAP--either together or separately. More on Megan's personality soon.

Gigi is a Collie/Shep mix that LVBR took under their wings after she was found abandoned in the desert by a friend of the rescue. Gigi is approx 3 years old. She's been waiting for that Forever Home for quite awhile now. Gigi's only glitch is that she has a fear of men--but she's working hard to overcome that, with the help of her Foster Mom, Denise. Here's a direct update from Denise about what a wonderful gal Sweet Gigi is:

Gigi is still learning new things every day, but she loves the park, trips in the car, and trips to Petco. She does really well with other dogs, but is still learning to adjust to men. Women, young girls, she is fine with, but men make her stay at a distance and bark until she can go by to the ladies. We have figured out that Gigi must have truly been hurt by a man and will recover from that, but it will take time, patience, and a lot of love. She is learning how to accept treats gracefully, loves laying in the people bed, eating ice cream every once in a great while, and loves playing with stuffed animals. She is great at listening and in the 2 months she has been fostered by me, she has come a long way. She still has a little weight to lose and acceptance of men, but she will be a faithful, loving, devoted companion. Please think about her when you wish to adopt.

Lulu, aka Lucy the Goose, is a huggable red & white who is energetic and happy. She's 8 years young, with emphasis on the YOUNG. She's playful and would do well with kids, since she has a young-at-heart attitude. She can still jump on the bed and couch--no problemo! Beautiful manners when riding in the car and socializing at the dog park. She loves going to the groomer (and the groomer loves her!), but Lucy Goose says the world would be a better place if veterinarian offices were banished from the face of the Earth! But she'll go--begrudgingly. She would probably do best with either just one other dog--maybe a boyfriend that she could bat her big eyelashes at? Or she could be the One and Only Supreme Basset Princess in her forever home. An absolute must for Lulu is the large nylon chew bones (Nylabones) and a rawhide--as she likes to keep her tooth ies busy when you aren't giving her endless belly rubs. Please consider giving this bodacious basset girl a place in your home and heart. Her adoption fee will be $100.

Mollie is a very petite sized Basset girl--one of those pocket hounds that will fit nicely on your lap and not take up much space on your couch--but will fill up a big spot in your heart! She's approx. 6 years old, tri-colored. Take a look at her beautifully marked left ear. Mollie is a little shy at first but warms up quickly to new people. Please consider this deserving hound and let her bring in the New Year with a devoted new family. Her adoption fee will be $150.

Princess is a little basset--only about 33 lbs., so she'll fit very nicely on your lap. Princess is shy and unsure of what's going on. She lost her home when her family moved and couldn't take her. She needs someone to reassure her and tell her that all will be okay. She's only 6 years old. If you are the type that wants a little hound that you can treat like a princess than this Princess is for you. All you need to add is love mix generously with kindness--and you have the recipe for a great companion. Her adoption fee is $150.

Lovey lives up to her name--she's a love! She's friendly to everyone and craves attention--a typical basset. We believe that Lovey is about 7-8 years young and she's still a bouncy hound. Lovey would enjoy car rides, walks when it's cool, and visiting friends and neighbors with you. She needs a home and someone to love---could that be you? Her adoption fee will be $150.

Sasha is approx. 1 year old. She's a deep mahogany red and white color with a dark, dusky face. Sasha is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. She absolutely loves romping with other dogs, so she'd make a great playmate for another active dog. Sasha is an expert climber and can leap tall x-pens in a single bound! Her legs are a little longer than a regular squatty basset, so she'd do well with some stairs. In fact, with her penchant for scaling tall objects she'd probably be a great hiking companion or up for a little light jogging. Sasha is thin and light boned, she could use a little fattening up. Since she's quite the little chow hound, putting some weight on her will be no problem. Please consider giving this little girl the second chance that she deserves. Her adoption fee will be $250.

Dixie (Special Needs) is a beautiful tri-color gal 8 years old who acts much younger. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, and kids, too. Dixie is a lovebug. After coming into rescue it was determined that Dixie has Addison's Disease. Addison's is treated with monthly injections of a drug called Percortin-V and very low doses of prednisone daily. Basically Addison's is where the adrenal gland is not producing enough essential hormones to support the body. You can read more about Addison's disease (it's symptoms, treatments, etc.) at the support site  www.addisondogs.com  Addison's is a fairly expensive condition to treat--and we know this may be a stumbling block to Dixie being adopted. The Percorten-V shot is given approx. once a month and the cost is about $100 per shot. Over time, the length between shots can usually be stretched. One of our other Addison's dogs--Bennie (who's a permanent foster with us now) has been living just fine with Addison's for over 2 years now and we are able to stretch his shots to two every 3 months or so. Dogs who get the necessary treatment live very normal lives. Dixie has been doing great in her foster home since her treatment started and is a very happy girl. Donations to help with Dixie's treatments are greatly appreciated.

Adoption Pending!  Keno has been waiting far too long for a new home! She's beautiful, well-mannered and only 4 years old. Won't you consider giving this hound with the Vegas inspired name a Forever Home? Here is what her foster mom, Carole, has to say about Miss Keno: "I call her Princess K. She is the sweetest dog, and smart as a whip. The other dogs go and watch TV, K is always by my side, whether it's the home office, watching TV, or getting ready for work. She only barks when the doorbell on TV rings. She's just very sweet and very quiet. She's particular about her treats, but loves ice cubes...bats them around and then chews on them! She would be great for anyone, even an older person or couple, as once she knows the routine she remembers it exactly. Keno rides well in the car, loves the dog park and is very sociable. She gets along great with other dogs. We do know from past experience she enjoys a little recreational cat chasing , so might be best in a home with no cats. She is not afraid of men, but is shy around them at first. She gravitates towards women first, then sidles up to the men! Keno is just an all-around great dog and anyone would be lucky to have her." See, doesn't she sound great? Please put in an application if you'd like to meet this sweet little gal. Her adoption fee is $150.

Adoption Pending! Snowflake is a lovely lass, almost all white with light brown markings. She's just had a dental so has a pearly white, fresh smile. Snowflake is a little shy upon first meeting but warms up nicely once she knows she's safe in your arms. She gets along great with both dogs and cats. At 7 years young, she's still young at heart and needs a loving family to call her own.

Adoption Pending! Colleen is a beautiful red & white girl with all of the freckles you'd expect to go with her coloring. We believe her age to be between 3 and 4 yrs., and she has the house manners, intelligence and temperament that show exactly why dogs this age are just about perfect for any home. Colleen was found as a stray by a family that has had prior contact with LVBR. They knew to call us for help. Despite our best efforts, we did not find her owner and now hope to give Colleen a new forever home. She is currently being fostered in a home with a young child and another dog, and she get along famously with both. If you'd like to meet this lovely lass just in time for Christmas, please put in an online application. Colleen's adoption fee will be $150.
