  • Homer (D851), Age 6 years and 0 months

    Homer

    Happy Homer is waiting for you. This boy is approx. 5-6 years of age and is so full of happiness that he bounces around like Tigger. Joy! Joy! Joy! Not to worry--he doesn't bounce all the time, just when he first meets you. He thinks people who pet him are better than Milk Bone treats. He loves life and everyone in it. His previous family could no longer care for him, but admit they were losing a wonderful friend. Homer just had a dental so his breath is minty fresh. He's ready to shower you with love and minty kisses. If this boy tugs at your heartstrings, please put in the application to meet Homer. His adoption fee will be $150.

    Homer has been with LVBR for 0 weeks.

  • Chips (D827), Age 0 years and 6 months

    Chips

    Chips is a 6 month old Basset/Beagle mix, who is full of puppy playfulness. Chips needs a home that has dog experience because he does have a strong personality. He's going to need exercise, training, guidance, and an abundance of love. That's what every pup needs! Chips gets along with other dogs, loves to play. He'd do best in an adult home, or one with children over the age of 12 years. He's as cute as can be and is ready to learn to be a good canine citizen. His adoption fee will be $250. If interested in little Chips, please put in the online application.

    Chips has been with LVBR for 1 weeks.

  • Henry (D849), Age 5 years and 1 months

    Henry

    Henry is not a Basset--obviously. But he came to us under very special circumstances and needed our help. Henry is a very handsome, gentle, and smart dog. Has a forgiving soul. He's had to. We'll have more details on Henry soon. But we wanted you to feast your eyes--and maybe spread the word about this wonderful guy. Please put in the adoption fee if intersted in Henry.

    Henry has been with LVBR for 2 weeks.

  • Misty (D850), Age 4 years and 4 months

    Misty

    Beautiful Misty is approx. 4 years old and has resided in a home with other dogs, cats, and kids. She gets along with everyone! She was left behind with a family friend when the owner fell on hard times. Previous owner is not able to take her back, so Misty is available to love again. She's a lovely dark tri-color, very well-behaved, rides great in the car, and walks easily on a leash. If you'd like to meet Miss Misty, please fill out the online application here on our site. Her adoption fee will be $150. This is a wonderful little girl, on short-stubby legs.

    Misty has been with LVBR for 2 weeks.

  • Snoopy (D838), Age 1 years and 0 months

    Snoopy

    Snoopy, just one year old, is one hunk of a hound. He weighs in at about 60 lbs. already. Big-boned, with muscles toned, this is a very special boy. Besides his large size, his other claim to fame is that he is a true black and white basset--we can't find a brown hair on him. Couple that with his shiny coat and super long ears, this fellow is a knock-out. And, he looks very dapper in his top hat, don't you think? The photographer thought he looked to be wearing a tuxedo already--so she completed his outfit with a formal top hat! Of course, for all his subperb looks, this guy has a high-maintenance side for now. Snoopy is still in the chewing--and swallowing--stage of his youth. He needs a family that will supply him with safe, dog appropriate toys and keep him away from remote controls, landscaping rocks, etc. Someone who can cope with his chewing fetish until he outgrows it is what we're looking for. Another dog for playtime fun will also help keep Snoopy on the straight and narrow. Please put in the online application if you are interested in Snoopy. We'll be happy to give you the 411 on this magnificent boy. His adoption fee will be $250 .

    Snoopy has been with LVBR for 2 weeks.

Basset Facts! Did you know?

  1. Basset hounds are not small dogs; they just have short legs.
  2. Bassets, with their long ears and flappy lips, can be messy and are known to drool at times.
  3. The Basset hound voice, barking or howling, can be loud and insistent.
  4. Basset hounds can have a distinct hound body odor.
  5. Basset hounds do shed, some more than others.
  6. The trademark long ears are prone to infection if not kept meticulously clean inside and out.
  7. Bassets are true scent hounds and therefore must be contained by a fence or leash at all times.
  8. A Bassets' greatest desire is to be kept close to their human family, enjoying all the companionship that closeness entails.

Ready to adopt?

You've done your research—you are convinced the basset hound is the breed just right for you! You are ready to adopt and may even see a basset in our listings pages that appeals to you.

Perhaps you even have a Basset now, or had one in the past—you're probably well–versed in being owned by a Basset Hound! If this will be your first Basset experience, we encourage you to continue your research to find if this is the right breed for your family situation. A great source of information is The Daily Drool.

There are several ways to apply to adopt an LVBR basset. For your convenience, we provide adoption process information, an online adoption application, and optional downloadable PDF and Word files on our Adoption Application page.

(If you are interested in a particular adoptable basset, please note the name and identification number for use during the application process.)
