4 The Hounds Basset Rescue, Inc.

Many of our hounds are seniors who have been with us for a long time, or hounds with problems such as blindness, arthritis or other issues that have made them practically unadoptable. Some wonderful people have "virtually" adopted them and help us finacially with their care.

You too can become an Angel if you want to make a significant difference in the quality of life for these needy hounds but are unable to foster or relay. As an Angel, you pledge to contribute towards the care of the hound or hounds of your choice each month as long as the dog is in foster care, or for however long you wish. The amount you wish to contribute and the duration of the contribution is always completely at your discretion.

To arrange becoming an Angel, please contact Gail Sutton at 201-866-7848 or email gail@4thehounds.org

We can never have enough Angels as our medical bills are enormous. Most of us eat prescription food and take numerous medications and we really need monthly sponsors! We get the best of all worlds at 4 The Hounds. Love and cookies never end. Unfortunately all but love takes money and that is where we always fall short.

Please, any donation amount you give is greatly appreciated and direly needed.
All donations are tax deductable and your kindness will be acknowledged here on our web site.

We would like to thank Our Angels at this time!

Amos is 11 years old. He has been successfully treated for heartworm. He is a permanent resident of 4 The Hounds as are all of our babies who desperately need Angels. The more the merrier!

Thank You Wes and Susie!

Amy was actually born at 4 The Hounds. Her Mommy is now living with our Vice President and Adoptions Coordinator, Gail. Amy was one of nine. All of her brothers and sisters went to new homes as she did but poor Amy wasn't as lucky. Unfortunately, she landed in an abusive home. She came back to us at 4 The Hounds and never wanted to leave again. That was just fine by us. Amy is now 9.

Thank You Melissa!

Here is Andy. We believe that Mr. Andy is nearly full basset, or at least a high mix and is around 4 months old. He is one handsome young fellow! He was sent to us in order to find a good and loving home. He's also a bit on the shy side, but will warm up to become a loving and playful companion. Andy has had his first puppy shots but has not been neutered yet.

Thank You Kelly!

Our Baby Belle, as you can see is a Dumpling! Belle came to us three years ago as an owner turn in. Belle had mouth cancer and she still does but as you can see it does not effect her eating. Belle is in no pain as we keep her on (very expensive) pain medication. When she came in we did not expect her to live three months and it is now three years later. Belle is now thirteen.

Thank You Gladys!

Caddie had lived in a home with four children all under the age of five. They had no time for Caddie and she was not happy in their home. They took her to the shelter and the shelter called us. We had her for a short time. She was adopted to a lovely woman whose husband was in the military. She wanted a companion. All was great till the husband came home. He was a wife abuser. Caddie tried to protect her Mom and the husband backed down but said she had to go. The wife got rid of the wrong family member. Caddie came back to us and we said, as the song goes, "Enough Is Enough!" She has become a permanent resident.
Caddie is now 13.

Thank You Christian and Marianne!

Cooper was in a kill shelter and had pneumonia and several other illnesses. He was near death. We took him in with the hopes of him living but our vet wasn't too optimistic. Once he got healthy, we came to realize he had been badly abused and did not trust anyone. We wanted to give him a chance to see how he would progress. Cooper would not even allow us to put a collar on him. Cooper came in at the age of one, he is now six. We have found that over the past year he is now allowing us to bathe him, put a collar on and play with him. When Gladys goes to feed him he rolls over for a belly rub and that just started in the last four weeks.

Thank You Andre!

Dodger is a darling! He's a real sweetheart that loves to play ball but you have to play by his rules. Dodger loves other dogs and seems to be okay with cats. Dodger is six years old. He would love to become part of a family. If you want a real sweety - he is your boy. Dodger knows how to use a doggy door. He is up to date on shots, neutered and on heartworm preventative.

Thank You Neal!

Milton is "Our Uncle Miltie" and is a true clown just like his namesake. Milton is good with other dogs but has no interest in cats as they sashay right past him. He loves to play! Milton is about seven years old and he is a perfect gentleman in the house. Milton can also use a doggy door! He is ready to go to your home, all he needs is to love you and have you love him back!

Thank You Wes and Susie!

Tillie is adorable and at eleven years old, she is the sweetest old lady! She has been with us for many years. She has a very sad story behind her but she loves Gladys and Gladys loves her back. Her Golden Years have truly been golden. Like the rest of our angels she too needs lots of senior medical care and special prescription food.

Thank You Christian and Marianne!
