OTHER AVAILABLE DOGS
Some of whom may or may not be bassets!
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
~ Mark Twain
This page is dedicated to bassets, basset mixes, and other breeds, dwelling in other shelters located throughout the rest of Montana and even the U.S. and Canada. Their contact information is located with their photos and text.
It is our pleasure to provide this service to our fellow rescuers and rescue organizations. Every basset placed in a new, loving, "forever" home is a victory for all of us, whether we were personally involved or not.
May God bless every basset, who comes into a shelter anywhere, with a compassionate, dedicated, loyal, permanent family!

BASSIE
Bassie is a very active little girl, who loves people, dogs and life in general. She's healthy, and her vet check revealed she's heartworm negative! Bassie is being fostered in the Libby/Troy, MT area. For more information, please contact: , or call Chris at (406) 283-1950.
DROOPY (II)
Droopy has recently been successfully treated for heartworms. He gets along great with other dogs; he just won't fight, and if another dog becomes angry with him, Droopy will cower. He's got a healthy appetite, but doesn't attempt to steal other dogs' food. He's also fine around cats. Besides heartworms, Droopy had tapeworms. the vet has treated him successfully, and we are continuing the treatment. That's why he's skinny, as you can see by his pics. Not to worry -- we'll fatten him up! Droopy is being fostered in the Libby/Troy, MT area. For more information, please contact: , or call Chris at (406) 283-1950.
HOGAN
Hogan's a healthy guy -- all he needed was tested for worms, and a bath! A real sweet boy, he's totally "laid back". Hogan was probably from an abusive home -- he's so submissive, he thinks he's in trouble every time we call his name. He refuses to eat with the other dogs, so we put him in a room by himself, and even so, sometimes we still have to hand feed him a few bites to get him to eat. It seems like Hogan had never tasted canned food before! He gets along great with all of the dogs and is really good with cats. At this point, March of 2010, Hogan weighs 46 lbs. and is approximately four-years-old. Hogan is being fostered in the Libby/Troy, MT area. For more information, please contact: , or call Chris at (406) 283-1950.
SHORTCAKE
Shortcake was given a clean bill of health, and tested negative for heartworms. She's a real sweetheart, getting along great with all of the dogs. She's also fine around cats. Shortcake enjoys life: she loves to be petted; going for rides -- she's very well behaved; going for walks, where she behaves well on her leash; napping on recliners and sleeping on her dog bed. She also has a healthy appetite, and has no trouble telling other dogs to stay the heck away from her bowl! She's just standing on her rights -- she has no aggression issues. Shortcake is approximately six-years-old and weighs about 41lbs. Shortcake is being fostered in the Libby/Troy, MT area. For more information, please contact: , or call Chris at (406) 283-1950.
Sydney
ADOPTED!
Sydney is a gorgeous, spayed, adult brown and white basset, who needs to be relinquished due to her person's negative experience of the current economic climate. Mr. Nate Millard says, "Sydney's become accustomed to a nice yard, frequent walks and just having a person around. Even though I don't want to give her up, I know she'd be much happier with people who can be there for her." Mr. Millard adds, "Sydney warms up to new people almost instantly. She's not a loud dog, other than some whining with excitement when she knows food is coming. Being a basset, she can be a little stubborn, and training her to do typical dog 'tricks' never amounted to much. She is housebroken, and I did teach her to ring a bell on the doorknob when she needs to go out." Also, Sydney is UTD on her vaccinations and is in overall excellent health. Mr. Millard has offered to assist with transport to a new home.
