Barney doesn’t ask for much. ❤️

A soft place to nap. Someone to follow around the house. A few snacks “accidentally” dropped in the kitchen. And a person who understands that life is better when you slow down a little.

He’s the kind of dog who leans against your leg like he’s known you forever. The kind who sighs happily when he finally settles beside you on the couch. The kind who makes a house feel warm again.

His world changed when his owner could no longer keep him, and even though he doesn’t fully understand it, he’s still choosing trust. Still wagging his tail. Still hoping someone comes for him.

A few things about Barney:
🐾 Expert-level sniffer — every walk becomes an investigation
🐾 Professional couch companion
🐾 Will absolutely hear a cheese wrapper from another room
🐾 Needs a secure yard and someone patient with those classic Basset ears

He’s not looking for perfect. Just permanent.

If you think Barney could fit into your life, message me your location and any experience with the breed. There is a rehoming fee to ensure he goes to a committed home.

Please share and help us find this sweet boy the family he deserves. 🙏

Honestly, I don't know why no one has scooped up Barney yet. 🥺

His owner had to give him up. It wasn't his choice. He doesn't understand why he's not there anymore. But somehow, he's still so gentle. Just wants someone to be loyal to.

He follows you to the kitchen. Curls up next to you on the sofa. You will never feel alone with this dog.

Walks are slow. Like, really slow. He has to sniff everything. Honestly? It's kind of nice. Forces you to just breathe.

What he actually needs:

· A secure yard (because once that nose locks on, he's gone)
· Someone who doesn't mind a slow pace
· Ear cleaning patience and no overfeeding
· And yeah, you'll be paying the cookie tax every time the fridge opens 😆

Message me your location and experience with the breed. There's a rehoming fee, just to make sure he goes to someone serious.

If you've got a Basset-shaped hole in your life… Barney's waiting.

Let's get this boy home. 🙏

Frankie is still on the hunt for his perfect landing spot! 🐾 He is officially a local celebrity, but we are taking our time to find the "just right" family for him.
Frankie is the definition of "chill." Even when a tiny, bold feline friend has a lot to say, Frankie just stays his sweet, soulful self. He’s a patient gentleman who is much more interested in his next nap than starting any drama 😆 .
He just wants a consistent person to nap with and a couch to call his own.
Frankie is currently waiting for a family that understands the stubborn, lovable nature of the Basset breed. Since he’s such a catch, our process includes a detailed questionnaire to make sure his next home is truly his forever home.

We have a special boy looking for his landing spot. This is Frankie. He’s 4 years old, full of personality and currently looking for a new couch to claim.
Frankie is coming to us because his owner’s job now requires constant travel. It’s a heartbreaking situation, but his owner knows Frankie deserves more than a life spent in boarding or with a pet sitter. He needs a consistent person.

The Lowdown on Frankie
Frankie is a classic Basset. He’s got the soulful eyes, the velvet ears, and a voice that he isn't afraid to use.
Frankie is a volunteer first responder. When an ambulance passes with its sirens on, Frankie joins in with a full chested howl. It’s his favorite hobby.
He has a bad habit of finding "sidewalk snacks." You’ll need to be his eyes on walks, because he thinks leftover pizza in the grass is a gift from the universe.
He lives for cheese, cookies, and a nice topper of canned food. He will be your best friend the moment you open the fridge.

What We’re Looking For
Basset Hounds aren't "budget" dogs. Between the ear cleaning, the weight management, and the potential for joint issues, they require a family that is financially prepared.
We are seeking an adopter who:
1. Understands the stubborn, lovable nature of the breed.
2. Can keep him on a leash (or in a fenced yard) so he doesn't sniff his way into trouble.
3. Is okay with a bit of "hound music" when the sirens go off.

Rehoming Details
There is a rehoming fee for Frankie. This ensures he goes to a committed home and helps us continue our mission of helping hounds just like him.
If you have a Basset-sized hole in your heart and a sturdy vacuum for the shedding, Frankie might be your guy. He just wants a home where he can nap at your feet and be part of the family.
Send us a message with a little bit about your lifestyle and your experience with hounds. Let’s find this boy the forever home he deserves.

UPDATE: ADOPTED

Earl is looking for his forever home. He is 4 years old and has been with us in foster care for three months now. He originally came to us because his previous owners moved and simply couldn't take him along. It broke his heart at first but he is a resilient soul.
He is healthy and up to date on all his shots. We have seen no signs of illness or long term health issues during his stay. He just needs a family that will stick by him this time.
You will fall in love with his personality immediately. He spends most of his day finding the sunniest spot on the carpet for a nap. He loves being near people and will lean against your legs just to stay close.

There is a rehoming fee to make sure he goes to a committed home. This also helps us continue our work with other rescues.
DM me your location and email address if you want to fill out our questionnaire. Earl is ready to meet you.

Indy: Found Her Forever Couch!🐾
We are over the moon to announce that Indy has officially found her forever home! This one of a kind girl with the freckled paws is now the professional sofa dweller she was born to be.
She’s settled into a wonderful, patient environment where her slow paced lifestyle and "hound breath" are truly appreciated 😆 . She finally has the attention she deserves. Thank you to everyone who shared her journey!
