Happy Tails

We LOVE hearing Happy Tails of successful adoptions! If you’d like to tell your story, please complete the Happy Tails form.
Honey

Honey goes nuts digging on the couch before she lays down – at least a minute every time! If you stop her, she just does it again and again. It’s annoying, but very funny! She is just SO lovable. Everyone gets so excited when they see her – she is so cute and everyone wants to pet her. We are so happy to have her in our home. She is the best! Thanks for giving us this opportunity.

Izzy

In march of 2012 I adopted “IZZY.” I had lost Brinks (my mastiff) got diagnosed with osteoarthritis in multiple joints and “NEEDED” a dog . My beloved companion Dennis saw that I was obsessed with a basset hound, something I could handle. It would be a long story if I mentioned the rest of the story. She had issues with kids and was a product of divorce. At the end of the day, she has a forever home and also has our hearts. I am a Christian and proud to say TSBHR helped my heart, and my health. She even prays with me! God bless all from your organization – she’s doing great! (And is VERY spoiled)

Droopy

We are happy to have a new family member we named Fred. Things we didn’t know about Fred is he chases rabbits, the couch is his and he has made a spot on the bed his own. Could we spoil him any more? Here are a few pictures of Fred an Lloyd spending time together. Fred is a bit spoiled riding in the trailer. Thank you Tri-state and all the volunteers who help with the rescue. Without the work you do we wouldn’t have this happy addition to our family.

Jack

Jack is such a handsome little guy! His nose never stops sniffing and his tail never stops wagging. He loves to snuggle with his Mommy and melt her heart with a head full of wrinkles. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in my eyes he is perfect!

Lilly

Lilly came to our home as a foster and is now a permanent member of the household.Lilly was fearful of everything and everyone for what seemed like a very long time. With patience and love she has slowly learned to trust . It is so great to see her run and play ,tail wagging with all her brothers and sisters. What a joy to have her run to me in the yard and sit with me on the couch, and even has an attitude at times with her aarrrooo. Thank you Tri -State for giving Lilly and so many other dogs a second chance at life.

Bessie

We adopted Bessie on St. Patrick’s day of 2013. She was a skinny and timid little girl. Well let me tell you she has filled out (but no too much) and chock full of piss and vinegar. She can jump higher than any basset should. She sings opera with my mother and loves deer hunting (but she is not real good at it) so far it’s deer-100, Bessie-0. We love our Bessie Boopster thank you for a great match.

Hank & Tank

Sherman and Tank love to go for walks and have made many friends in their neighborhood including human friends. Long naps after their walks are probably their favorite thing to do. They are always happy to run around the back yard and chase each other. Happy Bassets for sure.

Chuck

Rusty (formerly Chuck) bonded with our family on the day we adopted him. Even Sue noticed that he really liked us, especially my son, Josh and loves my daughter Marissa. Rusty is a real love, and looks for all his friends. He was well accepted into our pack, of a Max, Cookie, and Bear. (Beagle Mix, Beagle and Cocker Spaniel). Rusty loves people and extremely friendly. He is very curious and goofy. He is a great addition to our family.

Rocky

There was something about Rocky’s adoption posting that drew my husband in straight away. When we went to pick Rocky up at Septemberfest nearly two years ago, my daughter and Rocky gravitated towards each other, even before we knew it was him! Rocky has enriched our lives and provided so much love – it truly is his forever home!

Daffy

Daisy (formerly Daffy) is the sweetest dog – we have given her a “new chance” at life. She is now in a loving home and she is best buddies with my other basset hound, Deuce. Steve, Lisa and Kathy were instrumental in making this happen for me and my family. We love Daisy with all of our heart!
