Happy Tails

I saw Robin’s picture on the TSBHR website and couldn’t wait to meet her at Septemberfest. We had just sent our foster dog off to her new home and I was hoping that Robin could be our next foster – if she didn’t get adopted at Septemberfest. At the end of the event, we learned that there would be an application coming in for Robin, so we decided to foster her short-term rather than have her go back to the kennel. No application ever came in and it didn’t take long for us to fall in love with this spunky senior hound. She is my cuddler and makes little squeaky sounds to talk to me. I can’t imagine life without her!

Betty came into our lives and all of us could not be happier! She loves every person she meets!

When Gretta came to us she was a big ball of anxiety. We could hardly get her to sit still. Now she’s outgoing and loves to lay around on the couch! She’s a perfect fit. We have had her for over three years now.

We adopted Angel (now named Fiona) about 4 months ago and she is an absolute delight. We just love her so much!! She loves to go hiking all day and then cuddle up on the couch all night. She protects the house at all times from squirrels and rabbits!! She is the perfect addition to our family. Diane and Chris Donnelly

Tinker is a wonderful and loving bassador I adopted Sept. 2013. I’d like to tell about tinker and the joy she has brought me. She is the light of my life even though I have another wonderful dog but there is just something about Tinker I adore. I have never adopted before, yet always had a dog from a breeder. I would always adopt again from Tri-State because of my “Tinks.” Catherine Sloan

We adopted Henry in December 2013 and rescuing him was honestly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. After Luciano our 17 year old beagle passed away we weren’t entirely sure that we wanted another dog since we were so heart broken over his death. However, we began to look into basset hounds and Henry immediately caught our attention. After adopting him, he was pretty shy and quiet.However, the longer we had him, the more he began to open up to us. He is really a friendly and loving dog. If you’re laying down on the couch, he’ll go up to snuggle with you. He even gives you kisses and purrs when you scratch his belly. Also, whenever we have family gatherings, he is the life of the party and lights up the whole room with his spunky personality. I can’t imagine a more loving dog. Thanks Tri-Basset for allowing us to adopt him! 🙂 -Ragone family ,

Millie is a wonderful addition to our home, this 8 year old is a true GEM and clearly well cared for prior to owner surrender. Thanks to Tristate for all the amazing work they do for the hounds! Angela and Phil

We adopted Benny B in April 2014. He has been a joy from the very beginning! He took a little while to warm up to our family, but now he has made himself right at home! He gets tons of attention from all of us. He has formed a special bond with his new “mommy” and can not help but get excited whenever he hears her voice. He also loves going for long walks in a big open park near our home. He runs and does what we call the “Benny Bounce.” He has been an absolute joy and we thank everyone at Tri State Bassett Hound Rescue who played a part in bringing Benny into our lives. We will be forever grateful for all of your efforts and for our Benny!

Just short of one year…Rosebud’s first Christmas…she is so settled and happy. 3 dogs, 4 cats, 10-yr and 13-yr old and all is good!!!! Houseful of rescue (except for our great kids!)

Rosie came to live with us four years ago. She is 9 years old now. She is the perfect addition to our family and we can not imagine life without her. She is so loving and can’t wait to get her belly scratched when she is not lounging in the sun. Thank you Tri State!
