GABR - Guardian Angel Basset Rescue

06/04/2026

Being a best friend looks different for everyone. ❤️🐾

Maybe it's opening your home to a foster dog in need. Maybe it's driving a transport route to get a basset to safety. Or maybe it's becoming a monthly donor so rescue dogs always have food, medical care, and support they can count on. Even liking and sharing this post makes a difference.

Every role matters because rescue takes a community.

As we get ready for National Best Friends Day, there are bassets waiting for someone to say:
🐾 Yes to fostering
🐾 Yes to transporting
🐾 Yes to becoming their BFF

How will you help change a basset's life?

🐾 Want to help Guardian Angel Basset Rescue in less than a minute?

If you aren't able to foster, volunteer, or donate, you can still make a difference. One of the easiest ways to support our rescue is by helping us grow our reach on social media.

Every follow, like, comment, and share tells the social media algorithms that our content matters. That means more people see our adoptable bassets, foster needs, fundraising events, and rescue updates.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and X!

Together, we can help more bassets find the loving homes they deserve. ❤️🐾

🐾 Meet Tina! 🐾

Tina is a beautiful 5-year-old sable (red) and white Basset Hound with soulful tawny eyes, adorable freckles, and long floppy ears. This sweet girl is fully vetted, healthy, and ready for her forever home! ❤️

Tina came to GABR from a low-cost veterinary clinic after having a mammary tumor removed. She recovered wonderfully, but sadly was left behind after her procedure. The clinic kindly spayed her before transferring her to GABR, which helps prevent future mammary issues.

✨ Tina’s Highlights:
• Fully housebroken
• Loves cuddles, pets, and attention
• Sleeps quietly through the night
• Walks well on a leash
• Great with other dogs with proper boundaries
• Plush toys survive her playtime!
• Foodie personality with classic Basset “follow my nose” energy

🏡 Tina’s Ideal Home:
• Older children only due to food curiosity
• Someone home more often — she has mild separation anxiety
• An owner who can provide structure and consistency

Tina is affectionate, smart, and full of personality. She would love nothing more than relaxing beside her people after a good walk and some tasty treats.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving Basset with lots of charm, Tina may be your perfect match! 🐶 To apply to adopt, visit https://bassetrescue.org/adopt-proc

❤️ATTICUS HIT THE JACKPOT❤️

We had another great adoption! Atticus, formerly Glen, was an owner surrender and we found a great home for him. Thank you to Vince and Carmen for opening their home to this sweet boy. He looks pretty happy!!!

A big thank you to Cheri for fostering Atticus. He had a few issues when he came in but she nursed him back to health.

Atticus, keep in touch. We can’t wait to hear about your new home!! ❤️🐶❤️
