FOUND BASSETS ALERT!

Two bassets were found today — Monday, August 3 — in the McNeill neighborhood in central Las Vegas, nearest major cross streets Rancho Rd. & Charleston Blvd. Please call (702) 232-8480 to identify if yours. Please spread the word, too, if you know anyone with bassets in the area.

CALLING FOR APPLICATIONS!

We are expecting several dogs to need our help in the coming weeks -- this is pretty typical at the start of the summer -- and we thought we'd see if we could identify potential foster or adoption homes in advance.

If you would like to be contacted about any incoming hounds, please text or email your interest to Kathleen at (702) 232-8480 or [email protected], and please include the following information, along with anything else you'd like us to know: (1) prior basset experience, if any; (2) prior LVBR adoption approval, if any; (3) specifics of any pets currently in the home; (4) any age or gender preferences; and (5) whether you own or rent, have a home, condo or apartment, and if you have a pool. Thank you!

Bailey is perfect, even if she's not a basset!

We're humbly asking all LVBR followers to help us spread the word that 5 yr old shepherd mix, Bailey, is still looking for her forever home.

After a month in foster care, we can report that Bailey would make the perfect addition to any family. Whether you are an active single or couple, have children, or a senior family member in the home, Bailey is sweet and loving and so eager to please. She will come to her new home fully house trained and with dog door experience, and she walks great on a leash, the longer the walk the better. And, as we shared in her original posting, Bailey is great with other dogs, cats, and even tortoises!

Please consider Bailey for yourself or for referral to family members and close friends. Interested adopters may contact Kathleen by text at (702) 232-8480 or by email at [email protected]. Please share this post so that we can reach as many people as possible.

Today we got spammed by a group that is selling T-shirts and other items. They are not affiliated with Las Vegas, Bassett Rescue, and we have since blocked a multitude of people who were posting these comments. We apologize for the annoyance, and just know they are not affiliated with us in anyway. Hopefully we got them all for now, but we will stay vigilant.

Sometimes our rescues aren't Bassets....

But LVBR helps anyway because the dog is that special!

This is Bailey, and she is a 5 yr old spayed female shepherd mix whose owner died and then her remaining family member was evicted. She has gotten an A+ rating from her foster mom since joining us, who says Bailey knows commands, including shake, walks on a leash without pulling, only barks when appropriate and quickly quiets when asked, and has not had any accidents while being trained to use the dog door. The family member was devastated to give her up, describing Bailey as "THE best dog in the world," but her housing situation was dire. Bailey is great with other dogs, cats, and even the tortoise at her foster home!

If you have an extra couch spot for Bailey, please contact Kathleen by text at (702) 232-8480 or email at [email protected]. We normally get help from the NSPCA for non-bassets we hear about, but we think Bailey can and should stay in the LVBR family!
