Finding a home for Lilly

Lilly came into rescue after her owner’s life was turned upside down. She is a sweet basset girl of 9 years but she acts more like a 4 year old. She is house trained and has learned how to eat dog food after surviving on people food for a few years. She is very inquisitive and loves to ride in the car. She walks well on a leash. Lilly prefers women or very laid back men but is best suited for a family with no other dogs or small children. She will make some family very happy because she has years of love left to share

Sampson is adopted!

Sampson is officially adopted! Congratulations to Sampson on finding your furever family! Here is an update from his adoptive mom on how he is doing.

“Sampson is definitely one of the family.  Mom has taught him tricks to catch his treat in mid-air and he MUST say good morning to her immediately after she gets up.  We leave him in the house when we are away and he does well.  He got mad at us yesterday and decided he could get on the living room couch.  When we got home he couldn’t get off by himself.  He is allowed on the couch in the den!! (which is lower and he can navigate by himself).

Sleeps on a dog pillow (for the summer) at the foot of my bed and I have kept him to his schedule for feeding – which really works out nice.  For winter I want a more substantial bed he can curl up in.  What a wimp, goes to bed about 8:30 and gets up only to say goodnight (to Mom) and maybe at 4 am to go outside.

…know that we just love this guy …”

St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2013

BaRCSE participated in the Columbia, SC’s St. Patrick’s Day parade again this year. This is an annual event for us, and everyone always love to see our bassets. Our bassets always love to meet more people who obviously want to pet them. Here are some photos of the event from D Thompson. Thanks for sharing D!

Columbia St. Patrick’s Day Parade

BaRCSE will be walking in the Columbia, SC St. Patrick’s Day parade in Five Points. The parade is one week away, and we are getting excited. We are number 8 on the parade line-up. We will meet at Shandon United Methodist Church at 8 am on the 16th. The address for the church is 3407 Devine St  Columbia, SC 29205. We meet in the parking lot on the other side of the street (next to the Exxon station). Dottie and Don Morris have the decorations for the trailer, and the Bush’s, Clancy’s new family, are going to have either a 16 or 18 foot trailer to pull for the pooped pups (and adults). If you are in the area, please join us!
