Meet the New ABC New York Basset Hounds


Bob Richardson has arrived safely in TN and took this great video of his 8 new passengers Meet ABC's new Additions.  Thanks Bob for sending us this great introduction.

Daisy & Lucky, the senior Basset Hound and Dachshund, bonded pair.  They are being adopted by Shelly's Mom & Dad! 

Billy Bob and Buford, Artis, Scarlet, Snickers and Lola are also in the group.  We will post their photos here as soon as they arrive, along with Daisy and Lucky's sad story and wonderful rescued adoption tale.

Shelly let us know that Bob called her from the road 'somewhere in Kentucky.'  He said this car raced up next to the van, beeping their horn and waving. Bob looked over and the guy was wearing an ABC Basset Rescue T-shirt!!!  How awesome is that!  ABC's fame has spread nationwide!

Great job ABC on rescuing these beautiful hounds.  We wish safe travels and a pleasant journey to the remainder of the transport and can't wait to meet these guys in NY.

March Southern Basset Rescue Adventure

Bob Richardson arrival in NY on New Year's Day after driving through the night (and in bad weather) with 5 TX puppy mill hounds and 1 Basset from OH. 
Bob Richardson is headed back to Tennessee to rescue seven basset hounds and one dachshund to help them find their forever homes!   These hounds are being brought in from Belly Rubs Basset Rescue and Bassets and Buddies Rescue, whose foster homes are all full in the South.  They are due to arrive in NY on Saturday.  Check out the ABC website to view Basset Hounds available for adoption Available Basset Hounds.   Pictures and descriptions of the Basset Hounds being transported from the South are available on FaceBook Southern Bassets Rescued.  We will post their pictures here as well.  If you have room on your couch and in your heart for a beautiful hound check them out and fill out an adoption application at ABC Adoption Application.

Special thanks to Bob and ABC for the wonderful work you are doing for homeless hounds, who are so deserving of a loving home.  We wish you safe travels and a successful journey!

A donation to All Bassets Cherished through Bob Richardson's Firstgiving Page is a super way to thank him for the all of the driving he is doing to bring these homeless guys to new forever homes!  On New Year's Eve, Bob and his fellow ABC volunteers, drove to Nashville, TN to pick up five scared and mistreated Basset Hounds from a puppy mill in Texas.  They drove through the night to get them to the foster homes that ABC had for them.  Bob says it was "Truly one of the best days I've ever had!!"

Please help us to continue to save these great hounds!   Whatever you can give truly goes a long way.  You can also make a donation on ABC's website ABC Donations Page.  Thank you so much for whatever you can give!
