Southern Hounds Arrive in NY!

Buford and Snickers, happy to be home!

Bob Richardson and the seven Southern Bassets and one Dachshund, Lucky, arrived at Camp Bow Wow, Tonawanda safely yesterday after their long journey from TN.  What a beautiful bunch of dogs!  Thanks so much to ABC, Belly Rubs Rescue, Basset Buddies Rescue and every one that worked so hard to get these sweet dogs to forever homes.  A big thanks to our boardmember and intake coordinator, Sommer Slavin! She again coordinated this transport and intake of seven absolutely amazing basset hounds (and a doxie)!  Four dogs are already in their forever homes, not even 24 hours after being in NY!  Thank you, Sommer!!

Daisy, the nine year old Basset and her best friend Lucky, a twelve year old Dachshund were adopted by the Nowicki's, Shelly's folks.  They travelled all the way from West Palm Beach, FL.  See Pilots N Paws photo of Daisy and Lucky with their own private pilot on the blog yesterday.  What wonderful folks to give these loving seniors such a happy forever home, after the years of neglect they have suffered.  Looks like it was love at first sight.

Lucky and Daisy already claimed their spots in their new happy home!

Lola and Billy Bob were also adopted and are already in their new homes.  So that leaves Buford, Artis, Scarlett and Snickers still up for adoption.  Better hurry and get your adoption application in.  They are likely to be adopted by the time I hit 'Publish'!  What an amazing job by all the rescues and individuals involved in saving this amazing group of hounds.  We'll post individual pictures and stories as we get them.  ABC posted this great picture album of the hounds upon their arrival at Camp Bow Wow, Tonawanda, who again gave the dogs overnight accomodations and helped with the adoptions this morning.  View the pictures of the Bassets at The End of a Very Long Trip Home.

Having fun after that long trip!
