Roscoe
Princess
Princess came to BassetCARE as an ORD, through collaboration with Henrico Humane.
Princess, and her doxie companion Willie, had to be relinquished by their owners as they
were being evicted from their home.
Princess is approximately 8 years old and is spayed. She is tri-colored and weighs about 50
pounds. She is a very sweet gentle dog – a little skittish of men, but very attached to her
female foster mom. She has a healthy appetite, does well taking her medications and is
working on perfecting her housetraining skills. She also interacts very well with her foster
canine siblings.
When she came to Henrico Humane/BassetCARE, her nails were so overgrown that they had
grown into her pads. She has since been updated on all of her shots and had surgery to
correct the nail problem.
Adoption fee: $150.00

Flash & Lucy
Roscoe is a 6-year old tricolored neutered male basset weighing approximately 60 pounds. He
was owner-relinquished in Southwest Virginia, from his owners who had relocated from Florida,
and is heart worm-negative.
He is a nice boy that obviously loves a good meal (a little wide at the waist). He seems a little
insecure at times. While he loves to get up on the furniture for nighttime sleeping, he also likes
naps on the cool floor. While he’s not particularly fond of having the leash put on him, he is fine
once you have done so. He’s a bit verbal (barking) while riding in the car, but he rides well and is
fine when you get him to his destination.
He’s a clever boy and very quickly found the “hidden treats” his current foster had at his desk.
Roscoe would love nothing more than to find a home where he can feel secure and loved. Are
you the right adopter for Roscoe???
Adoption fee: $250.00

Flash and Lucy are owner-relinquished bassets who have been together most of their lives. Flash
is a 3-year-old tri-colored neutered basset and Lucy is a 4-year-old red and white spayed female.
They are a very cute couple. They are very friendly and get along well with other dogs. They love
attention. They are both up-to-date on all of their shots and, while they were very thin when they
were relinquished, they have started to put on some weight.
Lucy is very quiet; Flash is a little more vocal, but only when he wants attention. They both are
very good about riding in cars.
BassetCARE desires, if at all possible, to keep Flash and Lucy together, since they have been
together since before they were relinquished.
Flash and Lucy are currently being kenneled, due to a lack of foster homes, so it would be
preferable to get them into either a foster home, or even better, a “forever home” as soon as
possible.
If you are willing to adopt both Flash and Lucy together, the adoption fee will be $350.00
If adopted separately, the adoption fee for each will be $250.00/per basset

Special Needs Dog
Petey came to BassetCARE by way of the Prince George County (VA) Animal Control. This poor
little guy was horribly underweight and covered in ticks. He also had several “healed, hairless sores”
(later determined to be scars from cigarette burns) and was absolutely terrified! Upon having him
“vetted”, it was also discovered that this terribly thin little guy was also heartworm-positive. Because
he was so thin and had been so abused, he was in no condition to start the strenuous and stressful
treatment for heartworm.
Luckily, Petey found love in a wonderful foster home (with lots of canine brothers and sisters) where
he has been able to come out of his shell, learn to trust people again and discover what it’s like to
be loved and not abused. He has also been able to put on some much-needed weight.
Petey is ready to go to his forever home, which will need to be a quiet environment where he can be
started on heartworm treatment. Are you the right “forever home” for this special little guy???

Tracey & Sue
Scottie
Tracy and Sue came to BassetCARE as owner-relinquished bassets. They are two sweet young
adult bassets who came into their most recent home as “free to a good home” (‘nuff said!).
Apparently the most recent owner was more of a “hoarder” than an owner and these sweet girls
were left outside, neglected and were headed for being dumped at the local “kill” shelter (which is in
a rural county that does not hesitate to kill if the animals are “owner-relinquished”).
From what BassetCARE knows of the history of these two gals, they have been together since
puppyhood - so it would be desirable, if at all possible, to have these two adopted together.
If you are willing to adopt Tracy and Sue together, the adoption fee will be $350.00
If adopted separately, the adoption fee for each will be $250.00/per basset.

Scottie came to BassetCARE by way of the Amelia County Animal Control, where he had been
turned in as a stray and was at the end of his “grace” period.
This poor little guy was so severely underweight (only 29.8 pounds) that his body muscles were
starting to deteriorate as his body “searched” for nutrition. He was so terrified that he walked in a
submissive crouch, almost as if he was suffering from orthopaedic issues. For having been found
as a stray, amazingly, he had no worms or tick-borne diseases.
As he became more comfortable, his sweet personality started to emerge. While he is still skittish,
he’s a lover and a bit of a ham.
He has also since been neutered and it is anticipated that this will calm him down and make him a
great companion for the right forever home.
Due to a lack of foster homes, Scottie is currently being kenneled. This sweet little two-year-old
guy would just like a home where he can be loved, not fear being abused and put on some weight
so he can live out his days like the pampered basset he deserves to be. Are you the right home
for Scottie?
