LOLA
A Beautiful Girl - A Beautiful Success Story
by Helen Seldon, President BassetcC.A.R.E., Inc.
Meet Lola – a beautiful young female basset. She is sweet and
loving – in fact, she loves everyone and everyone who meets her loves
her. When you hug or pet her, it feels as if you’re touching velvet. Her
eyes are full of joy and love.
She came to us and we wondered how her family could possibly let her
go. I fostered her temporarily and I hated to let her go. So I found the
perfect solution!
It was a few hours after Lola came to my house that my
grandchildren came to visit. They fell in love with Lola and she with
them. Their family had just suffered the loss of their beloved “Charlie”,
who died from a heart attack. He was only 5 yrs. old and the family
was devastated. Charlie was a big boy – a golden mix and as sweet
and loving as any dog I’ve ever known. He was well-loved and the
loss was traumatic.
When Lola came along, it was obvious that fate had sent her to
love that family
and heal their hearts….. and that is exactly what she has done. Reba, a
black
lab/basset mix was lonely after Charlie died, but she perked up when
Lola arrived. Now Lola and Reba are new best friends.
Lola is in her forever home. Now isn’t this a heartwarming

BassetC.A.R.E. success story?
Hello, everyone! I’m still young, but I’ve had a pretty tumultuous
life. My first family couldn’t keep me, so they gave me to another
family—I was “free to a good home.” Unfortunately, that didn’t work
out, either, as my new family could not afford to keep me. They let
me run loose and when I was found by a sweet woman at the
Humane Society, I was skinny, had hundreds of ticks and fleas
(yuck!), tapeworms, and ehrliciosis. A few (very hot) days later, two
people came to get me and bring me to a foster home. They had
me treated, fed me lots of good food, and scratched my belly all the
time! I got to play every day with my foster brother, Kody, and two
cats—Harmony and Bright Eyes. We had so much fun together.
And guess what? My foster parents loved me so much they
decided to adopt me a month later! Now I am in my forever home
warming their hearts and giving them snuggles and kisses every
day.
P.S. I still miss my former companion, Scarlet, but if she is ever
found, my new parents have offered to foster her, too (maybe they’
ll end up adopting her like they did me!)
