My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NELLIE HAS AN ADOPTION PENDING. HOWEVER, WE HAVE OTHER BASSETS BECOMING AVAILABLE SOON. PLEASE SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ONE OF THE NEXT AVAILABLE DOGS.

Nellie is an approximately 6 year old female tricolor basset hound who spent much of her life with an owner who had many dogs. She settled easily into her foster home and gets along well with the other basset in the home. She loves the attention of her foster parents and is a 'snuggler.' Nellie has a sweet disposition and may do well in a home with older children. She is playful for her age and very cooperative with being bathed and having her ears cleaned. She is housetrained and sleeps at night on the couch, or in a dog bed. She would happily sleep on the bed with her humans, but, for reasons of safety, her foster family prefers that Nellie not jump up and down off the bed.

Nellie does like to show her excitement and affection by jumping on people, and she is long and strong, which might make her not particularly suited to a home with small children, or the elderly. Older children, or adults who are steady on their feet would be better matches for her. She is an accomplished counter surfer, too. So far, Nellie does not seem to bark very much.

Nellie's home should have a secure yard, or fenced patio. She is playful and enjoys the companionship of another dog, but could also be happy as a spoiled only dog with an owner who is home a lot.

Health-wise, Nellie has recently been spayed and had her teeth cleaned with a few extractions. She has 'cherry eye' in her right eye, but it doesn't seem to bother her, so removing the cherry eye was not a high priority procedure. It's something that may be considered at a later date.

Nellie is a sweet dog, who would fit into almost any home.

All this helps to ensure that the right basset hound is chosen for you, to match your lifestyle and circumstances, as you will become a "forever" home!

We do not have a specific kennel or shelter location to take our dogs to. We are so widespread that we just go from foster home to forever home.

More about this rescue

Golden Gate Basset Rescue rescues Basset Hounds from abusive, abandoned and unwanted situations across the whole of Northern California. We were formed in 2005 after operating for nearly ten years under the Northern California Basset Hound Club.

Today, Golden Gate Basset Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization. We exist solely on donations.

Golden Gate Basset Rescue takes orphaned bassets into foster care, usually in volunteer homes, where they are loved and cared for until permanent, forever homes are found. We provide veterinary care, which includes > necessary vaccinations, spaying and neutering, heartworm, flea and tick prevention.

Our wonderful volunteers spend time with the dogs to evaluate them, deal with any behavioral issues, and restore them to full health with good food and love.
