WTBR Adopted Dogs

TVBR Adopted Dogs
Because we were formerly the West Tennessee Branch of TVBR and hosted the TVBR web site, we moved the TVBR Adopted Bassets to this site.
East Tennessee				Middle Tennessee
If you previously adopted a basset from TVBR or WTBR and want to add a photo of your hound or some special words about your hound, please . He is especially friendly to persons who adopt rescues. And if I have something wrong, just tell me. I will fix it.

Lucky, now called Jake, went to the Rainbow Bridge in Aug, 2001

Maximillion was adopted by Angela Hodges on 12/23/2000.

Rocky was adopted by Tammy and Greg Miller on 10/19/2000.
Rocky is a basset with wondrous devotion and heart.  He developed glaucoma and lost eyesight in his right eye shortly after coming to us.  A few months later he lost eyesight in his left eye.  Even when Rocky was in great pain due to the glaucoma and required surgeries, he remained loving and affectionate.  Even though he is blind Rocky gets around very well.  Because of Tammy's devotion to Rocky and his to Tammy, Rocky has a loving home and life is good.

Here is Rocky's new home and some of the family. Bassets left to right are, Jake, Rocky, and Redbud. And of course their basset slave, Tammy.
Redbud crossed the Rainbow Bridge Dec. 9, 2004.

Chloe was adopted by Leslie Peach on 7/27/2000.
Leslie says, Chloe hides food all over the house and actually goes through the motions of moving dirt (that doesn't exist) on it and everything.  She also likes to grab new rolls of toilet paper and run in circles as fast as she can.  She is one of the best decisions that I have ever made.  She tried to sit on my shoes while I was putting them on this morning so I wouldn't leave. She just kills me.  She has even learned my "getting ready" routine in the mornings and she knows when I get my shoes or walk to the night stand for my watch that I am about through so she gets up to go out.
