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.

Weiner, aka Smoche was adopted by Amber (Blaylock) Speck on 11/2/1999. Weiner passed away on Saturday, June 2, 2007.

My name is Amber Speck (Blaylock). I am just writing to inform you that I had to euthanize Wiener (Smoche) today. He had congestive heart failure and was not breathing well. It is a very sad day in our home as we all loved him dearly. I just wanted you to know. Thanks for letting me know & love him.

Amber Speck

Smoche was one a litter delivered by a rescue basset.  He was a typical rambunctious and energetic puppy and is now romping and playing with Amber's Jack Russel Terrier that is almost the same age as he is.

Sophie and Jackson the Great Dane

Sophie and Heidi

Sophie, AKA Sara, was picked up as a stray by the Memphis Animal Shelter.  She was adopted and spayed by the shelter before they checked her for heart worms.  She tested positive but we had already adopted her.  If the shelter had not been so over crowded and the regular vet on vacation, we would not have been able to save Sara.  The Memphis Animal Shelter does not normally allow heart worm positive dogs be adopted.

Droopy has a new home with Chet and Cathy Lay on 5/27/1999.
Droopy was rescued from terrible conditions by Terry Keough, one of our fosters.  She did a wonderful job getting him back to good health and saved a wonderful basset.

Samantha has a new home with Eddie and Karen Muchmore.

Samantha was found very pregnant on January 4th.  On January 8, 1999 she delivered 8 basset/lab puppies. Adopted on 3/18/1999, she is now a Princess in Training and is very loved by Karen, Eddie, Quella, & Kota in Loveland, CO.

Karen and Eddie were the Publicity and Fund Raising Coordinators for TVBR.  Thank you Karen and Eddie!

Samantha's Basset-Lab puppies have new loving homes.
Whelping and raising all of the puppies was challenging but extremely gratifying.   We miss them but know they all are loved.  Their is nothing quite like puppy breath or seeing a puppy bond with a young child.
