BellyRubs Basset Rescue

Hope

June 21, 2007 - Hope is now happy and fairly trusting. She does not play with toys as much as Grace but loves to run and play with Grace and the other hounds. Hope has buffed out and is becoming something of a tomboy. She sleeps on our bed with Grace and Dudley and greets Clara each morning with gentle kisses. We got a collar on her but walking on a leash is only possible with a very light lead. We are working on that. She still has some house training issues but she is usually pretty good about going out the dog door and outside to potty. Hope is spayed, heartworm free and current on all of her shots. If you think you have enough heart to give Hope a safe and understanding home please contact Clara Jackson.

Hope and Hope were found on the side of Interstate 40 in West Memphis, AR inside a dog crate. They were taken to West Memphis Animal Services. They were both terrified of being in the open and the kennel personnel could not get them out of the dog crate. When they were finally able to get them out, they both immediately ran to an igloo dog house and would not come out of it. The shelter personnel could not examine them or give them any shots. We got them both from the shelter on 9/18/2006. We found a piece of frayed rope tied around Hope's neck. We were finally able to get the rope off of Hope and put collars on them. It became immediately apparent that both of them were terrified of anything around their neck, leashes and being in the open. Whatever happened to these two girls it has left them very traumatized and fearful.

For more information, please contact Clara Jackson. Go to our Adoption Information page to begin the adoption process.

Hope is being fostered in the Byhalia, MS area
