Story
Jax is I believe 7 years old in human years. He has a chip but, he is not registered under my name nor do I know the name he is registered under. I got him from a friend of a friend back in 2015 who rescued him from an abuse owner. He does not have nipples, walks a little crooked, one ear doesn’t move much, also very sensitive. He is not house trained, I have tried multiple attempts but just doesn’t get the concept. He needs a loving home with people who can care for him. Jax needs a new home because I am moving out of state and cannot take him with me.

Story
Hey there! My name’s Buzz and I’m here with my best bud Woody! I am nine and Woody is 10, but we are young at heart and would love to meet you!  We came all the way from Texas to find our new home in California.  We’ve been together since 2012 and can’t imagine life any other way!   Woody here — Buzz wasn’t kidding and he really is my best buddy. We are both really sweet and always looking for cuddles; we can’t help it.  We could probably use a little help with our weight as we’re both big boys, but a little exercise in this California weather sounds great!  I also take a regular medication for allergies, so in addition to regular snuggles hopefully my forever family won’t mind helping me out with that.     We are happy, friendly cuddle-bugs and as senior hounds we have lots of practice being a wonderful part of a family.  We know we’d be a wonderful part of your family too, so we’d love to meet you!  Contact BHRSC ASAP and let’s set something up!   Buzz and Woody are both neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines.  They have also had lab work and veterinary dental cleanings.  Their adoption fee is $300.     ##573644##

Story
I am Sam, Sam I am!  Bonjour Basset Hound friends! My name is Sam and I am a male senior black and white Basset Hound.  I would love to meet you and become a part of your loving family.  I have lived my entire 10 years with one family but now must part ways with them.  I am sad, because I have known them since I was eight months old.  My family has “downsized” (my human siblings left for some place called college) and has a year and a half construction project going on at the house.  Between all the noise and losing my friends, they think it would be best for me to be in a calmer environment.      Due to the construction going on at chez moi, I developed some anxiety.  I do not like to be away from my humans for very long.  In a chaotic environment, this led me to chew on things and try to get away, necessitating anxiety medication.  However, I have been doing much better in a calmer environment where I can patrol the house freely to ensure everything is okay.  Overall, I am a relaxed and calm hound and pretty soon the only medication I will need will be for some allergies (a diligent skin care routine will help with this too).  I just want to be the center of someone’s universe, so I am looking for a home where I will be loved and not be left by myself very often.  I especially would like it if my bed can be close to yours, so I can feel secure and loved at bed time.  Upon meeting me you will know that I just have that certain je ne sais quoi.      C’mon - you know you would love a hound like me!  I have received basic training.  I will come to you when you call my name.  I get along with other dogs well and enjoy the company of children.  I am very good on a leash and love to go for walks (although when we see other dogs out and about, I am very eager to meet them!).  Maybe you and I can go on a walk together soon? Au petit bonheur la chance, you and I can embark on a wonderful hound dog and human journey together.  Call BHRSC today and let’s meet up!      Sam is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines.  He has also had lab work and a veterinary dental cleaning.  His adoption fee is $200. ##574780##
