exactly who my daddy was, but my foster mom says she can see dachshund traits in me. I’m lean, long and can run very fast and jump high too - I'm a puppy. I have a special story to tell. I was found wandering alone in January, scared and very hungry. I was saved by the nice folks at animal control. The shelter vet found me emaciated and my little collar was so tight it was choking me. I went to a special shelter foster home for 2 months where I had plenty of food ,vet care and tried to be not so afraid. When I was 3 and ½ months old, the friends of the shelter group decided I would need a special home and contacted CBHR for help finding me just the right home. My foster mom says I need a home with another dog who will continue to teach me, be my companion, and sometimes my courage. You see new people and places still can make me a tad nervous. I'm learning to be a proper member of a loving family. A home with young children or a lot of activity would not be a good home for me. I’m progressing nicely with my potty training. I have good days when I go outside all the time and other days when I forget - I'm still learning. Every day I learn new things. We go on short leash walks out into the big world so I can get more comfortable being out and about and around people. I run and play a lot with my foster sister and toys , then I like to take naps in a nice, comfortable lap. Foster sister is teaching me things I missed from my real mom. I’m proud to say most nights I sleep through the night in my own bed. If you have a securely fenced backyard, I could run zoomies and play with you. I try to do that now but my leash isn’t long enough. I’m young and a work in progress but with patience and effort I will be a great family member very soon. I’m eager to learn and once I settle in with you, I'll love you and trust you forever. I love attention and being with you. If you think you might be the right forever home for me, fill out the adoption application on www.cbhr.com and ask for me - Drake. In the meanwhile, enjoy some photos of me, taken when I decided to be still. I look forward to hearing from you. 04/18/17 To apply online or to see other available basset hounds, go to www.cbhr.com.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
