Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound (short coat). Adoption Fee: $200.00. Update coming soon. BRAT has been trying so hard to get Payton well after a diagnosis of histoplasmosis, a fungal infection of her colon. The specialist thinks she got this disease by eating contaminated soil as food when she was running the streets as a stray. BRAT spent close to $4,000 trying to figure out what was wrong. Then from Sept 1st to Nov 30, we've spent another $8,150 on the specialist who diagnosed her correctly. So we desperately need your help in continuing her treatment through February. She is costing us around $450 per week or $1800 per month. It was more in Sept and Oct due to testing. But starting in Nov it has been around $1800 per month. Some weeks may be more due to meds. How can you help? There are 3 ways to donate: 1. PayPal or credit card to infobratx. Put Payton in the Note section. 2. Call the vet directly. Tell them it's for Payton with BRAT. The name of the hospital is Veterinary Specialists of North Texas. Their number is 972-437-9499. 3. Mail a check to: BRAT PO Box 116225 Carrollton TX 75011 Put Payton in the memo section. Thank you so much for helping Payton! We will give you updated reports as we continue her treatments. She has good days, then days where she's too tired to walk so she gets to ride in her buggy like a queen in her carriage!

Overview:
The Basset Hound is a charming and distinctive breed, originating in France as a scent hound primarily used for hunting hare and rabbit. Easily recognized by their long, droopy ears, sad-looking eyes, and short, sturdy legs, they possess an incredibly powerful sense of smell. Despite their somewhat mournful expression, Bassets are known for their gentle, laid-back, and affectionate temperament, making them wonderful companions for families. They are generally good with children and other pets, though their stubborn streak and loud baying bark require consistent training. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient daily exercise, their tendency to follow their nose means a secure yard is essential. Potential owners should be aware of common health concerns such as ear infections due to their long ears, back issues, and bloat. Overall, the Basset Hound is a loyal and loving, if sometimes comically determined, addition to many homes.
