Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound. Adoption Fee: $550. Sharon (aka Abby) is now available for adoption! You may recall that Abby is the GGBR puppy who was susptected to have swimmer syndrome because she was unable to walk. She moved around at a fast speed by using her hind legs in a swimming motion. She also had no control of her bladder. It was determined that she was not a swimmer dog but rather was born with a spinal defect. She is still unable to walk and cannot control her urination. She continues to be a very happy lively puppy who is receiving the best of care in her foster home. Little Miss Abby now has a wheelchair for her walks outside. Her PT has also recommended a treadmill that also can be used to try to get Abby to walk. Between the PT and acupuncture, everything possible is being done to assist Abby toward walking, but so far, Abby is still unable to use her hind legs. She is one stubborn little girl (typical basset ?!).

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.
