Our basset loving friends in Kentucky need some help. I can't think of a tougher place to do rescue than a part of the country where hounds are bred for hunting then more often than any of us would like, dumped on roads, in yards, in shelters or simply left in the woods when they are no longer useful. If you have an extra $5, please consider sending it to these folks, who work harder in a day to save dogs than I do in a month. The same goes for my dear friend Melinda in Ohio, also a land of thankless work and way too many homeless hounds.

Bluegrass Basset Rescue is in desperate need. I am getting ready to leave and we have no money for kenneling bills. We need foster homes in the Nashville (and all of Kentucky) area. We have to get these fosters in for the winter. If anyone can help in any way, please let me know!!! We are closing our doors for now as we have to get the present bassets adopted out.

We have outstanding bills in excess of $700 for kennelling and veterinary care. We had gotten in a stray hit by a car who would have died a very slow agonizing death otherwise as he'd gotten a hernia as a result of being hit and his intestines had slipped thru. His bill to fix that and neuter him, get him shots, etc... was $500. Any donations towards Buddy's bill would be terribly appreciated. Even just $5 would go a long way! Our address is:
