Updated 2/01/2009

Dolly is 4 years old and was rescued by OBR 2 years ago and was very much "with children" who were born only 4 days later on St. Patrick's Day.  They all had the luck of the Irish to be saved just in time of being euthanized and cared for and loved until they could be adopted to their forever homes.  Dolly is very much a wallflower, and not social,  who seems to enjoy the comforts of a home.  She came to us with a crippled leg and it was confirmed by x-rays that it was an old break that was very severe and never treated, and now too old of an injury to be repaired.  It healed improperly and is stiff, but Dolly still runs, goes up and down stairs and doesn't seem to suffer pain from it.  She doesn't like a lot of people, especially teenagers.  It is possibly that she had a bad experience with this age group and growls to defend herself.  She also doesn't think much of men.  After about a year, she thinks very highly of her foster dad and looks forward to him greeting her after work by saying "how is your day, Dolly Ann Madison."  If there are visitors, Dolly prefers to become invisible.  She is friendly with the other dogs in the foster home, and has always been very attached to her foster mom from the first day.  Dolly loves walks, and listens well.  If she were to be adopted, she would be comfortable in a home with woman, not alot of confusion, and a fenced yard.  She enjoys exploring in the fenced yard and even napping on the deck in the warm seasons.  Her vetting is current, and she is fostered in Stark County.

Ralphee

Roscoe aka Ralphee Roscoe aka Ralphee

Handsome, smart, active hound seeks loving family for moonlight or daylight walks, evening cuddling, frequent games of fetch and tug and possibly a friend or more If you want smart, curious and never ending loyalty and energy, look no further. Ralphee is your guy. Weighing in at just over 40lbs and the activity level of a young pup. Ralphee is crate trained and good in the house. Ralphee likes to be the center of attention when playing with the other dogs, but seems to settle in to the pack over time. He is taking obedience class and doing very well. Ralphee is curious and can get into trouble, so activities that help relieve his boredom are recommended. He can be vocal at times (what basset is not). He will need a strong owner to show him the rules and help mold his behavior. Are you up to it? .

Babbs

error-file:tidyout.log

Update 09/22/2008

Babbs is still waiting for her forever home. Her foster mom says she is the softest basset she has ever had. She has a ton of personality and is very loving. Her back issues are under control and she only gets a pain pill on occasion when she seems a little stiff. She would make a great companion for someone looking for a lower key basset but also would do fine in a home with several other dogs as she enjoys the company of her current foster brothers and sisters. She enjoys her daily walk and likes to be outdoors with you when the weather is nice. She listens remarkably well for a basset, comes when called, and is totally housebroken. She takes treats gently, is good for baths, and is an all around well behaved girl. She is only 6 and has many years of love to give the right person or family.

 error-file:tidyout.log

Updated 8-3-2009

Nash is an 8yo "Bagel"(Beagle/Basset) neutered male who has adjusted to life with a family after a stressful start with OBR. Nash was terrorized by a larger Alpha male in his first foster home, so he was removed and spent some time at the kennel. Placement was difficult for Nash: he was anxious and acted out in his second foster home. Finally Nash has settled down and has become a loving member of an all male Basset household. Nash is happiest with small dog groups. Larger groups of dogs(more than 4-5) bring out Nash's neediness and he will tangle with any other Alpha male. Nash needs a strong leader who can lovingly challenge his anxiety. Nash is patiently waiting for his forever home, for he knows it will be a place where his people are incredibly patient and loving. Time can heal alot of things for this boy but he has displayed a fear of water that is so sad. Nash does not like to get his feet wet and will resist going outside even AFTER a rain. Last week I was hosing down the deck -normally the boys all scatter. This time Nash did not get past me and he cowered in the corner, curled up with his back to me, crying. Even after I put the hose down, Nash continued to cry as he slithered up to me. It took some tender words and some ear scratching before Nash calmed down and was able to trot off to the back of the fenced yard.  He must have been sprayed with a hose often, perhaps to the point of tormenting. Perhaps he lived a long time in a kennel? No matter, Nash now loves playing with pull toys and toys with squeekers!!

Glenda Maribeth Walker

error-file:tidyout.log

 error-file:tidyout.log

Updated 12/1/2008

Glenda is a 4 year old tri-color sweetheart that will put a smile on anyone's face. She is friendly and fun  with everyone she meets, people and pets.  She might be 4 years old, but her energy level is comparable to a pup, and she plays for hours and hours at a time with the other dogs in the home that include 5 English Cocker Spaniels, and a Collie, who is her favorite wrestling buddy.  Glenda is the most energetic of all the dogs in the home.  She seems to want to get along with the cats, but they don't think much of any of the dogs and run off.  A fenced yard is a requirement for Glenda.  She runs after anything that moves, and has a lot of speed to go with that run!  She sometimes wants to back out of a collar, and her foster mom is working with her not to do that.  She is also getting used to a harness.  Counter surfing is one of Glenda's specialties, and she also likes to jump. Just about the time I think she has learned not to do those things, she tries it again.  She knows her foster mom is a push over, but with a little more work, she "might" learn to stop-but then again she is a basset!  I would recommend that Glenda be with older children only, simply because of her jumping and because she is so strong.  Glenda is crate trained, and house trained, but as with all the dogs she lives with, is a Velcro dog who loves being with me most of all. She is used to being me all day, except for errands, and I want that for her in her forever home.  Glenda never minds a ride in the car either.  She is being fostered in Stark County, OH.

Boss Jacquelyn Baker

Urgent
Boss Needs Your Help
Click here

When Boss first graced my doorstep, he did little more than sleep and eat. So, his moniker seemed a bit odd for such an easygoing fellow. However, he was still recovering from a hernia repair and vertigo. Now, a couple of months later, Boss is living up to his name. My nickname for him is Saucy Bossy, because when he doesn’t get his way he’ll start telling you exactly what he thinks.

Boss is approximately 10- 12 years young, but don’t let his age fool you…he’s a very lively and strong fellow. He’s a real sweetheart who thrives on lots of TLC and being very close to his people. He loves to eat, take long walks and be the only fellow to command your attention. Boss has very long ears, so he battles chronic ear infections. He gets an antibiotic solution in his ears three times a week, and is very tolerant of the process. He has a heart murmur and takes a pill daily for that, but since he loves to eat, it’s no problem getting him to take his pill. Since he’s such an active fellow, his weight hasn’t proven to be a problem…yet, but there’s little else that captivates Boss’s attention more than food…and long walks! Twice a week he also takes Predisone for joint pain and to try and keep his allergies at bay.

Boss would do best in a home where he’s the only dog, and where the owners are home most of the time. Boss was found as a stray, and he had a scar on his head that suggests a larger dog might have attacked him when he was out on his own. He’s very friendly and adores people, especially the people who walk and feed him. J He’s very curious about all other dogs and seems very friendly, but when he actually gets near another dog, he tells them off. We’re working on that, and while he is extremely head strong, he is teach able. He does need a strong master to let him know in a gentle way, that he isn’t always the boss. J

He still has residual effects of the vertigo, and sometimes when walking he topples over and needs to remain on one floor, as steps are a challenge for him. Boss does share the house with Abby the Cat, but he doesn’t appreciate sharing affection with another four-legger. Abby doesn’t care much for dogs, so whenever Boss walks by, she hisses and bats at him, and he tries to steer clear of her most of the time. They are fed in separate rooms, because Boss thinks all food is meant for him…even the food his people are eating. He’s not aggressive about mealtime, but he is a extraordinary beggar, and any food within shot of his mouth will invariably end up in his mouth. Hence, the reason he and Abby the cat eat in separate rooms. He is no respecter of another’s food…all food in his mind is meant for his belly. All in all, Boss is a perfect name for this love bug.

Joey

He's 2 years old and has only complete love and happiness to give to the people around him.

Update 10/29/2008

Joey is a sweetheart. He loves to play outside with our puppy, and is even gentle when he plays with our kitten. He is always up for a cuddle and enjoys sleeping with people instead of alone. He is great with kids and other pets. Joey is incontinent and is taking medication to improve it. The medication helps a lot, but he still has his good days and bad days, so he has to wear a doggie diaper. Aside from that, he is a great dog.

 Clyde Clyde

Update 10/13/08

This little cuddle bug is just looking for someone that he can warm their bed and their heart. Clyde is a sweet guy who would probably really enjoy being an only dog. He has been a very good boy in his foster home and has run of the house and doggie door 24/7. Clyde will not be placed with children as he has not been exposed to small ones. He is the perfect size to snuggle with fluffy pillows and stuffed comforters. Clyde can be a real clown and occasionally likes to see how fast he can run through the house. If you already have a dog, Clyde will have to meet with him/her prior to adoption. He has had some bad experiences with aggressive dogs. He is fine with cats. If you're looking for a sweet little guy to share some time with, Clyde would love to meet you.

Clyde is up-to-date on his vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and on a flea and heart worm preventative.

To learn more about Clyde please fill out our adoption application.

Maddie Debra Jesionowski
daj3155@msn.com

error-file:tidyout.log

Maddie is a 5 yr old tri color female dumped at the pound because they were finished breeding her.

Update 3/29/2009

Maddie is doing well, appears to be gaining weight, and is making good progress with housebreaking, although it's been a labor-intensive process - lots of walks and trips outside.  Crate training failed since she was highly stressed being crated, even though it was a large crate and placed in a family area.  She gets along great with our basset and does not bother the cats (who actively avoid her.)  She's very sweet, affectionate, and comfortable in a home setting - loves to look out the window, and would prefer to be a lap dog!  She does bark a lot (very excitable), has slowly learned to play (this frightened her at first), and is certainly a lot less anxious.

Update 5/27/2009

Bunny is a 5 year old gal with a sweet and gentle disposition.  Her favorite activities are finding new sleeping spots, seeking out cookies or other dropped morsels of food, and 'play fighting' with our 4 year old male basset.  She is housetrained, gets along with the other 4 dogs in her home, and is friendly with all people.  She finds the stairs in her current foster home to be a challenge, so a home with minimal stairs and 'low activity' is preferred.  Her face lights up when she can go outside for a walk, or just lay in the sun.   She will show off her basset bark whenever she wants your attention, and she loves attention, so be ready to spend some time with Bunny!  She will sit and listen to your problems for hours, and with a tilt of her head and some unique groaning noises, seem to respond "It will be OK", then hop on your lap for a snooze.  Bunny is being fostered in Dover, OH.

Ethel

 

 

Update 8/04/09

Ethel - She is a very sweet dog that loves attention and likes to sit on your lap. She loves to have her belly rubbed and usually flops over for you. She is potty trained but has accidents during the night so she needs to be crated if left alone for several hours. She seems to well around cats. She tolerates taking baths. She loves to go for walks but tends to pull you the whole time. She is learning a few commands. She knows OFF really well and is still learning STAY and SIT. She is allowed on the furniture. She is a dominate dog and will bully the boys. She is dominate of food, bed, couch, and attention. We feel she would do well as an only dog but she does get along with other dogs as long as she is boss.

Fred - He has a very laid back personality. He could easily blend in well with any family and any other pets. He is potty trained and does not need to be crated, although he seems to like it in a crate. He does have allergies which he gets medicine for. He likes going for walks and will walk by your side most of the time. He also tolerates baths pretty well. He is a heavy sleeper and once he goes down for the night he is really tough to wake up and move. He is allowed on the furniture. He likes attention but doesn't always seek it out. He loves to have his belly rubbed. He does well with the Sit command but ignores Stay and Off. He doesn't like to have his nails trimmed at all. He is very food oriented and will eat everything in site.

Neither of these dogs will let you know they have to go potty. We have been with them long enough to read their body language so to speak to know when to let them out. They were easy to train with pee-pads. Fred does have accidents when in a new environment. Sending some pics hopefully they come through.

Updated 11/30/09

Max is a character..he has his own unique personality....nothing phases him. When Max wants in your lap be prepared for a quick hop landing..once there he curls up in your lap and goes to sleep. He fits perfectly into the curve of your body when you are sleeping. Max is a very inquisitive guy, he noses around everywhere trying to figure out if something is there that will be great for him to pull onto the floor and stay busy for awhile. Because of this inquisitive nature, I crate Max while I am gone. Max is very good at using a doggy door, I am refreshing him and Molly (his sister) on giving me a signal to let them out just in case they go to a home without a doggy door. He and Molly are quiet bassets until outside and then their true nature appears. They love to chase and bark at any dog that is in the yard with them. It would be great if Max and Molly could be adopted together..they match well. I do believe being adopted separatedly would work fine also. They are both loving dogs and would make someone a wonderful companion.

Sir Caesar Naps A Lot Maribeth Walker

error-file:tidyout.log

Update 7/17/2009

Sir Caesar Naps A Lot was left at the pound by his owners,  with his papers showing his name,  a broken heart,  and also heartworm disease. Caesar isn't sad anymore, he is celebrating.  He just successfully finished heartworm treatment (7/16/09) and can now run and play like a healthy dog, because that is just what he is.  This 6 year old red & white basset boy loves everyone he meets.  Although he is a very friendly boy, it would be best he isn't adopted with young children in the home.  Caesar shows definite signs of abuse.  If you take him by the collar he gets very nervous and might snap to protect himself.  A child might not remember and grab his collar just to play and he might unintentionally snap.  I was sad to see that when  I have picked up the newspaper, or a spoon off the counter to stir something, he has become frightened and left the room.  All you have to do is tell him it is OK and pet him, and he quickly remembers he isn't going to be hurt anymore.  Thunderstorms and fireworks are not his friends, but belly rubs, giving kisses, mealtime, and his playmates are some of his favorite things.  He is doing great with housebreaking, only very seldom might make a pee mistake.

Caesar LOVES the freedom of the doggy door and fenced yard, which has made all the difference in the world with housebreaking.  A fenced yard with a playmate is at the top of his wish list for his forever home.  Caesar is neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and like any other dog needs to take the monthly heartworm preventative for life.  He has no side effects from having heartworm now that his treatment is complete. 
Caesar is being fostered in Stark County

Please fill out our on line application if you are interested in making Caesar a member of your family.  He looks forward to meeting you!

Hank Kathie
helpahound-findahome@yahoo.com
412-719-8075
error-file:tidyout.log

This handsome hunk of hound is Hank. Hank came into his foster home and made it his own. He does very well with other dogs and cats. He is about 4-5 years of age and is moderately active. Not wild but not quite a couch potato either. He is low key and takes whatever attention he is offered. Hank has a pretty mellow personality. He is up and into the thick of things when the other dogs start to play but the rest of the time he is curled up on a pillow. He was picked up when someone called him in as a stray but the humane officers really felt he may have been an owner surrender because he seemed well fed. He did require a common surgery on his eyelids to correct an irritation from his lashes and he needed a dental but his overall health was good. Hank has been so well behaved in his foster home that he has the run of the house even when we are gone. He has not been a barker and can be crated without problems if needed. If you are hound hunting, Hank wants you to know that he is hoping for a happy home to call his own.

To learn more about Hank please fill out our adoption application on our web site.

Update 09/19/09

Georgia is a beautiful 3--4yo peach (hence her name).Georgia is a very laid back girl. She was a breeder dog, and her body was definitely affected poorly because of it. But thankfully, a couple rounds of antibiotics later, and Georgia has made a full turn around from the dog she was when she first came to us. When we got Georgia Peach, she had a severe skin allergy and ear infection. She developed a bad urinary tract infection after going into heat, and had to have her spay rescheduled three times because of other health issues, but now, with a spay coming within the next few weeks, Georgia is definitely a new dog. She first came to us, she was not playful, didn't like much human attention, and spent most of her day sleeping. Now, Ms. Peach is the one starting games of tug of war with our other dogs. She is always smiling and is always within ten feet of wherever we are in the house. She just wants to be with people and other animals now. Such a great turn around for a dog with a rough start.

Olivia

If you want a basset with LOTS of personality then Olivia is the dog for you!  She's around 7 years old and she'll moan, groan, and "talk" to you all day long.  She gets along great with kids and other dogs. She'll will bark to let you know when she was to come in and go out.  She is a champion counter and table surfer "no food" is safe.  She especially loves tomatoes, she'll eat all the tomato's off you tomato plants every chance she gets.  She's basically a couch potato intermixed with short burst of "want to play" energy.

Lillie Ann is a beautiful 6 yr old tri color female rescued from a shelter in Trenton.

Update 09/07/09

Hi. My name is Lillie Ann and I am being fostered by Lucinda and Michael Peebles until my forever family adopts me. They have 4 of their own dogs and I get along with them quite well. They also have cats, and although initially I chased them, now I just leave them alone (although every once in awhile I bark at them, just to remind them that I am here). I spend most of my days sleeping on the couch and just vege out. I am housebroken but am not crated while Lucinda and Michael are at work. They do put down a couple piddle pads, just in case I can’t hold it until they get home…although I don’t need to use them very often. Although I am not crated when my foster parents are gone, I do sleep in one of my foster sisters’ crates with the door left open, just for a change of scenery. Because of my front legs being a bit misshapen, I don’t do a lot of running around. When I do get rambunctious, I tire out pretty quickly, hop back on the sofa, and go to sleep.

My foster parents don’t have any children of the 2-legged variety, so I haven’t had much contact with them, but I think I would be fine. My ideal adopted family would be a retired couple that can spend a lot of time with me, or someone who works from home. But I think I would fit into just about any family – except one that wants me to go jogging with them or on long walks. With my funky front legs, that just is not an option.

If you want a nice older basset that is calm (most of the time), polite (I don’t bark very much – except at the cats every now and then) and pretty darn mellow, I am your girl!

Homer Nov 2009

Homer 2009 Homer 2009

Update 11/18/2009

Homer is an 8yo neutered male who survived a great loss this fall and has learned to be happy again! He was "inherited" from what seems to be a long-time home, then was promptly dumped 3 days later at the dog warden with the label of "not too bright and stubborn". Can any of us imagine being plucked from our happy home and landing in a loud,cold, foreign jail? Homer stopped eating at the dog warden, a dramatic weight loss resulted with ribs & hips protruding. He became ill with a severe upper respiratory infection, requiring 3 rounds of antibiotics from OBR.

It wasn't until he started to recover that his appetite returned. Homer has learned that life is good again, that food is yummy, and sleeping is even better! It is obvious that Homer was someone's adored pet- he loves the couch, people food, and being in someone's lap! Homer is wonderful with other dogs, is curious about cats, and LOVES children!! He is such a love-sponge that a child can hang on him, kiss him, pet him, and Homer just rolls over! Not too bright?- never! He learned the location of the biscuit jar quickly! Stubborn?- just a matter of relearning what couch is his! Homer is starting to pick up a few toys, likes squeakers, but doesn't seem to care for the Basset Romp through the house. He is becoming more vocal as the weeks pass. He does not bother the garbage, nor is he a counter surfer. However, we did discover that Homer has a thing for toilet paper, and will chew it right off the holder! Homer is UTD on vaccinations, & is on preventative heart worm & flea meds.

Such a wonderful boy, handsome and smart! He gravitates towards children, so a home with younger ones would be his nirvana! Homer is waiting for the next chapter of his life to unfold! Please bring him home soon!!

To learn more about Homer please fill out our adoption application on our web site.

error-file:tidyout.log

Cooper is a one year old Beagle/basset mix. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm meds and flea prevention. He is currently living at a local dog park/kennel while he waits for a new home. His previous owner kept him chained up outside since he was a pup. Cooper gets alomg fine with other dogs, cats and children. He is an active pup and does know how to climb so a securely fenced area is required for him.

If you are interested in giving Cooper a new forever home please contact Judy at 740-881-2000 or email info@columbusdogpark.com.

Oliver

Oliver (Ollie) is a 6-7 year old neutered male who was adopted two years ago from OBR by a family in southern Ohio. Unfortunately the family is having financial difficulties and was no longer able to care for him and he was returned. He came back covered in fleas, needing to gain weight and had a skin and eye infection along with dental problems. He is currently being treated with antibiotics for the skin & eye problems and after finishing those he will be back to the vet for a dental and get him up to date on vaccines. His previous owner could not say enough good things about him. Since we have been fostering him we have found him to be a laid back guy who gets along with our three Bassets and German Shepherd and has shown no signs of food or toy aggression.

He sleeps all night in our bed and is house broken and crate trained. He is a taller basset weighing about 50 lbs but still needs to gain some weight. Being taller he is good at counter surfing but will listen if you tell him no. He's an all around nice boy who loves everyone. If you think Ollie sounds like your kind of dog please complete an adoption application and give him his final forever home.

Calvin Ron & Lisa Blidar
cvllama@yahoo.com

Calvin is a very happy, active and playful hound. He loves people and attention and plays well with other dogs. He is a smoocher too. He is probably between 11-18 months. His forever home should have at least one other dog who also likes to play, have children, and/or adults who will pay alot of attention to him. He is house broken and will need lots of toys to satisfy his puppy like chewing."

To learn more about Calvin please fill our an adoption application.

Hobbs Paula & Chris Wanter
pwanter@embarqmail.com


 

Hobbs is a 1 yr old tri color male rescued from a Franklin county shelter after he was found wandering with his brother Calvin in a busy intersection. There is no doubt these two boys are brothers. The only distinguishing difference between the two of them is that Hobbs has a little triangle on his forehead. Calvin and Hobbs are both VERY playful and will love and play with every dog or person they meet. They seem most comfortable when they are together, but will happily play one on one with another dog. Hobbs has just come into OBR's care and is still being evaluated. As with all of our dogs, he is up-to-date with his vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and on a heart worm preventive.

Daphney Bobbie Strong

Daphney

Daphney is a petite 12 yrs old spayed Basset, weighing in at 36lbs. She came to OBR after her owners of 12 years dumped her at a dog warden.

Luckily she made her way to the local humane society,and then into OBR's care. A very frightening journey for this little girl, producing much anxiety, barking, and weight loss. Despite the trauma, Daphney has remained a "sweet dog". She gets along well with dogs, cats, and LOVES children.There are no aggression or eating issues, and Daphney seems to be holding her own with the Bassets who are 20lbs heavier. She is starting to run in the house, plays with the squeaker toys, and is quite the talker!! Daphney is young in spirit, and has no health issues. We have been able to clip nails, clean ears, & bathe without incident. In fact, Daphney jumped right in the tub for her first bath!! She travels well in the car, and is strong on the leash. Daphney is house-trained, UTD on vaccinations, and is on heart worm/flea preventative. She would be a wonderful,loving addition to any home. Don't let her age fool you- she has much energy and love to share.
