Remington

We received Ziggy (formerly known as Remington) on January 20th, 2024, the day before my husband's birthday. We had taken about a six year hiatus from owning a Basset hound (a puppy for that matter) and were so excited to have another basset in the family; our son's first basset. We all fell instantly in love with Ziggy. This was our first time 'fostering to adopt' but our Vet and GGBR made it simple. Ziggy had been with two other families just in his short couple months on earth so we welcomed the opportunity to be his foster parents knowing we would 99.9% end up adopting him. Due to some possible joint issues, Ziggy's neuter was pushed off until his 1st birthday so we stayed his 'foster' parents for quite some time. The whole foster process was seamless due to GGBR's wonderful staff with great communication and quick response times. Ziggy is a happy, loving, spoiled cuddle bug and gets along with our whole family, including the cat. He has a joyful and typical basset stubborn temperament. He loves running around on our property and sunbathing. Thank you GGBR! The Billings Family, 06Jan2025_[Remington (aka Ziggy) fostered Jan2024; adopted Nov2024].

Rocky (Turlock)

We changed Rocky's name to Wilbur. As you can see from the picture I sent, Wilbur just completed level 1 obedience 6 week training class. We signed him up for level 2 class in August. Wilbur is doing well, he is very energetic young male basset hound. Also a very smart basset hound. We are enjoying having him. We are taking him camping this July for 1 week. Wilbur is definitely keeping us busy with all his energy. --D.D., 26June2024, (adopted 02Mar2024)

Red (Napa)

I have had Mr. Gus [formerly known as Red] for 2 months. I am so happy to report that he is thriving. He fits in so great in my home. Gus was a little shy when he arrived but he immediately decided this was his forever home. He loves his dog brother Parker. Gus has brought out the young guy in my current Bassett. Gus is a constant player and is constantly engaging his brother in "rough housing." The one thing about Gus that amazes me is his speed. He races around the house at 90 miles an hour. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to adopt Gus from GGBR. He is everything I was looking for, and so much more. Thank GGBR for all you do. This is my second time adopting from GGBR.__Leslie M, 23Feb2024 (adopted 31Jan2024)

Rocky (Modesto)

Rocky, now named Maximus, or Max, for short, was adopted with Molly (Roseville). Please see their story, under the name, Molly (Roseville). The photo shows Rocky (aka Maximus) on the left and Molly (aka Dolly) on the right.

Roma

Thank you so much for gifting me Emma [fka Roma]. She has brought so much joy into my life! I so much appreciate that you did not give up on me with respect to finding a basset. It really took time and patience to finally put us together, but we have now completely bonded and I cannot image my days without her! Thank you so much! G.O._06Sept2023
