Riley

Ten-year-old Riley came into our lives in October 2010, sadly given up by his previous owners as a result of a divorce. He was just passing through and was supposed to stay with us only long enough to be neutered and then go off to a foster home, but he was such an easy dog to be around, and was a nice playmate and quiet counterpoint to mischievous, noisy and busy Billy, that we decided to adopt him. Riley filled that last vacancy in our pack left by Kirby’s passing, and he now rounds out our 3-dog quota. Riley is quiet, gentle and mild mannered. He is playful with Billy, and gentle with more fragile Jackie. He loves and begs to be petted. Riley’s size and rugged good looks turn heads wherever he goes, too. Seeing him run--heavy feet and with folds of skin flapping, reminds me of a medieval charger in full regalia. Riley is a gentleman in the house, in the yard, in the car, on the street, at the dog park—everywhere. He’s just an all around lovely guy. Fran and Mark Madden, Billy and Jackie. January 12, 2011

Romeo

We waited and waited until the time was right to get a dog. Whenever we saw a basset hound they made us smile and we knew this was the dog for us. We have been smiling ever since! When we first me Romeo, now Remington, we fell in love with his friendly demeanor and constant curiosity. He has been a part of our family for over a year and everyday brings joy, excitement and countless surprises. He is a dog with a huge personality and hilarious mannerisms. He loves to travel in the car, stroll and sniff around the neighborhood and cuddle on the couch. At a time when we celebrate and reflect on what we are thankful for, we would like to thank the Golden Gate Basset Rescue for helping these wonderful dogs find forever homes. We are so happy that we get to give Remington his. Nick, Shelly & Remington Auriemmo

Ricky: a Success Story We adopted Ricky in October of 2008 and he has been a fantastic addition to our family, a perfect fit. He is smart, mellow, playful and so sweet! He loves kids and he loves other dogs. We take him to a local dog park and he is in heaven. I feel so fortunate to have discovered him through the Golden Gate Bassett Rescue. We could not have found a better dog for the needs of our family!
