The Basset Rescue Network of Great Britain

#NOBASSETGETSFORGOTTEN 

Panda is a very active, loving girl who is totally obsessed with balls, she even sleeps with them in her mouth!

Her foster mum describes her as being half Basset, half duracell bunny.  In actual fact Panda is Basset x Springer Spaniel. 

She is the most sweetest little girl who loves life, playing with other dogs and most of all….playing with her balls, she is totally obsessed with balls! Be ready to have one dropped on your head in the middle of the night!

Panda is fully housetrained and will stand at the door when she wants to go out. 

She is currently in foster with two other bassets who she loves to play with and either sleeps with them, or sneaks onto her foster mum’s bed where she settles all night. 

She walks well on a collar and lead, she’s not a fan of a harness.  She can pull when she sees other dogs, but is happy to meet other dogs when she is off lead. 

She can be wary of stranger people, once she gets to know you she is fine (especially if you have a ball!) and happy to have a snuggle. 

She loves her food and eats from a slow feed bowl or she just inhales it otherwise. We haven’t found anything she doesn’t like to eat

She loves her walks and her recall is great. She loves to play and another dog would be great or older children who could keep her entertained. 

Once Panda gets to trust you, you won’t find another dog more loving and she loves her cuddles. 

She can be a bit barky when there is anyone about outside the house, she’s great guard dog, she will quiet when told

Panda travels well in the car and loves to be looking out the window. She’s happy to be boosted or lifted into the car.

Panda has shown no signs of seperation anxiety and has been left for up to 4 hours with no issues. 

Although Panda is good with children, if there are toys in the mix she can get over excited, so maybe only older children would be considered. 

Panda would love a home with another playful hound or two  She does not like small furries so no cats, chickens etc. 

All in all Panda is a lovely girl and who ever is successful in their application for her will be very lucky!  

If so we would love to hear from you if you fit Panda’s criteria

Panda will need someone who is at home more often than not and prepared to put in the time to help her settle

• Someone who is willing to work with Panda in building a relationship and trust and be patient whilst she get to know you and her new home
• No small furries
• Older Children who are dog savvy and understand not to leave toys around
• Someone who is willing to provide a lot of balls to satisfy Panda’s needs 
• A home with 1 or 2 playful hounds is not a must, but Panda does love a play mate. 
• Patience and time to spend with both in the crucial first few weeks as Panda adapts.

Taking on a rescue dog is not the easy option. You need to be prepared to help a confused and troubled hound find their place in your family. They have been through a massive upheaval and will need time to settle into a new way of life, so please consider this BEFORE you fill in an application.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

Panda is is subject to an adoption fees and a successful home check. If your home check is successful, your family including dogs will need to be able to travel to her foster home to meet her foster family.

You will also have a telephone call with a member of the team, plus Panda’s foster family, so that all of her history can be shared with you in person, and that we can be assured that you can fill all of her needs, demands and requirements.
