The Basset Rescue Network of Great Britain

#NOBASSETGETSFORGOTTEN 

Meet Paddy, a wonderful loving boy at 4 years old.

He joined the BRNGB family in December 2023 and has been an absolute treasure to foster.

Paddy previously lived with a cat so will be happy to share his forever home with a dog savvy cat.

He joined his original family when their child was a toddler and grew up with them so he would welcome applications from homes with children over the age of 6 years old.

Paddy enjoys two meals a day and is more than happy with any treat he is offered in typical basset style. He shows no food aggression at all. 

He will happily sleep in his bed, on your lap, in your bed, on your sofa, on the floor, in the armchair where ever he can fit his basset body, if he fits, he sleeps!

He enjoys ventures out in the car and is happy to be lifted in, we’re sure he will be more than happy to use steps or a ramp. He’s a quick learner so will only take a treat or two for him to get the gist. 

He can be left home alone for short periods of time, around 4 hours without any issues, although he does like to shout about your arrival home. He’ll also welcome any delivery drivers or the postman with a shouting session.

He loves his walks and will be quite strong on lead to begin with but soon settles into a good sniffathon and loves to meet other people and dogs. 

His most favourite past-time, apart from being with his humans, having a cuddle, food and playing with his toys is a good ol‘ game of bitey face which he takes very seriously so Paddy will need another playful dog to satisfy his appetite for the most favourite of basset past-times!  

Paddy is completely house trained and will give you hints that he needs to go outside by being restless.

Paddy has shown no issues on his vet visits, he takes these visits as he seems to take life, in his very happy go lucky, playful, laid back manner 

All in all Paddy is a wonderful boy, who will be a wonderful companion to another playful hound in a family home. 

Paddy’s needs:-

– A family home with another playful dog 

– Applications with dog savvy cats are welcome 

– Applications with children over the age of 6 years old are welcome 

– Active family 

– Someone who is home most of the time, Paddy can be left for up to 4 hours at a time 

– Someone to keep on with his training as he settles into his new life 

Applications will close at 8pm on the 19th February 2024.

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:

Paddy is subject to an adoption fe es and a successful home check. If your home check is successful, your family including dogs will need to be able to travel to his foster home to meet him and his foster family.

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

Paddy comes with 5 weeks free insurance via our rehoming partner, Agria.

Paddy, as with all of our hounds will have full rescue back up for life.
