To benefit bassethound rescue, 225 bassethounds, accompanied by loving owners, waddled in the Lilac Festival Parade, Rochester, NY.

This was another opportunity to benefit basset hound rescue. Walking among the many basset hounds and meeting their owners is a marvelous experience.

A beautiful day and a great parade!

Abby arrived 2/24/08. She's gentle, quiet and a real lovey. This is not the place to detail the many ailments that beset Abby.

These are of Abby after weeks of work to heal yeast infection etc. Also a few are post operation, May 4.

Ten basset hounds and owners attended a delightful breakfast.

Scared and in need of a bath, Barney arrived last night from Amsterdam.

Communicate with your pets.

Dudley arrived from the shelter on a hot, muggy day. But even so he was gentle, friendly and good natured!

Rescued from the shelter, Flash arrived yesterday. He's a puppy! Just delightful!

Fred is a very well behaved 16mo old puppy. He likes me : )

Gus was the easiest foster, we ever experienced--obedient, slept in his own bed, came to us when he needed to go out. His circumstances started out well, with some excellent training, but Gus became unwanted by a key member of family his so he came to ABC.

Loving and lovable Harley. He gave us kisses within a half hour after bringing him home from the shelter.

Huck is a most well behaved 10 yr old basset hound. He's a sweetie!!

She's a gentle lady! She arrived at our house July 30, 2006 very much in need of love and affection. And we provided! Oh, how she loves it.

Lily was a stray. The shelter named her and it is a delightful name as she is a delightful young lady.
