It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Dudley, a beloved CBHR alumnus and current foster hound. Although Dudley's time with us was too short, he lived a wonderful life since joining CBHR. Treasured by his previous owner and adored by his foster family, this spunky, belly rub lovin' guy left paw prints on all our hearts.

Our deepest condolences to Joe, Dudley's previous owner, who provided nearly 7 years of care, patience, and unconditional love. We also extend our sympathies to Dudley's foster parents, Larry and Mary, who welcomed him into their home and helped prepare him for his forever family. To Dudley's future adoptive parents, Lori & DJ, thank you for opening your hearts to Dudley.

Rest in the sweetest peace, our lovely Dudley. You will be dearly missed. 🌈❤️

FUNDRAISER ALERT! 📢
Meet Fig, a 1.5-year-old hound who joined CBHR from a local shelter just a few weeks ago. Fig arrived needing urgent medical attention as he was struggling to breathe and refusing to eat.

Despite his ordeal, Fig remained a gentle soul who craved nothing more than cuddles and comfort. We're dedicated to giving Fig the care he deserves, but we can't do it alone. With your support, we aim to cover his extensive medical expenses that were necessary to save his life. Please join us in ensuring Fig continues to receive the treatment he needs to recover and thrive. Together, we can make a world of difference in Fig's life.

Introducing the King of Sploots (aka Dudley)! 👑

Dudley is a CBHR Alumnus who was adopted as a young lad back in 2018 by a US Veteran. "Dudster" spent over 5 years with his loving owner but recently made his way back to CBHR in hopes of finding a family who could provide the life his owner believes he deserves. This now mature king is back at 9 years young, ready to find his furever family once again!

Dudley's perfect place would be a home filled with lots of love: canine siblings to hang with, pawrents who are home often, and time to play with toys! This goofy guy is coming out of shell and has been making his presence known. In keeping with typical basset fashion, he likes the sound of his own bark. (I mean, who doesn't?)

Think this hound is perfect for your home? Check out his profile in the link below to learn more!

We'd like to thank Dudley's previous owner for his service and for providing a loving home to this hound for many years. ❤

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of Harvey, a CBHR hound who was finally ready to call his foster parents his furever family.

Harvey, previously known as Harvest, came to CBHR in September 2022 and was welcomed into the Jamison's home immediately. Carole & Richard agreed to tend to Harvey's extensive medical needs while he was in their foster care, but quickly fell in love with this easy-going guy. After almost two years of receiving the medical attention that he deserved, this hound was finally ready to officially join the Jamison family when he bid farewell to all those who loved him.

Although Harvey was taken from us too soon, he will always be remembered as a loving hound with unwavering resilience. We extend our deepest condolences and gratitude to our incredible foster parents, Carole and Richard. Your selflessness and unconditional love truly transformed this dog's life.

You will certainly be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting you, Harvey. Rest in peace, sweet boy. ❤

What’s that saying? When life gives you lemons, adopt a Basset Hound? Yeah that sounds right.

I’m Hal, a handsome 3-year-old lemon, but I’m anything but sour! Give me all the attention and snuggles, and I’ll be the happiest hound. You could say I have a serious zest for life - I'm always down for some long walks and playtime with my favorite squeaky toys.

I would thrive in a single-dog home with no children so I can continue my training with a seasoned pawrent who has experience with positive reinforcement training. Patience and lots of love would be appreciated - I've been workin' real hard with my trainer and foster family!

Sound like you’re the pawfect family for me? Well what are you waiting for? Squeeze the day and click the link below to learn more about me!

Hello furiends, we just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for helping us to find these sweet sisters a foster home on short notice last month.

They are adopting them! Although nervous and wary at first, these girls are now attached to their pawrents, and the feeling is mutual. Lulu and Rosie were thriving - and the daily coffee shop trips with dad just sealed the deal!😋

ADOPTION PUPDATE!🐾

Anne, now Annie (aka Annie F***y) has made herself right at home with her new furever family! This queen of cuddles settled in quite quickly and is getting along well with her new sister/CBHR Alumna Sadie Mae. When Annie isn't on someone's lap, you can probably find her curled up under her dad's desk keeping him company! 💜

Today we share the unfortunate passing of our beloved friend, Winston. Winston came to CBHR with his pal Edwin in January of 2023. During his time with CBHR, he endured extensive medical treatment, but found true happiness in his foster/furever home with a family who loved him dearly. Winston fought bravely and brought joy to all those who had the pleasure of meeting him - a true hero.

Rest in peace, sweet boy. ❤🌈

It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of Alex, a sweet senior basset who was on his search for his furever home with CBHR. Alex had to say goodbye to his brother Remy and his foster mom, who loved and cared for him dearly. We'd like to express our deepest condolences and heartfelt gratitude to Ruth, whose unwavering love and support made a world of a difference in this hound's life.

Rest in peace, our sweet Alex❤🌈

Adoption pupdate and back my pupular demand...

You may remember this ol' gent and his incredible success story. Rudy and his pal Molly came to CBHR in January and did a complete 180 in the time that they spent with their foster family. Nicknamed "Bob Barker" by his foster pawrents, Rudy transformed into a boisterous, sweet hound who demanded ear rubs 24/7... or else.

But before he was available for adoption, Rudy had some underlying medical issues that needed tending to. His inability to gain weight and severe dental issues required numerous vet visits in order to determine the underlying issues and create a treatment plan.

Enter Cheryl & Jim. These two incredible horse-saving heroes were interested in this handsome senior hound at first sight. They supported Rudy's foster pawrents during his emotional health journey, and when the time came, they welcomed Rudy into their home with open arms as his forever foster parents.

Fast forward to today and Rudy is absolutely loving the farm life with his new brothers, Jake and Cody. He's warming up to those big dogs with the long snoots in the barn, and he has taken a special interest in his feline brother, Spud. After a long walk in the woods with his family, he enjoys lounging in "his" chair and admiring the beautiful landscapes.

Rudy is a testament to the power of second chances. His story highlights the impacts of selflessness and dedication to improving an animal's life, regardless of their age. Because of our wonderful CBHR medical manager and two incredible forever foster parents, Rudy is now living out the rest of his days in pure bliss.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Husker, a beloved CBHR Alumnus. A word from Haley, Husker's furever family who spent nearly 7 wonderful years loving this hound:
"Having Husker was the greatest joy of my life; he was the absolute best dog and his loss has been absolutely devastating. The only consolation I have is knowing he was such a happy boy and lived a good life."

Rest in the sweetest peace, our handsome Husker. ❤🌈

ADOPTION PUPDATE!

Molly came to CBHR this past January, frightened of what her future held. She left the comfort of her home with her brother, Rudy, and (em)barked on a new journey. Molly thrived in her foster home within a week of being there. Her foster parents knew that whoever was lucky enough to adopt this spunky girl would love her immediately.

Fast forward 5 months and Molly is absolutely thriving with her furever family. She adores her pawrents and is enjoying the company of her new brother, Cooper. Molly's days now consist of long walks, suntanning, and lounging on her favorite recliner (that she stole from her dad). Another happy hound in the books! 📚🐾

17/05/2024

Bloat, formally known as Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) complex, occurs when the stomach fills with air, preventing blood flow from the hind legs and abdomen from returning to the heart. Additionally the stomach will flip and take the spleen and pancreas with it, cutting off blood circulation to these vital organs. GDV is responsible for killing 30% of the dogs it affects.

Signs of bloat can include salivating, retching, restlessness, an enlarged abdomen, and whining if the abdomen is touched. If you notice signs of bloat, seek medical attention immediately. Time is of the essence - without treatment, the dog’s heart rate will quicken and eventually lead to death, typically within an hour or two.

There are multiple, conflicting arguments as to why bloat happens, so it’s important to stay up to date on current studies and take the necessary precautions to avoid this from happening. Currently, it has been agreed upon that dogs with larger chests (i.e. Basset Hounds) are at a higher risk. Increased activity after mealtimes also increases the risk of bloat. This includes playing with other dogs, jumping on the couch/bed, and even long walks. Large meals and eating quickly are also key contributing factors to a dog experiencing bloat. To minimize the risk of experiencing bloat, we recommend feeding your hound multiple small meals a day using a slow feeder, followed by scheduled relaxation time.

GDV is a frightening disease, but with the proper knowledge, awareness, and treatment, we can continue to keep our hounds healthy, happy, and safe.
