Ruby become Reba!

Dear Beagles & Buddies,

We are the proud owners of Ruby, aka, REBA! She is a wonder and a delight to have in our home. She is wonderful with all children, big and small, loves other dogs, male and female and has even managed to make friends with our two Guinea Pigs!!! Ruby is a favorite at school. She rides along to drop the girls off almost every day and enjoys all the attention from the children. She is just finishing up with some dog training and she is one bright girl! Our family has been spreading the good news about your shelter ever since her adoption.

Thank you,

Jacqueline Lutz

How do new dogs and babies get along?

The baby and the dog should never be left alone together.

However, Bassets are the least likely to be dangerous. There are other breeds such as the Labrador, the Golden Retriever, and the Collie that are unlikely to snap at children.

Adopting an older dog that has had experience with children is much better than adopting a puppy or a young dog without experience.

With puppies, teething is part of growing up - and sometimes they don't know the strength of their own jaws. Rather than riskng it, go with an older dog. That way, both parties can have fun & respect without getting into any trouble!!
