Tomorrow is the day we celebrate the success of our first foster dog. He is going to a family in northern Minnesota who is ready to love on him forever. ❤️🐾
In this short amount of time, we have taught each other so much. He is learning that going potty on the grass is nice, but forgets sometimes and walks to the cement. He’s learning that long ears are cute, but they have to be washed a lot because of it. I’m learning to have a little barrier to protect my heart from needing to keep this boy forever. I’m remembering that puppies are hard and they deserve patience, love, positive reinforcement and all of the kindness. Especially when he has had such a short, not so amazing life.
More than anything, I’m recognizing how much effort and hard work is put into the organization that I foster for, to ensure an easy transition for the fosterer’s home, and to ensure these puppies, seasoned dogs, bonded pairs, and any other bassets that are rescued are going into good homes. Not only to be fostered, but also to be adopted. This has been so easy in that regard.
This last week, I was able to meet Tango’s new family via FaceTime. They are nothing short of incredible people ready for their new baby and anxious to hold him and love him forever. If all goes well, Tango will be in his forever home by the end of the day tomorrow.
As I sit here writing, I’m so proud of my family for all of the help they have given and all of the love they have shared. All for one baby basset.
Tango will live in our hearts forever and Flash will finally have alpha status back in our house for a little bit. He will be ready for a little more quiet and resort to picking on Bailey and Birk The Cat instead of the little pipsqueak that has been nipping at his ears.
This organization has changed my life. please take a minute to check out their site. The ears are never-ending and the love is everywhere.

Coming soon……. A bonded pair of bassets. They will need lots and lots of love and affection and likely more time with us to be ready for a new family.

Beth, thank you for joining Minnesota Basset Rescue and fostering sweet little Tango. It is good to know that he is healthy and ready to join his forever family. Thanks for all you have done for him to be sure he is ready to be adopted.
