Rufus
Rufus is a single, red & white, neutered male looking for his forever home. He is 2 1/2 years old and would love a house with another younger playful pup though he is happy simply playing with toys by himself as well. Rufus has gotten along well in a house with a large cat; however, he is overly interested in what the cats leave inside the litter box, so you will need to ensure the litter box is not accessible by him. Rufus really likes little kids but could knock them over as he is so interested in them. Rufus love walks, car rides and playing fetch or chase in the yard. While Rufus has a lot of play energy he also enjoys spending time on the couch just relaxing with a bone or taking a nap. He is very curious and determined and will get through small spaces just to see what's on the other side which means he needs a secure fenced yard. He also enjoys "counter surfing" for anything and everything. He is house-trained and has occasional accidents although he has improved while in his foster home. Rufus is crate-trained, and he has no food, treat, or toy aggression. Rufus is a very good boy overall, and he is working on his manners. He is a classic, stubborn basset hound, so he listens when he feels like it.
Rufus's Sponsors
- Susan Woodward - Marietta, GA. In memory of Laptop.
- Bev & Gene Fochtman - Savannah, GA. In memory of our beloved Corbin, Bernadette and Valerie.

Thurston Howl
Thurston is a red and white boy who is around 6 years old. Here's what he has to say! "Hello! I'm Thurston Howl or TH to my friends. I am a young hound with lots of energy and a love of playtime. Fetching a ball and chasing toys around the house are among my favorite games. I also need a walk each day for my exercise. I can live with another dog but need a strong dog that can put me in my place. Otherwise, I can play a bit too rough, and I don't mean to be a bully. I can be a bit of a moody dog and do not like to be bothered when I am resting or sleeping. I do have a loud houndy bark that I use to show my displeasure with things that are not going my way or that are scary to me. I can also be over reactive to things that are not going my way. Every morning I get eye drops that I take for dry eye and will take for the rest of my life. If you think I would be perfect for you, let's set up a play date to meet in person."

Turner
Turner has visited a BHRG vet for a complete check up and is ready for adoption. He's a tri-colored boy who is around 5 1/2 years old and gets along with kids and other dogs. He rides well in a car, and enjoys walks although he does pull a bit on the leash. Turner is sweet and loving, but he can be a stinker at times and get into things that he shouldn't. Ziplock bags fascinate him, and he will get anything within reach like a loaf of bread, etc. But you can't get mad at him because he is so sweet. He is a good sleeper during the day, and he sleeps in his crate at night. Turner is dealing with skin allergies and is eating special food and taking medication. He will most likely always have skin/allergy issues, but the vet is helping him be as comfortable as possible. Turner is dog door trained and crate trained.
