Western Missouri Basset Rescue, Inc., Contract PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The goal of Western Missouri Basset Rescue, Inc. is to find kind and loving homes for basset hounds. We are a NON-profit organization and get our operating monies from adoption fees and donations. If, at ANYTIME during your adoption, you need advice, help with medical problems, training issues, etc., please feel free to call Chris at 816-353-5643, or Margaret at 816-853-1634. We are happy to answer any question or to help with any problem you may be having adjusting to your new basset. Please bear in mind that most basset hounds in rescue have been abandoned, neglected or even abused in some way, and it may take some time, even weeks for them to understand your routine and what you expect of them. There will also be accidents even from the adults, so please exercise patience. Also, remember puppies chew and bassets can be puppy-like for up to 3 years! If you have smaller children in the household, PLEASE teach them to never bother the basset during mealtimes or while he/she has a chew toy. Some dogs have food and toy issues and children should be supervised during these times. The adoption fees are as follows:
Included in the adoption fee: vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and all costs to make the basset healthy for adoption.
