Duke - Update and Pics.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Just thought I'd share the last few Duke pics, and I have something to say, and I don't want to be bashed for it, but I have a feeling I will be.

Pictures first, and then my news.






Duke isn't going to be able to stay with us. I have contacted a Basset Hound rescue because I am not sending him back to the awful place where he came from. He's a great dog, super sweet and loving, but we've unfortunately discovered that he isn't right for our family. He terrifies the cats (he doesn't mean to) and they're acting out/not acting like themselves since he has been around, and Lily is afraid to walk by him sometimes for whatever reason. I should have researched and seen how he acted with the other pets before we brought him home, but usually they do fine with new pets coming in (as they did when we got Domino,) but things do not seem to be getting better.

I love him, I really do, it's breaking my heart and I'm getting teary eyed typing this, but he just can't stay with us. So, I am trying to do the right thing for him by trying to find him a new home. He deserves someplace where other animals get along with him and someone who has plenty of time and attention given to him and lots of love so he is spoiled rotten. I'm not going to just throw him out and give him away to just anyone as his previous owners seemed to do, since he has been passed around and mistreated. That's why I contacted a Basset rescue. If things don't work out with the rescue, then I will be doing everything in my power to find him a perfect home.

If anyone on here has any suggestions in finding him a home, or heck, even if anyone is interested in adopting him (I'm in Southeast TN), then please message me.

I'm doing the best thing for Duke, and hopefully there will be some people on here that will understand that and not bash me for trying to do the best thing for my dog.

Awww, we know you just what is best for him. Bassett rescue is probably your best bet.

And remember, you at least got him out of a bad situation, and have given him both love and care and food, and he is better off having spent time with you than he would have been otherwise.

I think as long as he's not in the bad home anymore then that's great for him. I'm glad you're taking the time to find him a better place. I can only imagine how hard it is on you. You have to think of your current pets as well

I'm glad y'all understand.

BellyRubs is who I contacted. I contacted the Leanne person via her email on the website. I'm hoping I get a reply back tomorrow, or Tuesday at the latest.

This is exactly what I was thinking too. He's already looking much healthier, he's got a lot less fleas, and he is happier and I think he might even be fattening up a little bit .

I'm glad you understand my situation. I hate doing it, but I can't have my other three being upset because of Duke.

Just wanted to post a little update.

Duke has two homes lined up for him. We are waiting on one to contact us and then we will go from there. If we don't hear anything then there is another wonderful family that he will go to.

I'm going to miss the little stinker , but I know this is the right thing for him.

Oh, that's good news. Thanks for letting us know!
