This is Max. He thinks he is a guard dog.. He is not. LOLOL Max came into our lives in February of 2008. We adopted him from Utah Friends of Basset Hounds rescue. We drove to Salt Lake City, with no idea of what dog we would be bringing home, and after looking at several, we found Max.
He is approximately 5 yrs old and spent the majority of his first 4 years living in a crate in his own waste. When he was found and placed into rescue he had urine burns on his bottom from lying in his own urine. His hair was even missing in these areas.
Max is the most loving, gentle and cuddly basset I have ever owned, and I have owned 6 bassets in the last 28 years, so I can say this with authority. We are thankful that Max chose us.....
Please support your local rescues folks!! Dont Shop, ADOPT!!!

Max is adorable!
Awww Max is so cute. I love the fact that you rescued him. I want to rescue a bulldog one of these days.
My daughter got a basset hound a few years ago, while she was living in an apartment where she was not...NOT suppose to have a dog. Plus she was living with her brother who did not want her to get the dog. So it was a horrible mess. The dog "messed" all in the apartment, cried a lot and she got into trouble. Sometimes she just does not use her head to think and at 18, just moving out of the house, you never know what a kid is going to do. She kept him for a while longer, moved into a house, and with time she just could not take care of him. I was FURIOUS with her. She could not take care of him like he needed, she was in college, working and being a KID. She was very sad, and upset, but we gave Walter to a police officer friend of mine who had two others. I do not believe in getting a dog and then giving them away. I think a dog is like a kid, take what you get, get what you take,and take care of it. Thank goodness there are people who are willing to help when kids make bad decisions. Even with puppies!!! It you catch my drift.
