Bertie has a cute whine/bark combo, she LOVES to chase the rabbits off of our
property(aka “Sheriff Bertie”),and bunny hops when she plays with her toys. She loves to cuddle and is so appreciative of everything. She listens very well, never tries to steal food and has wonderful manners.
Bertie loves to take long walks in the neighborhood and see all her new friends. She celebrated her 6th birthday with us and had a doggie peanut butter cake that she shared with her sister Sadie and doggie friends in the neighborhood.
We are all so happy to have her in our family. She is wonderful company for our older basset, Sadie.

Junior is a great hound. He is a senior but you would never it. He loves to do whatever we do. And if he wants to do something he lets you know. We love him. Thanks Tri State!

Dolly is doing great! She's been living in Albany for almost two years now and has adapted perfectly to apartment life. She loves hiking around the Capital Region during the weekends and enjoys visiting the dog park during lunch time. She's become quite the model (@DollyANTM) on Instagram) and frequently can be found getting her picture taken by customers at various patio eateries. Last Halloween, she placed second in a local costume contest as Georgie from IT and continues to be thankful for Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue's continued work!

Putter is such a great dog! I can't believe someone gave him up. He quickly picked up on our house rules and routines. Putter and Jackson (our pit mix) are best buds. They love playing together and going on walks. We are so happy that you all helped to bring Putter into our lives!

We adopted Dudley a cold weekend in January of this year. His foster Liz was kind enough to bring him to our home since he only lived about 45 minutes from us. It was definitely love at first sight for my six year old son, husband and myself. Having already had two basset hounds before Dudley we were very familiar with the breed. The first 3 1/2 weeks were exhausting because poor Dudley had anxiety pretty bad and he had just lost his owner who had fallen ill suddenly then was in foster then with us so the poor guy was so scared, but remained so loving and affectionate with us. A month in, things just clicked! Between our vets helping us Tri-State checking in with us things just feel in to place. He is hysterical! already a hit in the neighborhood with everyone, he LOVES kids, people, animals etc. He is great with commands, loves his walks and absolutely LOVES our son to pieces and our son LOVES him to pieces. He reminds us of our other bassets a lot. We look forward to spoiling him the same way we did our Otis and Sadie and want to thank Tri-State for their help in finding Dudley and for keeping in touch with us through the beginning stages of our adoption.
