Cooper the Spaniel Mix from New York State

Hi, my name is Cooper and this is my brother, Floyd. I'm a cocker spaniel/basset hound mix and he's a beagle mix. Our parents adopted him first, when he was just a skinny puppy at the SPCA. Now he's almost two years old. Mom and Dad were going to wait to adopt another dog, but then I popped up behind the desk at the vet's office. The doctor was fostering me because I was born without all the bones in my legs (I'm doing great now). So me and Floyd are best buddies, but we're very different. He's very high energy and always on alert. I'm more mellow, I just like to chew bones and observe. But I'm lucky I have such a nice big brother!

Cledus the Basset Hound Mix from Montana

Well, hello there! My name is Cledus and I am quite an unusual, but darling, mix. My parents were a full basset hound and a bloodhound/lab mix. I am from Bozeman, MT and I have really funny big ears and front feet. My mom adopted me from the Humane Society when I was about 8 months old and gave me a wonderful home where I am allowed to romp around a big ranch and sniff out everything my heart desires. I'm the happiest dog alive! Nothing ever gets me down and I have a face that can cheer anyone up. I have my own basket of toys and when I play with them, I have to drag all of them out and play with them all. My mom is my best friend and I cuddle up with her all the time on her big bed.

A lot of times basset hound mixes have a sad-looking face, but not me!

I'm smiling even with this cone on my head!

There's nothing that can get me down.

I'm one happy hush puppy!

Hannah the Basset Hound Mix from Virginia

Hi there! My name is Hannah and I'm a basset hound/spaniel mix from Reston, VA. I have funny "elephant ballet feet" but I'm okay with that. When I was just a puppy, I was found on the street and taken in by a rescue group. When I went to the vet to get spayed, they found a bullet in my neck! Luckily it didn't do any permanent damage. The rescue group brought me to a pet expo where I met my new family. Now I have a great life! I get home-cooked food and lots of playtime at the dog park. My mommy is a renowned artist who paints portraits of animals. Her work benefits animal rescue and welfare organizations throughout the U.S. She thinks I'm special. I think she's pretty special, too.

I've been studying to become a ballerina, since my feet are naturally in first position.

I exercise every day and keep my tail fluffed and pretty.

I even bought myself a pink tutu.

The one thing holding me back from becoming a professional ballerina is this tongue.

I try to keep it in my mouth, but it's not easy.

Mommy thought I was so cute she had a doll made that looks like me!

Lucy the Basset Hound Mix from California

Hi! I'm Lucy from San Diego, CA. I am 5 months old and growing very fast! I was saved from a yucky pet store, where they told my mom I was a basset hound/lhasa apso mix. (No one really believes that.) I live with my two aunts, who are dachshunds, and I love to play with them. When I'm not playing, I go everywhere with Mommy. People fawn over me and I welcome the attention. But Mommy is my favorite. I give her lots of love and I know she loves me back.

Mommy, can we go play at the park? I got your water bottle ready.

I just gotta get a quick nap in. Then we can go.

Maybe we'll meet some people at the park that will think I'm cute.

But first, have you seen my tennis ball? I can't find it.

Howard the Basset Hound Mix from Illinois

My name is Howard, but you can call me Howie. I am a basset hound/lab mix from Park Ridge, IL. My family went to the shelter looking for a small, female dog - but once they saw my face they had to take me home. Not only am I handsome, but my legs go out in different directions. I have a huge basket full of toys, and I love to chase the fish in the lake, but my favorite thing in the whole world is my Mommy.

Of course they had to adopt me...just look at me!

Do you like my fancy necklace? I think it adds a splash of color.

Mommy is lucky to have me, but I am more lucky to have her.

This has been fun, but I'm ready for my nap now.

Bruno

Bruno is a lab/basset hound/chow mix from Grapevine, Texas. As you can see, he loves to play peek-a-boo with clothes. He also loves his Loofa toys (and who doesn’t?). Bruno is “the sweetest little boy,” says Mom. And we can tell!

Peek-a-boo?

Ha ha! You found me!

No give me my Bobo!

Ollie

Ollie is a lab/basset hound mix from Elkridge, Maryland. He was dropped off at a pet store when his owner’s two purebred dogs produced an unwanted litter of mutts. His new Mommy and Daddy couldn’t resist taking him home. Ollie is very affectionate and loves to play with cats.

How could you not love this face?

I'm so cute I could be a cartoon.

See what you're missing, people?!
