I have two dogs myself as well as a cat. Once upon a time I used to pick up all the strays I found and took them home. Fortunately for me people quit dumping their pups out where I live. The s-i-l loves bassets and would have gone and adopted it. I think it was devine intervention that someone else adopted it. S-i-l lives in an apartment.

We used to live out in the country and people from town would bring animals out and dump them and we took in many strays that way. I had a great young dog, Collie German Shepherd mix, who would not stay home. When she didn't come home one night, bright and early the next morning I made the rounds of all the neighbors looking for Hush Puppy. One older man looked very embarrassed when I showed him Hush Puppy's picture. He sheepishly admitted he had taken her into town and dumped her because he thought that is where she had come from. I got her back!
