Rehoming Your Basset Hound

Are you in need of rehoming your Basset Hound? Whether your circumstances have changed or you find it challenging to cope, I am here to help.

Rehabilitation in a Pack

It’s crucial for your Basset to undergo rehabilitation within a pack. Even if they come from a loving home, they need to recover from their past experiences with the help of an experienced individual. I do not use fosters as they may not have the necessary experience.

Due to the rising costs of veterinary care and the doubling cost of neutering, any donations towards the medical expenses of our rescues would be greatly appreciated.

How does it work?

My Approach

  • Integration: My own dogs assist newcomers in settling in. They play together in the yard and field next to my home and share my home with my dogs.
  • Commitment: No matter the reason for parting with your Basset, I will never refuse a Basset. I promise to keep you informed about their progress both in the pack and when they find their new forever families.

Trust and Experience

I understand how difficult it can be to part with loved ones. I will make the process as smooth as possible for you. You can trust me to do my utmost for your Basset. Dogs of all breeds are my passion, especially Basset Hounds, which I have had in my life for around 40 years.

What some of the adopters say

What Lyn provides to these bassets is a safe, happy place for rehabilitation, and past behaviour improvements. An amazing program and wish there were more Lyns in the world!

“I had the absolute honour and pleasure to adopt Paddington a one year old Basset from Lyn yesterday. I have never met a person more dedicated to her dogs and in particular Basset Hounds.

Lyns rescue does things in a particular way which some people don’t like (mainly because they haven’t been allowed to have a dog or haven’t read the pinned post and have sour grapes probably) but it absolutely works and she is rightly proud of how she runs her rescue. All her dogs are very happy and well looked after and she is very knowledgable when it comes to training, our dog Coco is better already from spending about an hour with Lyn who took time with us to make sure we were the right family for Paddington but not just that, also to make sure we were better equipped for ongoing training of both dogs.
I would absolutely recommend expressing your interest with Lyn if you think you could be the right home for a Basset Hound but, bear in mind, it’s a good idea to do some research into the breed if you don’t know them, for instance the last lady who has left a negative review clearly isn’t aware that Bassets do not like to be only dogs, you may think your undivided attention is enough but for a Basset it won’t be, they are very unliklley to be happy in a home where they are the only dog. Lyn does things the way she does for a reason and will never rehome a dog if she thinks it won’t be happy.”

We were fortunate enough to rescue the lovely Elsie (was Belle). She has changed our lives and will be forever grateful to Lyn for choosing us over the many hundreds of people wanting to give her a home. Lyn has the most incredible heart and offers so many dogs a safe rehome. We wouldn’t hesitate from coming back to Lyn again in the future if we looked for a second dog. As above, keep doing your amazing work Lyn!xx

I was fortunate enough to rescue the lovely WALTER from Lyn who I love with all my heart. Lyn is the most caring human you could ever wish to meet. She cares so passionately for all the animals in her care and every single one of them is lucky to have found her. I cannot emphasise enough what a true angel this lady is to all the animals in her care. I will ONLY ever rescue and if I am lucky enough again, I will only rescue from Lyn. Thank you for everything you do – genuinely I mean that. Anyone who wants a reference from me directly on what a great lady Lyn is, please feel free to contact me directly… Keep up your great work Lyn.
