Earl	Michelle Feather 440-241-5483
	Earl is four years old. He has been a great basset hound, gets along great with our black lab and is house broken. He can be a very sweet dog, yet like most basset hounds, very stubborn or set in his ways. During these 4 years, we have had two babies in the past two years and all this commotion is affecting Earl. He is starting to growl at me and become somewhat aggressive when there is too much going on and I am concerned for my children’s safety. I am afraid that we will have to find a good home for him. I don’t want this situation to escalate any further. If anyone is interested in Earl, please call my cell phone at 440.241.5483.

What are Owner Relinquish Dogs?

Owner relinquish dogs are pets that their current owners no longer feel that they can care for their pet in a manner that a responsible pet care-taker should. The reasons these owners give up their pets vary, from allergies, illness, divorce, new work demands, or poor family planning to name a few. OBR encourages owners to consider their pet’s needs before making major life choices that can be traumatic for their pet.

Basset Hounds in particular, are very devoted creatures to their owners and being transplanted to a new family creates confusion and causes feelings of insecurity, which can lead to the dog to start bad behavior. This often causes stress on the dog and its new family.

Ohio Basset Rescue offers a posting service on our web-site to assist these owners in placing their pet and these listings are an effort to help as many dogs as possible. OBR is not a “dumping ground” for unwanted pets and cannot afford the fiscal and emotional expenses of accepting these animals.

A majority of the hounds that we place are strays, abandoned, or are from Animal Humane Societies. Fostering, Caring, and Placing these hounds are the focus of OBR’s efforts.

Ohio Basset Hound Rescue is not responsible for, not can OBR confirm the temperament/health of the dogs listed as “Owner relinquish” dogs.

All postings remain in our Owner-Relinquish list for approximately 90 days at which point the person listed as the contact is responsible for contacting OBR to continue to have the information listed for another 90 day period if needed.

If you need to relinquish your dog to OBR please contact Cathy Rice at cathy.rice1@att.net
