Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Rosie! Rosie is a beautiful 5-year-old girl who brings the perfect balance of playful energy and comfort-loving sweetness. She enjoys a good romp around the backyard just as much as she loves stretching out on a soft, cozy couch afterward. Whether she’s exploring outside or relaxing indoors, Rosie is happiest when she’s near her people.

Rosie came to Suncoast Basset Rescue after her owner’s health began to decline. When he realized that Rosie’s world had grown smaller and she wasn’t getting the activity and attention she deserved, he made the difficult but loving decision to let her have a fresh start. It was not an easy choice, but it was made entirely with Rosie’s best interests at heart.

Now settling into her foster home, Rosie’s days are already looking brighter. She will be heading to the vet soon for a complete wellness exam, updating any of her medical needs and she will need to be spayed. We can’t wait to watch this sweet girl flourish with the love, space, and joy she so deserves.

Welcome to your second chance, Rosie!
