Happy GOTCHA-versary: 1 year Angus and Noodle Adoption

Basset Rescue of Puget Sound (BROPS) is celebrating the one-year Gotcha Day for Noodle and Angus who came to us last spring, and spent 12 weeks with their foster fam before finding their new home. We get regular updates on the “Princess and her Protector” and they are thriving.

It’s always a joy to embrace the good people in this world who love and care for these rescue babies and give them a second chance.

The Princess and her Protector: a royal pairing of snuggles and strength

Six-year-old pair of bonded Basset Hounds! From the moment you meet Noodle her soft brown eyes will melt your heart and before you realize it, this cuddly princess will be on your lap nosing your pocket for treats. Gentle, easy to handle and with a maternal nature, Noodle loves touching! A petite 40-ish pounds, she will need a new Houdini-proof harness for walks. Cats, chickens and bunnies are a definite NO, and once on a scent she can wriggle out of her restraints.

Handsome tri-color Angus is a stately 60 pounds of muscle. Reserved and watchful, he is Noodle’s bodyguard and places himself in front of her when they nap. With a steady awareness of his surroundings, Angus does best in a calm environment.

Both are house-trained. Raised with a dog door, which their foster family does not have, they go out every four hours during the day, or will go to the door and ask to be let out. With limit water after dinner, they sleep through the night before potty time in the morning.

Minor food aggression with Angus. Keep kibble behind a closed door or otherwise secured. Fed together but in separate slow-feeder bowls. Once Angus warms up — and he is so worth the effort of getting to know— he’s a loyal and loving boy keen for your attention… and a few snacks on the sly while his Princess is sleeping.
