Please help me raise funds for an organization close to my heart. Guardian Angel Basset rescue is the largest single breed rescue in the Midwest. Guardian Angel rescues, provides full veterinary care, fosters and hand selects a home for over 300 dogs each year. GABR is more than a dog rescue as we have helped over 50 non-profits learn how to fundraise, run auctions and profit through partnership in our annual Corvette Raffle.

As all you know, I am deeply committed to saving animals. But near and dear to my heart are these funny looking, clown-like creatures called Basset Hounds. You also know that I was a foser failure when Elvis came to my house 7 years ago. Bless his heart he is still will me and is still the clown he always was. Just last year I expanded the Basset pack by obtaining Lola. I now have Elvis, Sophie and Lola as well as Paige and Teddy Bear. Paige and Teddy Bear are not Bassets, but they put up with them very nicely. I am currently fostering Pebbles who was an owner surrender. She came to GABR with both eyes needing to have what they call "Cherry Eye" in both eyes. The first thing GABR did was to have the surgery performed  to remove the cherry eye from both eyes. As you can see from the picture, she is a beauty and looking for a forever home.

On September 20, 2009, Guardian Angel Basset Rescue is holding their 12th Annual Waddle. The Illinois Waddle is a weekend long celebration of the breed attended annually by over 1,000 bassets and their families. It is Guardian Angel’s primary source of funding. I raise money for the rescue of Bassets because a Basset Hound has touched my life. They are truly wonderful, loving dogs that complete our family. I support Guardian Angel through the Basset Waddle as GABR is comprised of hardworking, exceptional and committed volunteers who are dedicated to helping Bassets in need. It’s the kind of group I want to support – that’s why I WADDLE!!

I count on the support of fellow dog lovers, our families, friends and business associates to provide healthy, happy lives for every dog that we rescue.
