THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME...........

                           ABC BASSET WADDLE 2009

This is the first year I have had the opportunity to participate in this important event. Everytime someone kindly alerts me to one of "mine" in a shelter I immediately pass the information on to ABC. The Waddle is ABC's main fundraiser of the year and without events such as this they could not help the Bassets who need them. ABC hs rescued over 500 Bassets since 2001. Each dog recieves Veterinary care and is spayed or neutered before placement in their forever homes. This costs $$$- ABC spent nearly $30,000 on Veterinary fee's in 2008 alone.
