We want you to meet Lucy, our sweet girl.  She didn't come through rescue but we helped her original owners by adopting her ourselves in 1996.  She was the most gentle soul that we ever been honored to have in our home.  After a battle with cancer, we let her go to the Bridge this year - she was almost 14 when Dr. Cronin freed her from pain.

Through Guardian Angel Basset Rescue, we have been fortunate to meet hundreds of sweet Bassets like Lucy - dogs that have made a big difference the lives of their new owners.  And through the volunteers of GABR, we've met some of the greatest and committed people that you can imagine.  In addition to the volunteers, our donors have made it possible to build this incredible organization.

Now it's time for The Illinois Waddle.  We are asking you to donate to us in memory of Lucy as Shirley will walk the 10 blocks of the Waddle route in her place.  Please make a tax-deductible donation to Guardian Angel Basset Rescue to make sure that our organization continues its work. 

This year, we've taken in dogs from people that have lost their homes, people moving into nursing homes, older people dealing with the death of a spouse -- the reasons are always different but the urgency is always there.

Please give what you can as any donation is greatly appreciated.   Remember - we not only rescue dogs, we make a difference in people's lives.

Thank you.
