Over the 11 years Guardian Angel Basset Rescue has been in existence,  over 3500 bassets have been made healthy, and loved, fostered, transported, and finally placed in their "Forever Homes".  Most of these bassets would have died or been abandoned if GABR had not been there to save them. How do they accomplish this?  With the dedication of volunteers and friends like you that help.  It really is a labor of love.

 Jerry and I are very proud to be part of such a great organization.  Even our dogs get in on the action.  Their job is to play with and train these foster dogs that pass through our home.  (It's a tough job but someone has to do it!!!) 

On September 21st, we're walking in the 2008 Illinois Waddle. This event is held every year in Dwight, Illinois as a benefit for the Guardian Angel Basset Rescue, Inc. Each year, GABR rescues and places over 250 Basset Hounds in the Indiana and Illinois area. As you can imagine, their vet bills are very large, averaging over $10,000 per month. GABR needs your support.

 Will you please sponsor us in the Illinois Waddle? Our bassets, Samantha, Gabby, Manfred and Wegi are in training now!  You simply click on the "Sponsor Me Now" link to donate. Enter your credit card number on the secure page and you're done!  If you prefer sending your donation by mail, please make your check out to GABR and mail to Jerry/Sharon Andrews, 2066 W. Macon St.., Decatur, IL. 62522.  And PLEASE forward this on to others that may be interested in helping the bassets.  Any amount is appreciated and it all goes to the bassets.
