Bloodhound West, Inc.
Is an ABC bloodhound rescue group.
Why is there a breed rescue?
There are as many reasons why a Bloodhound ends up in a breed rescue situation as there are rescue Bloodhounds. Generally, people will see that very obviously cute puppy and have no idea how large that dog is going to get. They have no idea of the slobber they can spew and how active they really can be. Sometimes the owner just decides he doesn't want a dog anymore. Sometimes the owner's situation changes making it necessary to turn the dog into rescue. Many Bloodhounds turn up in shelters as strays because of inadequate fencing, ignorance on the part of the owner as to how important that scent is to the dog and they let them out the front door for a run. Most often the dog is in a rescue situation through no fault of his own.
For these reasons there are volunteers out there who have chosen, because they love the breed, to rescue these dogs and find responsible homes for them. This is a heartbreaking task, but the satisfaction that comes from rescuing and adopting a Bloodhound in need is like no other.

If you've decided a Bloodhound is the right breed for you, consider adopting a rescue. Please feel free to contact the breed rescue organization in your area for information on how to adopt a rescue Bloodhound.

These are the following bloodhounds who are needing a home.

These young kids are sweet -- less than two years of age, some less then a year:
black and tan female (2); red females (2)

All were pulled by Bloodhound West from a high kill shelter.
Here are the three black and tan young girls.

The first one with the tan collar: Lizzie - she weighs #55 pounds, is less than 9 months of age;
a black and tan purebred female. She is good with other dogs, children, etc. She is up to date on her shots, is spayed, healthy, sweet and your typical young bloodhound girl. She is best of buddies with Annie below. These two really need to be placed together.
Bloodhounds are like potato chips, you can't have just one.


The second one with orange/pink collar: Annie. Annie is 55 pounds and is still growing into her skin. She has a cherry eye, which is common in this breed, but it will be repaired before adoption and be just fine in the future. Annie plays well with other dogs. She really wants to stay with Lizzie her sister. So, if you could find it in your heart, your yard is fenced in, these two would love to be your new kids.

Here are the two red females below. The first one is Diana. She is less than 2 years old, still a baby herself and has already had a litter of puppies. She is up to date on her shots, sweet, spayed, microchipped, etc.
She is just wanting a family to call her own for Christmas.

This is the other red girl with the orange collar is Victoria. Victoria is also believed to be less than 2 years of age. She is a nice red girl, possible a good Search and Rescue dog. She too was dumped in a high kill shelter in the LA area. She is up to date on her shots, spayed, micro-chipped, gets along good with other dogs, children, etc. The patch on her shoulder will be checked out, but it is believed to be a vaccine reaction.

To apply to adopt any of these bloodhounds -- you need to start first by making sure you have done your homework by making sure the bloodhound is the right breed of dog for you.

These are not dogs for everyone. As you can see they are very large dogs. They need a fenced in yard. They do DROOL, so a drool rag needs to be handy. They need exercise as a tired puppy is a good puppy. There are health considerations. http://trullingers.com/resources.html
