Tell us about your foster basset: So far Stanley has been a joy to have. Loves to cuddle, can use a doggy door, is fine riding in a car, does not like the crate much except to eat his food then its “Let me out.” He was very good at the vet’s office and liked getting a bath. Stan is a good boy. Very seldom barks and likes to be with someone all the time, human or beast, he doesn’t care. He will make that forever home complete. This is an update after 10 days of being here.
