I know this part of the forum is about pet photography, so I will start this post by saying I planned to use this dog for alot of pet photography.

I have been working at the Tampa Bay SPCA for the past couple months; Saturday they got in a Bassett Hound, 3 years old, brown and white-names Elvis. Oh my gosh, what a Hound Dog. I thought about adopting him that day but waited to give it some thought because he really is a hound dog with the super deep hound dog bark. I work many days away from home and had spoken to a few folks to help with dog sitting so he would have a good home when I was away. Yesterday, I went by to visit and say hello; today I had to go out-of-town so I thought I would wait till Friday to adopt. I thought of calling today to tell my collegues to hold him but I delayed.

Tonight, I checked the website and Elvis is adopted. I am very happy for him and hope he went to a very good home. Elvis has been back to SPCA three times; I feel because he really is a loud hound dog and needs alot of attention and care. If he comes back, I will surely adopt him but I am really hoping he has found his forever home.

PS: I have owned two previous bassetts so I am familiar with their "odor" problems, stubborn streak and deep loud voice; but I still love them so much. I will miss Elvis. "Elvis has left the building"
