Our Birthday Celebration!
Rosco Thanks You!
After having 10 more infected teeth extracted, Rosco is feeling much better and his
personality is starting to shine. His xray showed his broken jaw had healed and the space where the fracture was has filled with bone. Rosco has a lot to say about all he's been through and wants to give a howl out to all of his supports for all your positive thoughts and prayers.
Maxwell Says Hi!
A little over a year ago Maxwell was unable to use his back legs. Now after a year of thearphy and a lot of love and encouragement, he has not only gained
the use of his legs, but happily interacts and enjoys the companionship of the other BAGS hounds. This sweet boy had all odds against him, but with love and your support he has shown his "Superman Strength" and has come out on top! He wanted to say "Hi" to his fans! We love you Maxwell!
Welcome to BAGS!
Beautiful Aging Gracefully Seniors (BAGS) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt charitable organization dedicated to the care of senior and special needs basset hounds. Since 2000, Maribeth has provided both a temporary and/or permanent home for a number of different hounds in their various stages of life. 
My Trip to BAGS...
I took a day off work to visit my great friend Maribeth Walker and the BAGS hounds. Words can never describe the joy I felt seeing 21 adorable hounds charging to meet me upon my arrival. Many of these dogs I helped transport, pulled from shelters or teared up over when I heard their heart breaking story.
When you think of a sanctuary, often you think of place where it’s the last resort for unwanted pets with no other choice. Nothing could be further from the truth at BAGS. The best way to describe it is to imagine 21 children all talking over one another telling you about their favorite activities, showing you their cool squeaky toys, their tough guy wrestling moves, and their awesome play yard.
