Most basset hounds needing a foster home have not yet been evaluated as to temperament. If so, please list all animals in the home, including the sex, breed, whether or not they are altered, and how long you have had them.
Many foster bassets come from unknown circumstances.
Even if they are normally well-behaved basset hounds, MOST have a couple accidents in the house during the adjustment period and some also might chew furniture or other items left within reach. This is a very important reality with fostering. If you have just installed new carpet or bought new furniture, there is a possibility that they might be damaged. The goal is not to check for cleanliness or housekeeping, but to make sure that the home is or could be compatible with the lifestyle of a basset hound. The yard is checked to make sure it is securely fenced, the sleeping area for the basset is inspected, and toilet duties for the hound are discussed.
