WE ARE SORRY. YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO FOSTER OR ADOPT FROM AAROOOO!!

Thank you for considering adopting or fostering a basset from AaRoooo!! Since you have children under 9 years of age living in the home or that will have regular contact with the baaset hound, you are not eligible to foster or adopt from AaRoooo!! The basset hounds that come to AaRoooo!! unfortunattly all have had a difficult past. Some have been abused, some neglected and some arrive with a variety of untreated diseases. We are unwilling to take the risks associated with adoptions to homes and families with children under 9 years of age. We hope you understand why AaRooo!! has established this ridgid and non-negotiable policy.

If AaRoooo!! can help you in another way, please contact us by email, infor@aaroooo.org or by using the Contact Form on our website.
