Meet Memphis. He is the newest member of the Suncoast Basset Rescue family, and at 8½ years old, this sweet boy is ready for a fresh start. Due to life changes in his previous home and a family member developing allergies, Memphis found himself in need of rescue. Sadly, he has been living primarily outdoors and hasn’t received the consistent care and comfort every basset deserves. At just 35 pounds, Memphis is significantly underweight — his ideal weight is closer to 55 pounds. It’s clear he hasn’t had the support he needed, but that changes now. Memphis will be receiving a full medical evaluation and whatever treatment and nutrition are necessary to help get him into a healthier, more stable place where he can truly enjoy being a beloved companion. For now, we are giving Memphis time to settle into his foster home, decompress, and feel safe. As we complete his medical evaluations and learn more about his specific needs, we will share updates. Please stay tuned — we look forward to providing more information about Memphis in the near future.
