If you've lost a Bassett Hound, here may be a lead

This just in. It's just a lead. But thanks to Carol Smith, we can post this much. Sorry we couldn't give more information, but there's more red tape to deal with than we might have time or patience to endure if the proper name of the new location to which Carol Smith is taking the Bassett Hound involved were posted:
Bassett Hound found at the bottom of Dug Hill and Melson Ridge Road.This dog is in really good shape and is a very friendly dog. I can not keep this dog, for I have another stray at my house now. This dog will be taken to the animal shelter, if you have lost this dog or would like a nice family pet I hope you will consider this animal. - Carol Smith
