Hank has been a testing foster hound. Thankfully he was placed with a couple who had previously experience and accepted his ways, working with him and reading his signals.
He’s gone from an, at times grumpy lad, who would grumble and air snap if you disturbed him, if he thought you were going to disturb him, or if the mood generaly took him!
His foster family have worked so very hard with him, and we will be forever grateful that they accepted Hank as he was, helped him to trust, reassured him when needed, left him be when he gave the signals and just loved him. He’s come on so well, he even visited the local pub recently where he greeted everyone as a typical basset….you have treats? I like you.
We are so very pleased to announce that Hank will not be leaving the family who has worked with him to ensure all of his needs were met and they have formally adopted this wonderful boy.
Congratulations Hank, keep up the good work.
Thank you to everyone who has helped Hank get to where he is now, his supporters, donators, volunteers and the biggest thank you to his now forever family for not giving up on him!

Lovely lad Hank joined the BRNGB family in the last couple of weeks.
Hank is under assessment and is not ready to be adopted, any applications for him will go unanswered.
Hank is 8 years old and had lived with his original family since a puppy along with their cat and in later years a small child.
Hank does have some resource tendencies when it comes to food and his own personal space (sounds like a hound after my own heart!)
He has been suffering with some leg pain but enjoys his walks……with a lot of sniffs.
After a couple of rocky first days Hank is settling into foster life well. He needed to trust his foster family and boundaries needed to be agreed between all. He happily plays with his toys, loves a belly rub and is enjoying his food.
Hank has had his vet check. Although he was anxious and needed to be muzzled, his joints were checked which found one of his front legs to be a bit “creaky”; he does have an ear infection so we are waiting for the swabs to come back to show what medication is needed; the dreaded annal glands were also expressed.
All in all he’s a wonderful lad, with understanding of his space needs and waiting for him to come to you he’s going to be just fine.
