Cooper, one of our longest fosters, only a baby (just turned 2) and underwent the best part of a year of hydrotherapy to save his joints and legs so he can live a full and pain free life. After so long with his foster family, so much care and time, they just couldn't let him go! Congratulations Cooper! If it wasn't for your donations, Cooper wouldn't have had all the treatment he required to save his joints and limbs, and hopefully save him from amputation or worse. We know he may need further...

We are so pleased to announce that Ethel, who started her journey with BRNGB at the grand age of 12 weeks old and named Bonnie, has been adopted by her foster family! Obviously Ethel is too young to be spayed at this time so she has been adopted under a neutering agreement. Ethel's family previously adopted one of Millie's puppies from us under a similar agreement and they have been a foster family for many years so she really couldn't be in a better place.

Name: Meg Age: 4 years Sex: Female Location: Wiltshire Meg was one of the hounds let down by two different applicants recently.

Name: Belle Age: 6 years Sex: Female Location: Yorkshire Updated 16th April 2024 Well, Belle has proved to be a wonderful girl.

Name: Dolly Age: 13 Sex: Female Location: Scotland UPDATE 20th April 2024 What can we say about Dolly? She's absolutely loving life up in Scotland. She has regular visits to the beach, goes out and about everywhere with her foster family.

Name: Sissy Age: 4 years Sex: Female Location: Kent UPDATE 20th April Beautiful Sassy Sissy.

Even the local kids celebrate her in their...
Name: Sherman Age: 10 years Sex: Male Location: West Lothian June 2024 Sherman is still going from strength to strength, although he did lose some weight after being neutered, he has managed to put that back on and hit 26.8KG when he went to the vet for his final check up and sign off following his surgery and teeth removal. Sherman does show signs of food aggresion around the other hounds so he is fed on his own, bowls up and then they can all be back together again. There are also signs of...
Name: Brenwyn Age: 18 months Sex: Female Location: Leicestershire Update June 2024 Brenwyn is a superstar! Her stomach issues have really calmed down, her diet is still restricted but is completly manageable and she is thriving on her food, her weight is perfect, her coat shines and her eyes have a wonderful (maybe slightly naughty) glint in them!

Name: Sally Age: 2 years Sex: Female Location: West Wales July 2024 So Sally was ready to find her forever home. As you'll remember she was in foster with Sherlock and they formed a tight bond.

Name: Lola Age: 10 Sex: Female Location: Essex July 2024 We are so pleased to announce that Lola has found her forever home. When Lola joined BRNGB her transporters had an awful journey, roadworks, road closures, traffic, they were on the road to get to Lola and then to take Lola to her foster home for around 10 hours; a journey which should have been around 4-5 hours! During the time they had Lola in the car (don't worry she wasn't there for the whole 10 hours!) they fell for Lola big time,...

Name: Tilly Age: 2 years Sex: Feale Location: Lancashire 4th August 2024 Tilly who arrived with Alfie has done so well in foster. She has been spayed without any complications. Tilly was suffering badly with an ear infection, with a round of treatment at the vets this has now cleared up and she's been given the all clear. She has also needed some dental work, which caused some disproval on Tilly's part. I mean who on earth decided that a basset doesn't have breakfast the morning of going to...
Name: Betsy Age: 5 Sex: Female Location: Somerset 7th August 2024 The lovely Betsy has really come out of her shell and formed a close bond with her foster hound brother (who is also a BRNGB Hound).

Name: Nelson Age: 5 years Sex: Male Location: Surrey 26th August 2024 Nelson has been the perfect foster boy for the last 6 weeks.

A very well mannered and healthy boy. All he's needed whilst in our care was his vaccinations. He loves everyone and everything he meets. Walks incredibly well, loves to greet...
Name: Bertie Age: 3 Sex: Male Location: Derbyshire 28th August 2024 Since Bertie's last update he's been doing really well. His tabbard, and "Need Space" lead are doing their job and people are being really respectful about giving Bertie the space he needs. They will stop at a distance and let him say hello and then move on when he's ready. It's also giving people the opportunity to ask about him and why he needs space which is amazing. He's comfortable and all the wonderful people that stop...

Name: Ethel Age: 9 years Sex: Female Location: Surrey 30th August 2024 Ethel's further urine test has come back quite positive. The concentration has gone down, it's still not perfect but levels are going in the right way. Ph levels still need to come down a little bit too; the best result however is that there were no crystals or blood to be seen so the special diet is doing what it's supposed to do. Another urine test in a month and maybe one after another 3 months then it can be decided...
Name: Millie Age: 5 or 6 Sex: Female Location: Cornwall 12th September 2024 The lovely Millie, such a sad girl when she arrived back in May.

Name: Marco Age: 6 years Sex: Male Location: Cheshire 22nd September 2024 Sadly Marco's cherry eye surgery wasn't 100% sucessful so he needed to have a further little operation, which we are so pleased to say was a success and all is now well with his eyes. The vet was amazing and we weren't charged for the second surgery, only the drugs needed. We recently got this message from his foster family; they've fostered several times for us, adopting Dolly; sadly being with Gadget when he crossed...
Name: Toby Age: 1 year (15 months) Sex: Male Location: Cornwall 11th November 2024 We are so pleased to announce that Toby has found his forever home.

We...
Name: Becky Age: 12 years Sex: Female Location: Suffolk What can we say about Becky? Since joining her foster family she has settled amazingly, she is more settled, so much so we believe that all previous thoughts of dementia have been cancelled out and we believe that her first few weeks with us she was deep in grief. The cloud of grief has left Becky and her confidence and love of her foster family has shone through. Not only has her foster family healed Becky but she has helped them in...

Name: Winter Age: 6 months Sex: Female Location: Lancashire 11th November 2024 Winter joined the BRNGB family at 6 months old in July when the resident dog was getting more and more upset about her being in the home. She settled well into foster life with a pack of bassets.

Name: Winston Age: 4 months Sex: Male Location: Lancashire 11th November 2024 Well the lttle potato is growing rapidly! His last weigh in he was 16.8KG. Thankfully his tail is still intact which we are all so very pleased about. It will need monitoring but the vet is happy that no further intervention is required at this time. It could be that as his tail is forever wagging so he just hurt the old break a litte. He's growing in confidence, plays well with his spaniel brother. Loves exploring...
Name: Hector Age: 9 years Sex: Male Location: Fife 11th November 2024 Well nearly a year since Hector re-joined the BRNGB family we are so pleased to announce his adoption.

Name: Florence Age: 10 Sex: Female Location: Surrey 15th November 2024 Well it's been a massive long road for Florence to get spayed since joining us back in February. As you'll see below she had a few complications to overcome before it could happen, then of course the dates wouldn't line up with her seasons. Finally Florence was spayed, however she suffered from an infection which then needed quite a course of antibiotics to clear up. We are grateful for her foster family for being so aware...
Name: Biscuit Age: 10 years Sex: Male Location: Essex 23rd November 2024 Well Biscuit stole your hearts with his many trips to the vets, his surgery, waiting for the test results and just being, well Biscuit.

Biscuit will always be on medication to help...
Name: Derek Age: 7 years Sex: Male Location: Cheshire 24th November 2024 Well Derek has been such a good boy with his foster family and their pack. He's slotted right in as if he's always been there. Derek has had to have some treatment on his ears; this was noticed by his foster family quickly and with strict management this has improved, however we fear, as with a lot of bassets this could be an long term issue. He also had some investigations into a long scar on his tummy; his vet records...
