Please welcome Lily and Winter back into the BRNGB family.
Some of you may remember these beautiful girls. Lily (Lace ear) joined the family originally back in the summer of 2020, and Winter back in the summer of 2024
Both were adopted by the lovely Jan and Graham.
Sadly Jan lost her incredibly brave battle to illness early this year. Devastatingly Graham also passed away after a short illness very recently Both were huge parts of BRNGB, transporting, fostering and adopting these two beautiful girls.
Under the BRNGB adoption back up, we were contacted by Jan and Graham’s family and asked to take the girls back, in the hope that Graham would make a full recovery, sadly this was not the case.
Lily is now 6 years old and Winter is just shy of 2 years old. Both girls are very much bonded to each other and we knew they could not be split.
The girls have been back with us since the beginning of September.
They’ve had their vet check. Finally, we have been waiting for this since Winter originally joined the family, she has come into season. She was adopted by Graham and Jan under a neuter agreement and we’ve been waiting all this time! She will be spayed as soon as she can be (at least another 12 weeks). She also sadly has an ear infection which she has treatment for.
We always knew Winter may have an issue with her eyes, again Graham and Jan were waiting for her to be fully grown before a decision was made as to whether any surgery was required, under the suggestion of vets.
Lily on the other hand is perfect and is bouncing around happily.
Both girls have come back to BRNGB with open arms and they have really settled in quickly. We know Graham and Jan will be looking down on them and know that they are loved and happy.
Neither girls need a wish list, their naughty foster mum got them some new beds and bowls. However if you could donate a little to their care and Winter’s upcoming surgery we would be grateful. The link to do so is below
Thank you everyone for your continued support for not only these girls but all the Hounds in our care.
Thank you to Lily and Winter’s transport team, emergency foster and foster family – we hope this post brings some comfort to Jan and Graham’s family.
