Meet Frank and Delilah Please note that the photos and story of these two hounds are heartbreaking, but needs to be told. This is a case of pure neglect and these hounds are in serious need of care and medical attention. Frank is 8 years old and Delilah is a couple of years younger at 6 years old. We were contacted by a Basset lover and asked if we could help these two hounds. They had adopted them from a "rescue" where we believe the hounds had been since January. It is clear that no medical treatment had been sought for these hounds, either by the previous owner who left them at the "rescue" or the "rescue" themselves. From what we have seen this is not a rescue and not a registered charit...

Dolly and Dougal joined the BRNGB family recently.  Dolly is 11 and Dougal is 8 years old.  They are very much a bonded pair and take comfort with each other being close.  They are under assessment so please no enquiries regarding their adoption.  Enquiries of any form will not be responded to.  They are a very loving, active pair.  They've spent a few days in temp foster as they had to come to use quickly.  They are now with their permanent foster, and they are loving the play in the garden with the resident hound.  They do need a few bits and pieces, so if you are able to donate to their wish list we would be grateful.  They both require grain f...

 Please give a big BRNGB welcome to Larry who is just nearing his 5th birthday. Larry is under assessment and we will not be responding to any enquiries about his adoption. Larry sadly joined the family yesterday; his mum has been poorly and with that in mind she knew she couldn't continue to look after Larry. He's taking his time settling in, which is understandable, it's all very new.  His BRNGB Hound foster sister is dying to get him playing but he's happy just exploring at the moment.  He loves to think he's a lap dog and is demanding a lot of belly rubs and cuddles which of course his foster parents are more than happy to assist with. He spent his first night in the ...

Please welcome 4 year old Gaston to the BRNGB family. Gaston is under assessment and is not ready to be adopted so please now enquiries, however polite, nice and sweet they are, they will not be answered.  We were contacted by one of our transport volunteers recently who knows Gaston's family who has been helping them with coming to terms with the very difficult and heart-breaking decision to surrender this lovely boy.  They've tried so hard to keep him but some dynamics with another resident dog just wouldn't work.  Between Gaston and the other dog they knew that, with the other dog's issues it would Gaston that would be surrendered and they would continue to work h...

Evelyn Walker, 1940-2023.  Evelyn spent her life in and around Workington, Cumbria.  She was married, had two human children, and many furry ones!  Like many, she could be stubborn and didn't need to say a word to let anyone know she wasn't happy or disagreed with them – a look (glower) made her feelings clear. Fiercely independent, although she was only 5 ft tall, she had at least 6 ft of character!  Evelyn's Basset Hound Journey started in 1970, when the family purchased Fred. Her son, then aged 7, loved the Fred Basset cartoons and Fred was bought as a surprise, after a long hospitalisation. From then until suffering a stroke in 2018, Evelyn was never without a basset....

Sorry for our lack of updates on Bertie and Daisy. They both had their vet check just before Christmas. Bertie was suffering badly from a very nasty ear infection. He was initially started off with some drops and also steroids. It was very painful for him and he wasn't a fan of his ears being touched. Bertie also has some teeth that needs to be looked at. Shortly after Bertie started his medication he became very poorly with suspected bloat .A phone call with the vet and they were on standby to get Bertie into the vets. His wonderful foster family got him into the vets to be checked over. Thankfully the vet deemed there was no bloat, his stomach and heart were fine and all they could pin poi...

You may recall young Barney joined us as an emergency at the end of January.   Because of the nature of his surrender things moved very quickly and Barney spent the last 2 weeks in emergency foster whilst we could place him with a permanent foster.  Those first 2 weeks have been a huge insight into Barney.  It was a difficult road for his foster family who we are incredibly grateful to for their assistance with this young lad.  We know some of Barney's background; we do believe that events from his past have led to fear behaviours arising in certain situations.  Those two weeks gave us an insight into Barney's triggers and have enabled us to ...

Camp Basset is back for 2025! Oh yes a weekend of fun, frolics, camping, partying, hounds, BBQ, walks, games and general houndy shenanigans Camp Basset didn't happen in 2024 so we are really looking forward to seeing you all in 2025.  It's a very social weekend; if you'd rather just come to the fun day we'd love to see you.  To camp, you need to have your own tent, caravan or camper.  There is a BBQ on Saturday but the rest of your meals are up to you!  There's always an evening chat to have over a tipple or two  For the fun day you, get to enjoy the spirit of the camp for the day which is the main event with the BBQ, games for the hounds and walks.

We have been quite quiet about Olive since she joined us as the first Hound of 2025. Olive is still under assessment so any enquiries regarding adopting her, however cute, polite and begging will not be answered. We know you all love our Hounds, but we will not be answering questions about Hounds under assessment. Once they are ready to be blogged and adopted, you will be the first to know To say she is a high energy, cheeky, attention seeking diva wouldn't be wrong of us. Her vet check went very well and she was a lovely weight of 15.2KG.A perfect bill of health was given. She has settled into her foster home as if she's always been there. She loves her walks, found the beach very exciting ...

As you can see Norman has made himself right at home with his foster family and their pack . Now we're not saying his spoilt but when the team get sent the photo above on his first morning, we just know he's going to be fine and dandy!   Norman has had his vet check and they are happy with him.  He's a nice weight of 30.6KG and apart from his neutering he's in good health.  He had his surgery today and is at home recovering under the watchful eye of BRNGB Haggis.  I think Haggis is more judgey of the events of today than Norman!   One of our wonderful supporters, Lin, contacted us this morning and asked whether she could put a post up asking for our su...

Poor Cluseau has been through it the last couple of weeks.   Yes the poor boy has had his boy operation.  This was very distressing for his foster family as he couldn't eat in the morning.  He was snuffling around the kitchen crying for his food.  Obviously not being able to see he relies on his snooter and it just couldn't find a morsel to eat   Apart from his surgery, he's been doing really well.  Still has a huge bond with Lenny who he enjoys cuddling up to.  Even BRNGB Nelson has warmed to his ways.   His skin is massively better, his sore bits are no longer sore and he's put on a nice amount of weight which was needed.  On...

Please give a big BRNGB welcome to Bernard, the 6th hound to join the family last weekend.  Bernard is under assessment so please do not enquire about adopting him.  However polite and sweet your application, email or comment is, we will not be responding.  Bernard needs to be fully assessed before we can give full details about what his needs are.  Bernard is 364 days old.  Yes it's his FIRST BIRTHDAY tomorrow!   Bernard is a very polite, happy albeit very bouncy, pulls like a steam train puppy who has settled into foster care really well.  Bernard loves his crate and being so young it's good for him to have some calm time and a nap away from the othe...

Please welcome 13 month old Barney who joined the family this week end.  Please note Barney is under assessment, any applications for him will go unanswered and will have to be re-submitted once he is fully assessed and ready to be adopted.  Barney is the fifth Hound to join us this month and is showing himself to be a lovely boy.  We were contacted by a third party to help Barney urgently, we had a transporter and foster near by who were able to go and collect this lovely boy.  He's proving to be very playful, happy to be with other hounds and enjoy snuggles.  Barney will be having a full vet check and a full assessment.  We will of course keep you up...

Please give a big BRNGB welcome to 6 year old Norman who joined the BRNGB family yesterday.  Norman is under assessment so please do not apply to adopt him, any Applications will be ignored and will have to be re-submitted when he is ready to be adopted.  Norman's had quite the journey to foster,  arriving in Edinburgh yesterday afternoon to spend the night with our own Dawn and her Pack before continuing onto his foster today.  All of our transport volunteers said what a wonderful, well mannered and behaved boy he was.  A real joy to be around and a true testament to his owners who clearly loved him dearly.  Norman enjoyed being with the pack, he particula...
