The Basset Rescue Network of Great Britain #NOBASSETGETSFORGOTTEN  Name: Bertie and Daisy  Sex:  Male and Female  Age: (B) 8 (D) 5 Location: Somerset  Daisy and Bertie are looking for their forever home. You may remember that they joined the BRNGB family after being re-patriated to the UK just before Christmas 2024. Bertie has the whiter face and is 8 years old, Daisy is just nearing 6 years old. This pair are quite bonded and in the early days of being in foster they relied on each other for comfort. Although they do have their sibling spats every now and then and are chalk and cheese in their personalities. They are currently in foster with 2 beagles and 2 cats and...

We thought you'd like an update on young lad Cooper. You'll recall that Cooper has quite significant hip dysplasia which needs therapy until he is fully grown, then a decision can be made whether he requires surgery or not. Cooper has started on YouMove to help support his joints. His walks are kept controlled and relaxed so he doesn't over stress his joints. Cooper has also started, and loves, hydrotherapy. As you can see from the photos, Cooper loves his new Aunty Cathy of Peak District Canine Hydrotherapy, and we think he's decided the hydro is just an excuse to get more cuddles and love! Cooper has had 2 sessions so far and is doing really well with this. It's too early to see a differen...

Please give a big BRNGB Welcome to 4 year old Angus who joined the family this weekend.  Angus is under assessment and is not ready to be adopted, any enquiries regarding Angus will not be answered.  After every one of his transporters falling in love with him, Angus arrived with his foster family yesterday full of excitement.  A total bundle of energy that wanted to be involved in everything.    After making his feeling heard about not being asleep with his foster mum, he got his own way and snuggled down on her bed last night!  Today he's been a lot calmer and more relaxed about events.  He's had a walk, played happily with the resident hound, visite...

As you would have seen, we have a few Bassets who are in need of treatment. To name a few, there's Cooper with his hip dysplasia, Honey who has her dental coming up, Bertie is undergoing tests as he's not been well recently (more to follow on him) and of course there's Frank and Delilah who had Welfare operations earlier in the week.  So it's time for a raffle to raise some much needed funds. This would make a wonderful Easter present, a gift for any dog lover, or yours of course! We've been donated these beautiful, brand new Wrendale items, an across the body walking bag, big enough for phone, keys, an anything else you lug about with you; a poop bag holder; and a treat pouch.&nbs...

After the best part of a week of treatment, care and love Frank and Delilah have really come on in leaps and bounds.  They are both really loving hounds, happy to play with the other resident hounds, happy to cuddle up together and have a nap.  They are still very much bonded, but they are not now as worried to be away from each other.  They like to know where the other is, but they are both happy to trundle off and do their own thing and meet up again when they are ready.  Delilah certainly isn't protecting Frank as much anymore.  Although Frank is a bit of a drama lama when it comes to medication and when he puts on his best walrus impression, Delilah will be ...

Please give a big BRNGB welcome to Logan who joined the BRNGB family a few days ago.  Logan is 4 years old and is showing himself to be a lovely boy.  He does suffer with some skin issues which his previous owner addressed so we will be mindful of this and ensure this doesn't flare up again.  He's a strong lad on lead and is reported to love all other dogs and people.  Logan does have a wish list if you are able to donate.  These items, as always will stay with him through to his forever home. If you would rather donate to his care then the link to do so is below.  We will update on Logan as his journey progresses, but as you can see he's settled in happily...

Please welcome Henry into the BRNGB family. The 13th Hound to join us in 2025. Please do not make any enquiries regarding Henry, he is under assessment and any enquiries will go unanswered. Henry has just turned 3 years old and has some issues which we are going to be working on to iron out. He's incredibly strong on lead; he's people and dog fear reactive; he's not a fan of entire dogs. Noises and traffic also worry him when outside. But he's also a very loving, sweet, cuddly boy. We knew before Henry joined us that he would need a specific foster home. Henry was assessed before joining us so nothing we have learnt about him has come as a shock. In his previous home he was showing signs of ...

Cooper has settled into foster life very well. We'd go as far as to say he has his foster family wrapped around every single one of his paws! He's a stunning lad and just so loving. A little while after he joined the BRNGB family it was noted that he would have a little limp every now and then; this was put down to charging around like a loon and chasing the birds in what he decided was HIS garden! At his initial vet check, he was checked all over, deemed to be a little star and weighed 23.2KG.He was given an anti-inflammatory/pain killer injection and we were advised if no improvement an X-Ray would be needed. The injection seemed to have worked, and Cooper once he had a few days of cuddles...

Honey is a lovely lady, although somewhat of a quandary the last few weeks. The blood in her urine returned. We knew this was a issue for her and that if the antibiotics didn't clear this up then it could be a deep rooted infection or a kidney function issue. We agreed that any other treatment needed to go on hold and investigations into what was causing the blood need to be made. As well as the blood Honey was showing signs of discomfort in her stomach which of course as positive. So we gave the go ahead for blood tests, extensive testing on her urine together with an x-ray/ultrasound. We were given an estimate of £300-£400.00 by the vet. The results of the tests showed that there were...

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....
