Fly high Humphrey, AKA Hound B
We have incredibly sad news regarding Humphrey AKA Hound B. We have been asked by his family to share the news with you, as they know Humphrey touched so many of you.
Early May 2018 a four year old Hound was found, emaciated, lost, wondering a field and no one was looking for him. He was named Slinky and we were contacted to take him into our family.
Renamed Humphrey upon arrival it became obvious he needed surgery on his front leg. He had issues with his Ulna. He underwent the required surgery in June 2018 with raffles, coffee for bassets and sponsored walks all in his name to raise the funds.
After a lot of care and rehabilitation by his amazing foster family, Humphrey went to his forever home on the 16th September 2018.
He celebrated birthdays, Christmas, had amazing holidays, was totally spoilt and was loved, so very very loved.
His family would often post updates on this very special boy and kept in contact with us with little updates.
Sadly Humphrey was diagnosed in April with Lymphoma. His wonderful family shared with us today, the devastating news that Humphrey crossed the bridge on Saturday 10th May 2025, in his garden, in the sunshine, surrounded by his family.
Humphrey had an amazing 7 years as part of the BRNGB family; more importantly he had the most wonderful, loving forever family for most of those 7 years.
We are so grateful to Humphrey's foster family, all of his supporters in those early days, but mostly to his family who are devastated by his loss.
Humphrey, Hound B, our special boy, fly high and know you were so very loved.
About the author
They never ever leave a Basset behind always do everything in their power to get the hounds to the right fosters and forever homes in a word they are "AMAZING".
Great work, no hound gets left behind. A true sentiment that is the embodiment of what this organisation is about. Great work team.
They do a good job of saving these hounds and finding special homes for life. They also work hard to raise money to pay for any vet bills.
They do outstanding work with the hounds & always put them first, They match hounds with their perfect parents & when they need vet treatment they get it done, these people are Amazing, could not recommend them enough
Thank you for sending my recent purchases from your shop. Very efficient and wonderful quality merchandise, particularly the canvas/hessian bags and the t-shirts
We have the privilege of adopting Dylan. The whole process was seamless and very reassuring that they cover all bases, both in relation to vetting us and also in the assessment of the hound
