Please welcome Alfie
Please give a big BRNGB welcome to Alfie.
We were contacted this afternoon by a dog warden who had been contacted by the police after finding Alfie in his home with his owner who had sadly passed away.
The warden asked if we were able to collect Alfie rather than him to go to kennels as the owners family were unable to take him. We of course were willing to assist and within a couple of hours one of our fabulous transport angels was on route to meet the police at the house and collect Alfie. The collection had been arranged with the blessing of Alfie's owner's family.
We don't know how long Alfie had been on his own, the Police had been going in and feeding him and also a neighbour had been going into him. We understand that when Alfie and his owner were found he was very protective of her and guarded her against the police. Our transporter has reported that he is a very loving hound and seems to be very happy to have human company, we hope his nature continues in this manner as we're sure he's been very stressed over the last few days.
He's literally arrived in foster in the last few minutes and is very scared and nervous which is totally understandable. He will be given time to relax and decompress.
We have also managed to make contact with a friend of his owner who has managed to fill in some blanks for us.
We belive he's between 10 and 12 years old. Once he has been to the vets we will know more.
Alfie will be assessed and have any treatment he needs.
Alfie has no belongings with him so we have a wish list below, we have also included a link if you would like to donate to Alfie's care as well as a link to this months fundraiser which will help towards Alfie's care.
**Alfie's wish list has been completed in record time - thank you so much - if you wanted to donate the link is below where you can donate towards his treatment and care instead
Our condolences go out to Alfie's extended family and our thanks to his transport team and his foster who Alfie will be with this evening.

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
