Please welcome Betsy
Betsy has just turned 5 years old. She arrived in the BRNGB family yesterday.
She has a devastating story; Betsy lived with her owner and a Pointer sibling both of whom she was very attached to and adored.
Betsy was heartbreakingly found at home with her deceased owner; we don't know how long she was in this terrifying situation and our condolences go to Betsy's family.
The Pointer has been taken into a breed specific rescue prior to our knowledge of Betsy; Betsy spent the last few days with a basset savvy friend who has since surrendered her to us with the family's blessing.
Understandably Betsy is very shut down and traumatised by events and misses her human and pointer brother deeply.
She is in foster with another basset and she will be given time to grieve, decompress and show us who she is.
So far, putting the nervousness and sadness aside, she is showing very positive traits. She's managed a little tail wag and just loves being groomed.
We will take it very slowly with this girl, she needs to know she is safe and all of her physical needs will be met whilst she mentally heals.
We have included a little wish list for her so she has her own belongings to settle in with. If you are able to donate please do, we are always very grateful. If the list is empty than at least these wishes have been granted.
If you would rather donate to Betsy's care whilst she is with us, the link is also below.
Massive thank you to her foster family for taking Betsy in, we are hopeful in time her confidence will grow with your love and care.
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
