Please welcome Bramble who joined the BRNGB family this weekend. She's a beautiful girl, she will be 2 years old in March; she is incredibly confident and isn't backwards in coming forwards! Just look at those stunning ears. Bramble is under assessment, any enquiries made about her will not be answered. As you can see she has a nasty Cherry Eye which we will be arranging treatment for. She needs her nails cut and a health check as well as spaying, which will all...
You may have seen our Facebook post about this beautiful girl. She was found as a stray and has exceeded her statutory holding period at the pound where she was. This means that her owner has not been found; unless rescue space was found she would have gone to the dog warden where her days would have been numbered. We were contacted last night asking if we could take her and we are so pleased to say she was collected today and is now in foster within the BRNGB family...
Please give a big BRNGB welcome to the family to 4 year old Paddy who joined us yesterday. Paddy is under assessment so please do not make enquiries regarding his adoption at this time. He's described as a relaxed, loving, affectionate hound. He's lived with small children and cats and loves to socialise with dogs when out walking. He arrived in foster yesterday and has already instigated a game of bitey face with the resident hound and is proving his original family righ...
As Hound owners (or Hound slaves) one of the hardest, most heart breaking decisions you will ever have to make is saying goodbye. People deal with grief in different ways, there is no right or wrong way to cope with the loss of a much loved family member, be them on two legs or four. All of us girls who run the rescue have experienced not only our own personal losses, but the losses of Hounds in our care, most recenlty Jo and her adopted Hound Cleo. Cleo had been diagnose...

Please welcome Meg to the BRNGB who arrived today. She's a lovely 4 year old girl who is proving to be a bit of a flight risk, we believe due to nerves. She has met her foster siblings, both human and hound and eaten her dinner so nerves are subsiding. She didn't come with an awful lot so she does need some belongings of her own. We've included a wish list below if you are able to donate anything that would be amazing. As always anything that is donated will stay with Meg...
Please welcome Sally to the BRNGB family. We believe Sally to be 2 years old. She had been with her surrendering family for about a week after being dropped off by her previous owner. We believe she didn't have a name or any belongings when she was delivered to the family, and although Sally has done nothing wrong, she wasn't the dog the family were expecting, so they contacted us to surrender her. She has been staying with different family members for the last week, so she's a...

Who remembers Sassy Sissy who joined our family recently as one of the triplets? Sissy is only 4 years old and has been a breeding machine sadly. She's a lovely happy, cheeky, full of sass girl, but we really do need to help her with her *ahem* boobs! Due to over breeding, as you can see below her under-carriage is dragging the floor. They are getting sore, dirty and generally in the way of Sissy when she's trying to just enjoy life as a basset instead of a mac...
Please give your usual big BRNGB family wlecome to Aida who joined the family today. Aida is a lovely 5 year old girl who has made herself happily at home in foster already.

Such upsetting and frustrating news. Sadly, after waiting nearly a month for her meet and greet, which the date kept getting changed to accommodate Daisy's prospective adopter, they have now decided to withdraw their application without meeting her. That means poor Daisy is back looking for her forever home, and we are really hopeful that we can find it before Christmas. Please please do share Daisy's blog the link is below. How could someone not want this playful, cuddly, loving...

Yoshi is just under 3 years old and by all accounts a nervous boy. He lived with another dog and is in foster with a resident basset who is already showing him the ropes.

SHERLOCK!

.....Hound B? Hound B's real name is Humphrey, but at the time of his care he used the pseudonym of Hound B. He started his journy in the BRNGB family way back in 2018. Here's his story:- He's a gorgeous, loveable 4 and a half year old Tri colour, found roaming and emaciated. He has no behavioural issues, only his legs. He lives to play and run about but unfortunately his legs cannot take it and he soon becomes unsound. He will possibly require surgery to help him li...

All hounds will be placed into foster homes that fit their needs. Needs to be an only hound, no problem. Needs to be with a resident playful hound, no problem. Needs a home w...
