Rainbow Bridge Memorial

Below are some of the hounds that came into our care and have since gained their wings and crossed over The Rainbow Bridge.

#nobassetgetsforgotten

Bob

This is Bob, he was given away on the free ads aged 11. We quickly discovered he had an inoperable brain tumour and was too poorly to be rehomed. Bob lived with his foster family for 9 happy months and sadly passed away in September 2017 age 12

Daisy & Betty

Daisy & Betty were both adopted from BRNGB (separately) and both sadly passed away within 3 months of each other last summer. Daisy was 14, we’d had her from age 9, she had been used for breeding. She was a (typically) stubborn, mouthy character. Betty came to us when she was 5, she was only 9 when she passed away, she slipped a big disc in her neck & it was inoperable. She was small, cute & cheeky. We miss them both terribly.

Nelson

My darling Nelson aka Nelly adopted April 11th 2015 with his little brother Tibs. He suffered greatly with his ears and ended up having 3 major surgeries which left him deaf but pain free. We sadly lost him on March 20th 2018 after an unknown illness (vet suspected bowel cancer) so he gained his wings. He was a troubled soul but the most gorgeous of hounds. We miss him dearly…

Dodger

Dodger on his 13th birthday. We transported him from his previous home as an urgent case. He came home with us and never left. He was 8 then and he lived until not long after his 13th birthday. He was John’s shadow and mourned him terribly when he died

Floyd

Here’s Floyd this beautiful boy passed away on the 22.11.21.Everyday this boy is missed.Such a patient dog what he went through never complained.Miss him so much.x

Poppy

This is Poppy. Along with her sister Fliss she went to my mum and dad. She’s been gone a couple of years now, but Fliss is still going strong. Being annoyed by Basil

Pem

My beautiful Pem suffered greatly due to the shock collar. Miss this cake loving girl.x

Ernest

Jarvis

Jarvis our senior rescue. Had the pleasure of his company from July 2015 aged around 10 years old until May 2019. Miss him everyday

Augustus

This is Augustus, Gus. Gus came to us as a foster with his brother. Gus really was the class clown. Gus was a little over 2. He took poorly over one weekend, we lost him just 5 days later. We were all devastated. There obviously was no question, his brother… obviously he became our boy Dylan’s new , permanent brother.

Casey

Honorary Basset Casey Beagle. Adopted from BRNBG. She wasn’t with us long but she was such a character. I still laugh at her antics every day. Especially eating 24 frozen sausage rolls for my Boxing Day buffet and spending the whole day sprawled out snoring and pumping contentedly to my families disgust 🤣 She was my best friend through lockdown and is sadly missed.

Nelson

Benson my beloved basset who sadly passed away earlier this year both my Blasset and I still miss him dreadfully he was 3 when he came having had a difficult start in life but he responded so well and his passing continues to leave a big gap
Ann Brooks

Aura

Our perfect girl, Miss Aura who we adopted 11th April 2018. She was a beautiful girl, with the biggest feet and biggest heart and the gentlest of souls. Sadly she had a mammary tumour and dementia and she gained her wings on 2nd December 2022 whilst snoring on her Mummy’s knee aged 13 years and 7 months…we miss her greatly x
Gill and Alan Dawes

Bailey

Bailey aka Boo-boo who we adopted 26th November 2018. He came into foster with us completely neglected but he still had that sparkle in his eyes and he never left us.. He loved everyone and lived for his tummy tickles and conversations! He was diagnosed with heart failure and he sadly gained his wings on 17th October 2023 aged 14 years and 5 months…we miss him so much x Gill and Alan Dawes

Gadget

Gadget joined the BRNGB family at 6 years old. Sadly 5 months later he lost his battle to bloat and crossed the bridge in the arms of his foster mum. A character, and a true gent who will always be thought of with love and a smile

Betty

15 year old Betty joined the BRNGB family in March 2023. Her health wasn’t great but she had the most wonderful life with the Chapman family until she made her way over the bridge on the 1st November 2023. She was truly loved by Lesley Chapman and family.

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.

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.
