Please meet and consider sponsoring one of our amazing long term foster dogs - Daisy, Milo, Dudley, Gus, Fleur and Coco.
Introducing Daisy
DAISY - Bought as a puppy in the UK by a lady in her 70’s who has spent in the time she has owned her over 3k trying to treat her this infection but unfortunately we don’t believe she was consistent with this treatment and not helped by being fed human titbits either, she also had a couple of episodes of heat exhaustion as well.
When she realised that she could not financially care for Daisy any longer she surrendered her to us in. She was immediately neutered and also had a soft pallet operation as it was obvious her breathing was much laboured and this explained the heat exhaustion episodes. Her breathing is still noisy but she is now able to run around & play with other dogs with no issues at all.
Her demodex is severe, her paws and the pads were very swollen which bled when she walked & led her to go lame at times due to the pain (due to the way her nails curled into her paws we concluded that she was walked very little if at all in her home previously) her back legs are bald with a heavy thickening of the skin from the continual sore areas from the mites. Her ears were partially blocked (we initially thought she might be deaf) and have obviously been for a long period so it’s a case of daily cleaning we have gone from an average of 20 cotton buds each time down to about 8 per session.
She is now on a strict grain free diet (she is very underweight and her spine & ribs were very much in evidence on her arrival ) and was prescribed antibiotics to take down the infection in her paws, weekly adulux baths on the second cycle of 5, and hibscrub baths every two days aong wth advocate treatment . On recommendation from another couple of rescues who have seen good results we have given her Bravecto which is not for Demodex but has had good results on other dogs with demodex issues so it’s going to be a case of wait and see . So in the last two months we have spent £909.76 on her care and will continue to do everything we can to ensure that we get the demodex under control .

Introducing LONG TERM FOSTER DOG – MILO !!!
MILO was surrendered to us at the end of August due to a relationship breakup . We recognized very early on that his behaviour would not make it possible for him to be rehomed. He is deaf which has its own issues with a dog who has issues, he collapsed during the first week and after investigations by the bulldog “god”vet Tom Bingham at Wolverhampton despite his owners spending £3k at a specialist vet for BOAS surgery it had not been done properly so Tom made the relevant corrections and he breathing has improved from there. One of his main issues is the hatred of the car and we mean HATRED!!! He literally throws himself around the crate. He has to be sedated for any emergency travel which is just not good for any dog. Milo is therefore staying as a long term foster dog and is enjoying life on the coast with his very experienced bully fosterer Alison who has also had deaf dogs before. We are lucky that we have fosterers who take on this massive commitment and who continue to foster for us alongside their long term foster dogs as well !!! – A big thank you from us

Introducing Dudley !
Dudley (on the left) was surrendered to us by a responsible breeder as he has a GRADE 4 heart murmur, he has moved in with the Rescue Chairperson Karen and will stay with her for the rest of his life. His heart murmur is tested regularly but it is not decreasing which can occur in young dogs. So he is living with 10 year old Kira (on the right in the picture) who Karen rescued from Spain as an ex breeding bitch who was kept chained up in a concrete kennel for the first 5 years of her live.

Introducing Gus
Gus was surrendered to us by a young couple who had rescued him from a "greeder" (backstreet breeder) as they could see the mess he is was in. He was suffering from a prolapse bowel which meant every time he had something to eat and when to toilet his bowel was coming out of his bottom, this lead to infections and lost of weight. Once we took him into rescue this proved fairly quick to rectify with a strict diet coupled with the purse string op that was done before he came in. The vets however have also detected hemavertabra which is a deformity of the spine (Ringo suffers with the same issue) and his front legs are bowed outwards as he can't straighten them at all . All of these issues mean that he at times is in pain and this will increase in the coming years along with possible incontinence & epilepsy due to the spine. He will get all of the treatment he needs with us and is happy playing & living with Dudley who is another long term foster dog

INTRODUCING COCO
This little girl has no name, no home, no love & no family.
This little girl's so called "family" are being prosecuted for the neglect and suffering inflicted on her.
So what do we know about her !
She was so malnourished weighing in at 7.5kg , starvation has caused anemia!
Her ears have been left with severe infections and haematoma's & they are now deformed and the canals are tight so her hearing is likely to be affected.
We didn't know if she was house trained because, she goes in her vet pen at the moment and is afraid of being outside.
It would be unfair to bring her into a home & rehome her she's simply been through enough & needs far too much care to get her right.
She will have ongoing medical issues and bills due to the neglect humans have inflicted on her and FBRGB will ensure those needs are met for the rest of her life. So one of our lovely trustees Mel who sadly lost Cayley this week (pictured below) straight away agreed that she can stay with her as a long term foster dog
INTRODUCING FLEUR
FLEUR was surrendered to us due to her issues with strangers coming into the house and as they had a small child they knew that with her friends coming over it was only going to carrying on winding Fleur up as time went on. She is a beautiful and affectionate dog who loves nothing more than to snuggle up and be warm and cosy. She loves going out for walks and playing in the house with her toys and her humans.
Fleur had ongoing issues with her ears and anal glands during the foster period and when we moved her into a new foster home we decided that we needed to be sure she would get the ongoing vet treatment she needed so we would keep her as a long term foster dog.
She shares the home with two British bulldogs who she loves to play with and its great to see how far she has come along, she also adores the fosterers daughter which is fab for her to be able to trust humans again
Introducing Cayley - sadly passed away 3rd February 2020
Cayley is a long term foster dog as she has come into us in May 2017 at the age of 8 years and 10 months , her owners sadly surrendered her to us as they were returning to the USA after a number of years and as she has eplilepsy it would be unfair to put her through a long flight. Due to her age and her medical needs we made the decision to take her on as a long term foster dog .
