URGENT! Old Timers need home fosters in Essex

[PoshPaws]

Help, everyone!

If you're in Essex or nearby and can help Bryan out with his gang of old timer greyhounds ... mail me on [e-mail] or Bryan on [e-mail].

Here is his mail, which explains :

Dear All, through my time of looking after Greyhounds young and old I have always maintained the once here they would die here.They would always have my affection and care through their life,they could go to their final resting place loved and missed,and forever remembered.I had a heart attack about ten years ago,a condition that has held me up at times but allowed me in most instances to carry on, in the main quite well.But about ten days ago I started to get chest pains again,its something that is frightening me but with five dogs here and just me I just cant run into Hospital and leave them to fend for themselves.I was forced to go to Casualty but talked them out of admitting me.My Doctor wants me to go into Hospital but I cant until my gang are secure.My Sister took Harry last night so I am down to four,I could just dump them in kennels but if I don't recover they would die a prolonged death waiting for me to come to their rescue and wonder why I abandoned them to their fate .I need some help ,for them to live in a home until I recover or to be cared for if I don't.Not ever to be sent to kennels.First there is Lucy,just over 14,a bit wobbly and on a heart pill a day.Rosie,13 also wobbly,on three heart pills a day.Mooney 11 a disc problem in his back,Rimadyl when he needs it,hurts him sometimes but once he gets going it never shows.Lucky 10+ but just a corn.Its not straight forward looking after my gang,medication for Rosie is paid for by the RGT,the rest by me.My gang are all well behaved and I always let them off the lead,but with their Medical problems it takes special people to look after them and care for them.I know they will have to be split up but I'm looking for volunteers to take the old girls together,and if possible the boys together as well, but the boys could go seperately. Hope somebody can help.

.... STOP PRESS! We may have a home for Lucky! The others are still looking .....

Thankyou, in advance.

Jenny have you had any response on this one? We cant take one as we have Fallon here to Jan 2nd or would in a heartbeat! We have a 14yr old already and know that the oldies are a joy!
If you need any transport assistance to get them to foster homes etc offered email me at [e-mail] and we will do our best to get them moved!
Good luck to all the little angel s and hope that Bryan recovers soon x

Hi Jenny
I am in Suffolk and could possibly squeeeeze in Lucky, if he isn't already spoken for .... the reason I suggest Lucky is that my three lurchers are young, and might be a bit too much for the wobblies! My other dog is 11.5 and already on heart pills, but is still a total lunatic (spaniel x)

Do you have any idea how long the fostering would be for? I feel so sorry for Brian and his wobbly gang but Andy is anti-fostering

If I could tell him it was only for a few weeks, he might be willing ....

[silverfish]

Have they found foster homes? What's happening!!!

[Lisa]

I think three out of the four are now in foster homes just one little lad still waiting

[MelP]

I emailed Bryan last night about one of the males but haven't heard anything back from him since then. He was waiting on call from the RGT. Anyone know if he still needs help?

[silverfish]

I haven't emailed him directly because I still need to work on Andy. I don't want to make anyone feel I'm definitely taking one.

If one is still desperately needing help and there's no-one else, please email me.

The main problem is Jim (who our vet says must not be stressed) and the other one is that we have a holiday planned for January. I could possibly help in the short term, though, to allow poor Bryan to get himself treated.

All Bryans dogs are now in foster homes and he is receiving the treatment he needs! We wish him a speedy recovery back to healt and all the love and luck in the world
