OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED - DOUGIE CAME HOME TODAY
Today Richard travelled to Swift Referrals and brought Dougie home to Cottam. He is still a work in progress as he still has some diarrhea but God willing he will now begin his recuperation and complete recovery under the care of our Cottam team but it may take a while.
Thank you to Swift Referrals for the amazing expert care they have given Dougie and the compassion they have shown. They never gave up on him and have literally saved his life. Here is the team at Swift bidding him a very fond farewell.
Thank you also to Bray House Vets and Sutterton Veterinary Hospital for the brilliant care and treatment they gave him when he was so critically ill.
Dougie's story has been a very emotional one where our ethos that all life is precious and should not be given up on has been tested to the full. I am so proud to say that it passed the test. Decisions on Dougie came from the heart and not any business head. We are a small charity that holds no reserves so it has been a frightening time. Many times I came off the phone agreeing further treatment and cried because of the toll I knew the cost would take but there was never a choice for me. Dougie's life counted.
You amazing people made the process so much easier with your donations, prayers, support and backing that Dougie should be given every chance to survive. You lifted my heart, motivated me and gave me the strength I needed and I am personally so very grateful to you.
Because of you we have managed to raise 50% of the costs of Dougie's treatment and because 100% of donations are spent directly on the dogs this has lightened the load so very much and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We will still be doing fund raisers for Dougie because even with your massive contribution we are still struggling the raise the other half of the bill with 137 dogs already in our care so if at any time you feel you can spare £1 or so to go into Dougie's pot that would be totally wonderful and would help us so very much.
So thank you so very much from us all and especially thank you from the beautiful Dougie who has been so good tempered during all he has been through and has captured the hearts of everyone who has met him. You were there for him when he needed you most. The world is often very cold and ruthless but for Dougie you made it a place of warmth and compassion because you all believed his life counted. You kept the faith. Trudiexxxx

BRAMBLE
Bramble is a Staffie cross.
This beautiful boy is still waiting for a forever home and he is one of our long termers who needs to have a forever home to call his own.
Our Bramble is approximately 10 years old and is waiting for a loving home. He loves cuddles and walks and just wants somewhere to call home.
Terrified Bramble was left tied to a post in a wood all night and then taken to the pound.
We have restored this boy's trust in humans and he is now ready to find the home of his dreams.
Are you the person who can give him his forever home, he will reward you with love and loyalty.
Please complete the adoption form putting his name on.

Every day Doris Banham are asked to save the lives of new dogs because we are the last option for that dog to live whilst we have so very many already in our care being prepared for their forever homes. Our intake is totally unconditional irregardless of veterinary needs, age or training needed. We are totally non destruct so dogs stay with us until they find their forever home however long that takes. Long termers like Bramble cost a lot of money. We do not know what would happen to all of these dogs if Doris Banham Dog Rescue was not here to say yes and to keep them safe whilst they learn to be good dogs. It would be a tragedy and we cannot let that happen. Please would you consider cradling long termer Bramble whilst he patiently waits for that special someone to come along.
Please please, if you can even donate £1, it WILL make a difference and 100% of it will go directly to this boy. We are all unpaid volunteers, paying our own expenses and we have no administration costs. 100% of funds are spent on rescuing the dogs
