Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us to raise over £8,000 for our Golden Oldies - we are so grateful for your support!

On a cold February night, we received a call from the police, asking for Forever Hounds Trust’s help: they had found two lurchers, both old, frail and withdrawn, alone in the empty home of a gentleman who had sadly passed away. One of the dogs had a microchip still linked to the charity- we had homed her back in 2005. Our lifetime promise to the dogs we have homed means that we will always take them back into our care when they are in need – and, of course, we were ready to help both of these lovely ladies in their old age. Mint and Lizzie were placed in the safety of a Forever Hounds Trust foster home. 

Both were severely underweight and needed emergency dental treatment. Minty had 22 teeth removed – that doesn’t stop her loving her food though! She’s gained almost 2 kilos now, and Lizzie has gained half a kilo. We think both dogs are deaf, and Lizzie may also have a tumour – it’s not causing her any pain though, and due to her age, this probably isn’t treatable. We are committed to making life for Mint and Lizzie now as comfortable and full of love as possible.     

"Thanks to people like you, we were taken care of when our elderly owner died. We were pretty frail and scared to be on our own, especially as we are getting on a bit ourselves - Mint is a Fabulous Fourteen, and Lizzie a Fantastic Fifteen! 

Thank you for making our new beginning possible, even at our grand old age!  If you could help Forever Hounds Trust to help other Golden Oldies like us, that would be amazing. We reckon every hound deserves a second chance to give and receive love, no matter what their age.  

Lots of love, Mint & Lizzie
