Bett

It's s upsetting when young lives, barely begun, are cut short on the threshold of a bright future.  Bett and Bram, carelessly discarded on the streets, were rescued on 5 April 2024.  They were very small and under-nourished, but had a spark of life about them that was impossible not to cherish.  Just when they began to put on weight, they both caught Distemper, which had yet to reveal itself after the rescue of another rescue who initially tested negative.  Bett succumbed first, with Bram holding out another week before losing his battle.   Bett passed away on 3 May 2024, and Bram followed her on 13 May 2024.

We are heart-broken to lose them.  Distemper is a cruel virus, and with such young dogs, even with the first dose of vaccine in them to help build immunity, the chances of survival are low.  We will give them every chance, but only the dog can fight for it's life.  It's a fight these two do not have to win anymore, and we hope they are reunited - starting and ending life together - lives in which we hope they felt love from us to the end.
