HUNTER DOUGLAS ATB  APRIL 14TH, 2024
HUNTER DOUGLAS  the story of a Senior Dog.
Senior’s are wonderful and you will never know what your missing till you adopt one.
This is the story of Hunter Douglas. BROPS received an email on February 19, 2022, from a lady who went to a garage sale. I went to an estate sale today in Orting. There was an older basset hound there that no one wanted. His owner passed away & I was told if they couldn't give him away, he would be put to sleep. I am visiting here & can't take him with me. He was a very calm & friendly dog. Needed his nails trimmed badly. They were curling under. I wanted him to get help somehow, so I searched the internet & found you. I hope you can help him. BROPS had he in two days.
March 1st, we had a fund raiser to raise money for his medical issues. Our loyal supporters came out and we reached our goal. Huter Douglas was adopted in March by the Ericksons.
We adopted Hunter March 26th, 2022.  Hunter loved people.  He enjoyed coming to work to be with the clients.  He would sit in reception and greet them.  He loved going anywhere that had lots of new people to meet.  He didn’t enjoy car rides, but once we got to the destination, he was usually the center of attention.  Hunter was the sweetest boy.  He was good with kids and other dogs. Even the squirrels and rabbits in our back yard were not afraid of HD.  He didn’t’ have a single bad habit.  Two years was certainly nowhere near long enough, but we are so grateful for the love and joy he brought to everyone. 
Sweet Hunter Douglas went to Heaven on April 14th.  Poor boy had a huge stomach tumor.  I saw your post today and it's 100% true.  Every day with Hunter was a gift.  Thank you for letting us adopt him.  I think we gave him a good life.
Thank you for adopting him and giving him the love he deserved,

CHANCE
In Memory of Chance 
Donation made by Lake Stevens Animal Hospital

​
 Chance was taken in by our good clients, the Kane's, when he was 3 years old. At the time they had a 7 month old Basset Hound, named Phoebe and had wanted to get a playmate for Phoebe. Chance's previous owners could no longer handle his allergy issues - both food and airborne allergies. For years Chance battled secondary skin & ear issues from these allergies and also pancreatitis flare ups. His human parents were always on top of his medical care and had been willing to do all medical recommendations made by us. As time went on, the Kane's adopted an approximately 5 year old Basset that had been tied up to our picnic table out back of our clinic. They named her Lilly and it was always fun when the whole brood would come in for visits - the Kane's would often just stop by the clinic with the pups just to say hi. Chance had that kind of personality that would always stand out of the rest of the pack - he made sure to announce his entrance every time he came to clinic with that typical Basset Hound howl and the staff always made sure to get up to the lobby to greet him as soon as possible. He was just one happy hound all the time. About 1 1/2 years ago the Kane's moved to Ireland - this is something they had talked about doing for years. They worried about the stress of the travel since all three of their pups were geriatric. They hired a company to handle all of the travel arrangements for the pups and in March 2015 they left for Ireland. After a couple of weeks, we heard from them and all was good. At Christmas time 2015, we received another email with nothing but glowing reviews of how life was going in Ireland. Apparently all of Chance's allergies had resolved while living there and everyone was happy and healthy. At the age of 13 years, Chance passed away. The owners did not explain what happened, only that he had passed over the Rainbow Bridge.
