In Memory of Dexter Williams
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page in support of the 2008 BROOD Basset Ramble on May 31!
The Williams family has supported Basset Rescue of Old Dominion (BROOD) for over 10 years. We adopted Dexter from BROOD in 2005 and he instantly became an important member of the Williams basset pack. He was adopted twice through BROOD and was 12 years old when he came into our lives. Dexter went to the Rainbow Bridge two years ago, and his brother Winston and sister Roxanne are raising money for BROOD in his memory for the 2008 RAMBLE.
Several hundred basset hounds will be waddling in the RAMBLE fundraiser and are quite a sight to see! They waddle to raise money for dogs like Dexter who need a forever home. Some dogs have been found lost, abandoned at shelters, or lost their owner to death like Dexter. He was loved for 8 years by his last owner, who died quite suddenly. Lucky for him that BROOD was there to help find him a new home in the Williams family! We still miss him dearly. (Well, maybe not Roxanne..)
All donations to BROOD are used entirely to rescue and place homeless basset hounds in our area and are fully tax deductible. The hounds need your help to find their forever homes! Check out the BROOD website at www.brood-va.org for more information about the hounds and the upcoming Ramble.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who may want to support Basset Rescue. We raised over $500 last year and want to exceed that this year with your support!
The Williams family--(Chris, Bruce, Winston and Roxanne)
