  • Who is Pippin?

    I’m a ‘forever foster’ girl because I came to BTRF with a lot of medical issues, including some suspicious lumps on my tummy, side and tail.
    I will stay with my foster mum forever and my amazing care team will keep a very close eye on me to make sure I stay well.

  • Why does Pippin need sponsoring?

    Pippin is 12 years old and she came into the care of BTRF because her owner passed away and she had no one to look after her.  She loves a cuddle with her foster mum and even though she is an older lady, she still bounces around and likes to play with her BTRF house buddy, Mr Todd. She is also a ‘pocket treat thief’ - nothing is safe when Pippin’s around.

    She has the usual range of Beddie ear and skin allergies that are managed with monthly immunotherapy injections, a special diet and supplements. She also suffers with arthritis as an older lady, and this is also managed for her with medication and joint supplements.

    Pippin has a very special team of vets advising and looking after her as she has a history of tumours and she is now going blind and deaf.

    Your support will help pay for Pippin’s on-going vet bills, her immunotherapy, medication and specialist food whilst she lives her very best life with BTRF in foster care.

  • Pippin's Latest News - January 2024

    Hi all – little miss Pippin here. Not a huge amount to report since the last newsletter but I wanted to get a mention as I am BTRF’s most senior foster girlie, Eddy is the most senior foster fella!

    You probably remember that I came into BTRF’s care in a really bad way. I needed lots of medical treatment including have a few ‘suspicious’ looking lumps removed from my tummy. I also had lots of allergies (like most of the Beddies that come to BTRF) that needed to be carefully unpicked. But with a really good diet and supplements I started to feel (and look) so much better.

    I am also very special because I have something called immunotherapy. This involves monthly injections that keep my allergies at bay – it’s not cheap but thanks to all your donations BTRF were able to arrange for me to have this.
    I also have arthritis, but I have some help for this too, so I am a very lucky Beddie. Age is not relevant, keeping me well and happy is most important to BTRF and my foster mum. She loves me even though I keep her on her toes a lot of the time – her coat pockets where my treats are kept are fair game!

    That’s all my news for now but I am doing pretty well for my age, thanks to you all

    Licky slurps and happy New Year
