Blossom & Bonnie – In Foster – South West
No matter how many dogs we rescue, it never gets easier… we’re so sorry for the information you’re about to read.
Today, we share the heartbreaking story of two little girls — nameless, forgotten, and left to suffer in silence.
On Tuesday, we were contacted by a dog warden on behalf of the RSPCA about two young girls who had been cast aside like rubbish, left to rot in their cage. We can’t begin to imagine the fear, confusion, and pain they must have felt. But thankfully, help came… and they were found.
We’ve included a photo of the crate in which they were discovered. Heavy rain and severe weather warnings had been issued at the time they were found — shivering, soaked in rain, and covered in urine and faeces, terrified for their lives.
What was done to them was not human — because true humanity means kindness, compassion, and care. This was none of those things. This was cruelty. Pure neglect. And what hurts the most is knowing that this isn’t the first time… and sadly, it won’t be the last.
Both girls arrived in a heartbreaking state, as you can imagine. Their nails were so overgrown they’d curled, and the smell was overwhelming.
You can tell them apart by their size and their adorable ears — Bonnie is the larger of the two, with straight, pointy ears, while tiny Blossom has the sweetest floppy ones. Without a vet’s assessment, it’s hard to determine their ages, and sadly, neither has been microchipped
Bonnie is severely underweight and suffering from cherry eye. Blossom is also emaciated and struggling with one of her legs — she can’t stand or sit properly. This will need further investigation at the vets, possibly with X-rays, as there could be several underlying causes. After everything they’ve endured, we’re committed to ensuring no issue goes untreated.
Both girls are not yet house trained, so we’re working with puppy pads and basic training. They arrived on Friday evening and had a wonderfully settled first night — they must have been utterly exhausted. They slept warm and safe in brand-new beds with fluffy blankets.
Both will be booked in to the vets as soon as possible for full health checks and treatment plans
But now, their story changes.
We’ve promised these girls a new beginning — one filled with warmth, gentle hands, and love that heals. With patience, kindness, and care, we’ll help them find their sparkle again.
Please join us in welcoming Blossom and Bonnie into our GBSR family.
You’re safe now, sweet girls. You will never, ever be left alone again.
We want to thank everyone who helped these little girls so far — Adam and Sarah for collecting them from the dog warden, Angela for meeting and assisting with the mid-journey transfer, and of course, Wanda and Steve for completing the last leg of their journey.
We’d also like to welcome Sophie back to GBSR — a devoted volunteer and loving adopter of our precious Banoffee, who sadly passed this year. Sophie, your heart for this breed shines so bright, and we know you’ll help Blossom and Bonnie learn to trust again.
These two little souls have a long road ahead. They won’t be available for adoption until they’re fully assessed and ready. But for now, they have safety, love, and a whole community behind them.
Please keep following their journey — it will be one of courage, hope, and healing.
