Welcome to pets.ca alfieepstein

We are all saddened to hear about the loss of Helen as well .....

She will definitely be missed by so many and I hope the bassetts currently in foster care find their forever homes soon.

I too am so sorry to hear of Helen's passing
She was a devoted rescuer and animal devotee and member of our forum.

I was asked to set the record straight about KIKO Dog Rescue and BHRQ. Although Helen was indeed a good friend of KIKO's founders, she was not, in any way, involved in KIKO's rescue work. As a co-rescuer, she will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

For more information about Kiko, you can visit their website at www.kikodogrescue.com.

Sorry for the misunderstanding due to my poor literary skills.. I did not mean to involve Helen directly at Kiko's. I believe that she did however, give a lot of moral support.
