Hi guys and girls,

This is going to break my heart but.........

My two dogs need rehoming due to the fact that we are moving into a rented house and we can't take them with us.

Does anyone know of anywhere that would take them as I have tried the RSPCA and Dogs Trust etc and they all have waiting lists and they need rehoming pronto, preferably by the weekend.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is the larger one, Alfie. he is a 4 1/2 year old german shepherd crossed with a doberman.
And this is Kat, yes I said Kat lol. She is a 3 1/2 year old german shepherd crossed with something else but we are not sure what,

Have you tried the Blue Cross?

I think if I were forced into something like this I'd be inclined to offer either a sizeable donation or weekly payments for their upkeep until such time as a suitable home is found for them.

If they're of good temperament, healthy and with a good veterinary record, they should fare better than a stray, snappy mutt.

My daughter has just moved into a rented house in Norfolk. One of the conditions was that they would allow dogs. Could you not try to find a more dog friendly property?

Unfortunately Gerry there are very few properties in this area that are available at the moment and even fewer that allow dogs.

I will try the Blue cross tomorrow. thanks for the link.

are they good with other dogs/cats , kids etc :?:

They are good with kids, we have a grandaughter of 2 1/2 years old and a grandson of under a year old and they get on very well with them. They tend to get a bit excited when they first come in but after about 5 mins they settle down.

As far as other dogs go, we have had people come to stay and they have brought their dogs with them and again, after a little while they calm down.
They do get a bit excited when they see other dogs whilst out walking but they don't tend to get aggressive, they just want to play, but because of Alfies size people do get a bit wary.

They are not so keen on cats that come into the garden but we have never had a cat in the house with them so I cant really say what they would be like in that situation.

By the way if necessary I can drop them off this weekend if anyone will take them in.

Thanks

Nik

Are all their jabs etc... up to date?? Have they been neutered?? Do they both get on well??

The reason i ask is because i may be interested in taking both.

very sad mate , if i can think of an idea i will let ya know

Gutted for ya mate, if we didnt already have Sky i would have taken them in gladly.

For anyone else, i can vouch for how good these 2 dogs are, while Alfie is a size he is also one of the softest dogs I've ever met, and Kat just wants to sit there and get fussed all day.


Hope you get sorted Nik and I'lla sk around.

if theres owt else I can do to help please feel free to ask,

Ant

Francis, The jabs are up to date. Alfie is neutered and Kat is spayed so no chance of any seasons or puppies . They do get on very well together. You can call me anytime after 7.30 tonight or anytime tomorrow on my mobile if you want to discuss anything about them. The number is in the members area.

Ant, thanks for vouching for them. They really are a pair of softies.
