Dog rehoming

[derek kelly]

My daughter is looking for another dog as companion to Alfie (Staffie cross) who is getting on a bit, she lost Hollie (staffy) last year.
She is wanting to rescue a puppy & has enquired with Rumanian, Cyprus, & Greek rescue centres, they all have loads of dogs & pups that desperately need rehoming but when my daughter mentions that she has three kids aged eight, six & three they say she’s not a suitable owner.
No wonder so many dogs get destroyed.

No local rescue centres near her...?

I know of a couple of people that have had rescue dogs from abroad and both have vowed never again. Temperament issues mainly.

Try the Spanish rehoming centres..

I don't understand why people are so keen to rehome dogs (and other pets) from abroad when the rescue centres over here are awash with unwanted pets.
And there have been lots of unwanted pets in the last few months that have been dumped on them.

It really pisses me off when people get a pet and then dump it when it becomes a problem in some way. You wouldn't adopt a child and then dump it because it inconveniences you when you go on holiday, but some people do that with their pets.
There has been a huge upsurge in pet ownership over the last few months and already thse f*ckwits have got bored with them and are rehoming them.

If our experience is anything to go by, it is the huge charges most places are making AND the hoops you have to jump through
Someone turned up and wanted to measure our garden among other stupid things.....
We have had dogs most of our lives and even have certificates somewhere declaring us as good owners.....
Told them to stuff it in the end and bought from a solid source that were not breeders as such, but had a bitch and dog working on the farm ( a big arable place out near Ely )
Assisted a mate adopting a dog in Spain.. Cost was €65 euro.. Dog was chipped, snipped and even came with a bed and a bag of food !

Exactly as Jaws says, most are trying to run as a business & not a charity, as for temperament that’s why she wants a puppy.

My sister helps to rehome dogs for a rescue charity called Settusfree. Mainly they are Spanish born and being rehomed because Johnny Foreigner doesn’t look after animals. I think the 3 kids maybe against her, but I’ll enquire of sis shortly.

btw, when I was at Calais this morning getting miss Molly Malone seen by the immigration peeps there were 5 Romanian registered Transits all containing dogs for rehoming.

yes, they can have behavioural problems, both sis’s own dogs were ‘difficult’ to start off with, but once they realise that they have truly got a kind, loving family and home to live in they settle down.

Spoke to sister. It is not uncommon to not rehome to a family with small kids. Her charity also won’t because, as said above, many of these dogs have emotional or other issues that make them unsuitable to a young family.

the rescue places do not destroy any animals, if necessary they get rehomed by staff.

Puppy farms are an issue here and illegal importation.

Cats are better anyway.

the only animal that should be hunted by dogs... Cats.
decimate the wildlife in the area and constantly crapping in your veggie plot.

 

[Malone]

They’re malicious killers of wild birds and should only be allowed on farms to kill rodents.

That'll teach you to be a vegetablist.

You only eat meat ?
You will end up like Elvis and die of a heart attack whilst trying to have a crap with 2kgs of raw meat in ur colon.
Veggies are fine in moderation as with all things.

I follow the Keto diet, so lots of meat and plenty of veg and a bit of carbs.
Consequently I am slim, fit, devastatingly good looking, fabulously rich, hung like a donkey, have a full head of hair and I have a Blackbird.
P. S. Elvis Costello is alive and well and Elvis Presley works in our local chip shop.

Cats are better if you want a cat. A cat is no use if you want a horse.
