Just had to say goodbye to my dog.........

I can understand what you are saying, and believe me it's not that easy letting him go but there is a few things now:

1. Me and the missus are out at work from 7 til 6. it's not fair keeping a dog couped up on his own for that length of time. At mum's it was OK as he was with her all the time and was able to take him for walks. Now with the amputation obviously she cant.
2. The missus has a slight allergy to dog hairs so she can't have dogs (i had the dog before i met her)

So to keep the dog with me i should:
A) quit my job so i can stay with him all day, but then have no money to keep my house and then also the dog
b) dump the missus so i can keep him?

This is the hardest thing we have had to do and beleive me i have begged and pleaded with people to take him, and we thought the RSPCA would be able to rehome to a better place than others would

I just feel that he needs to be with somebody who can give him the time and love that he deserves that unfortunately due to circumstances we cant now

 

Is there any way you could leave him at your mums and get somebody else to walk him for you?

 

Or let him stay with you and get somebody to walk him?there are businesses that will walk him for you(bit pricey but hes still with you)get a trusting mate to walk him while you are at work and then you take him out later,would have thought there would be a way round it.

 

Fair play if you have looked at all avenues hope he gets a decent home

 

That is such a sad story.
My brother has got a collie cross and an alsatian cross both from the dogs trust. Believe me they check all potential new owners out. They even came out to my brothers house in Wakefield to check things out and he had to go to Leeds where the dogs were and walk them on 3 or 4 different occassions so they could see if he was commited. You also have to pay a fee to them so that deters anyone just getting a dog as a fad.
They also came out a month after to check on the dogs.
I'd be tempted to see if the National Dogs Trust would take him as they are alot more thorough than the RSPCA. They match dogs up with people based on each peoples circumstances and the dogs.
I hope someone steps in though and it doesn't come down to the RSPCA

 

1-Just an Excuse apart from your mum, of which shes got all my sympathy....

2-What a loadda ******....

....(This is the hardest thing we have had to do and beleive me i have begged and pleaded with people to take him, and we thought the RSPCA would be able to rehome to a better place than others would)....

Its a loadda ******, You ought to hang your head in shame, all excuses to make yeah feel better ffs....

Hope your more sensitive in other areas of your pitiful life....

You can pay for a dog walking service. I know i would've done that for my dog rather than lose him

So would I Kanecat

 

except his gf is allergic.

I have the upmost respect for somebody that (after looking at the options) has the balls to stand up and say I am not able to provide this animal/person with the best quality of life and I would rather lose them in order to allow this person/animal to get the best elsewhere. If more people did that then maybe the likes of stevie's family wouldnt have to put up with a druggie
