Oh my... isn't she just a mini me of Neko... with added naughty? lol! T.

Awww... funny old boy... T.

I've had to make those decisions during my time in rescue... and I've been the one holding them as they drift off. Sometimes it's just the kindest thing you can do for a dog with no rehoming prospects. As for finding "the right home" for a large breed dog with aggression issues... it only takes one mistake for the new owners of that dog to have a very real problem on their hands... and that a HUGE ask from someone who is essentailly looking for a pet they can share their life with... I'd seriously question anyone who was specifically looking for a dog with issues to adopt... T.

Inconclusive is good IMHO... means they didn't get any really nasty cells in the aspirate... Ever hopeful that what's happening there will clear up on it's own, and that Jeune will be just fine. T.

Bouncing 4 times due to unmanageable/dangerous behaviours in a normal family setting would start to make me think that maybe this dog just isn't a rehoming prospect... so what are the alternatives here? Long term kennelling, or euthanaisia... not much of a choice, is there? And as said before, the dog is not ours to make the decisions for... T.

Is Don... is blows bubbles... T.

Go Jeune! Make them vets all wrong sweetie! T.

Well done Ziggy... you awesome boy you! T.

Secret may be little in stature... but she has big attitude... lol! T.

Loving the green stuff... and the fog... yeah! T.

I'm crossing everything that Jeune's vet could be wrong about her lump(s)... and it's no slight on the vet, as he's probably an awesome vet... but let's hope this time he is wrong in his initial diagnosis. I'm sure he'll be fine with being wrong if all turns out better than initially thought... *grin* T.

Obi is huge! Love the 3 sizes in the first photo... lol! Secret is perfect in every other respect though... T.

The vet that wanted to cut half of my dog's face away was vehement that it was a malignant cancer too... then I took my dog to a vet you may know very well, and they correctly diagnosed the issue as a large fibroid... which eventually actually cleared up all by itself... There is always hope... vets can be wrong... T.

Totes adorbs! T.

Fingers crossed that all lumps and bumps are benign in nature. Please give Jeune a few extra cuddles from me... T.

The current rehoming system for ex-racing greys is already stretched to cater to the numbers needing rehoming... and getting it done safely... there is no way they are going to cope with a massive influx of dogs needing new homes asap. The words that are being reported about getting rid of greyhounds completely in NSW is just BSL wrapped up in a different blanket... grrr! So - if greyhounds are banned in NSW - what the hell are they going to do with all of them already here? I don't see a happy ending here... T.

At least with the pounds, there is a paper trail on each dog taken by the rescue... and this paper trail can be used as evidence of any shortcomings the rescue may have that can be followed up by authorities... If they are refused animals from the pound system, then they will just source animals from Gumtree or the like... and paperwork/paper trails may not be available. The problem with hoarders is that they (and their followers) don't believe they have a problem... they are "saving" all these animals, don't you know? T.

Fingers crossed that it's something easily treatable... and that she's a happy camper soon... T.

The best black dog ever! T.

I is Don... I is lubs my hooman... Such a beautiful boy... T.

Hang in there DD... T.

Ditto that! T.

There's GREEN stuff in this photo... yay! Lucky Ash... looks like a great treat he's found... T.

Awww... pretty in pink... lol! T.

I still think he looks a lot like Sudi... but his eyes are just a little bit different... Here are Sudi (facing camera) and Fumo - Enzi's cousins... T.
