goldenluv Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi I have a dog that we rescued but turns out my daughter is allergic to her. I'm wondering how to go about rehoming her I do not care about getting money for her just want the best home But have been told that its best to ask for some, ‘if they can not pay for the dog they can not afford to have a dog’ is what I have been told What are your views on this? Things that I have thought to ask: Has to be an inside dog At least 30minute walk/run each day Good fencing Is to be a companion not outside and alone Be willing to brush at least every second day About our girl: Sweet, sweet sweet, a love bunny Is a rescue girl, can raid the bin if not feed on time If left alone will do a Harry Houdini Lots of energy, but wonderful to live with in the house Is now crate trained, Loves every one and every thing (well maybe birds better be careful around this girl) Not aggressive or dominate, but can be stubborn if she thinks she can get away with it. Is there any thing else I need to ask or say to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any thing else I need to ask or say to people Is she a pedigree or a cross? There may be a breed club that also does rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 A pedigreed dog will find a home pretty easily I would think? You can contact Troy about putting her in the "Mature Dogs" or "Rescue" classifieds. Has she had any training? For example does she know "sit" and walk well on a leash? These are often big bonuses for people. My suggestion is to write a nice profile for her and then post in the rescue section so that one of the rescuers can put her on petrescue.com.au. Also ask a few rescuers who live in your area to put her on their "Private Rehoming" pages. Petresceu.com.au has some great advice for writing profiles that get noticed (eg focus on what kind of family she would suit and what she can offer an owner ie not only a list of "demands" from the dogs pov).

Scarlet Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Check out the rescue thread and towards the top are some iders under Pinned: Guidelines For Posting In The Rescue Forum (including help on re-homing your dog) It gives some idea plus where to advertise. Post in rescue too as someone may even be looking for/have a good home available for a lovely red setter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabrador Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'm confused about why your daughter is allergic to one dog but not another. You have a golden retriever too? Is that common for people to only react to one dog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not understand it ether, she reacts to most short haired dogs, newfs and a few other breeds that we have come in contact with but does not have a prob with the goldie we have changed the English's food and shampoo to see if that helped but to no good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
