Loraine Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) My son and hsi family are hoping to move back to the UK in a couple months time. They have an 8 year old male, desexed, microchipped Weimaraner. Alfie suffers separation anxiety and his vet has advised against him being shipped to the UK. Son has asked me to help find a new home for Alfie. I am not even sure where to start. I am a member of SAFE, so I will contact them tomorrow, but I do know this dog needs to go to an experienced Weimaraner person. Any advice would be much appreciated.

dancinbcs Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Surely if the dog suffers separation anxiety he would be better to go with his family than to be rehomed. With the new rules there is no quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Weimeraner Club of WA has been doing rescue - they are great and their rescue lady will have a chat with your son about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new rules there is no quarantine. All well and good but how do you propose it deals with 24 plus hours in transit/ on flights? Pretty sure Weis are bloat prone so the stress may be a too big a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Loraine just sent you a PM with contact details for the Wei Club rescue, she has read the thread but isn't a member here and is hoping to hear from you and/or your son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkatswing Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Surely if the dog suffers separation anxiety he would be better to go with his family than to be rehomed. With the new rules there is no quarantine. She has already mentioned that even the Vet recommended not transporting the dog. Taking it with them is not an option here.

GoldenWei Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Has your son contacted his breeder? Maybe they are willing to help find a home for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loraine Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks for all your advice. RallyValley I got your message and have passed to my son - many thanks from him and me. They will be renting over there for some time and have already found that it will be extremely difficult to rent with such a large dog, most house owners are declining all pets!
