esky Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi all, Need some guidance here & hopefully some offers of help please :) Was in Sydney today (I live in Newcastle) & met a lovely man with his dog who has found himself suddenly on the streets due to a marriage breakdown. I know there are a lot of scammers out there but my gut tells me this man is genuine due to the way the meeting & conversation came about. His dog is very well cared for & he told me he was told to put the dog down or take him with him on the streets. The dog is only young & he told me fully desexed/vaccinnated etc. He does not want to part with her & is doing everything in his power to hold onto her. He has asked me (after our chat turned to dogs etc) if I knew anyone who may be able to help him & his dog get from the city to Wiseman's Ferry on Thursday to emergency accommodation? I said I would put it out there & try to get help. I would drive to Sydney & take him myself however I do not have a car now till the weekend. Can anyone make any suggestions? I do have a contact number for him if anyone can help. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esky Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thank you all for your replies so far............. :) I will definitely pass on the helpline number but will also let him know of your kind offer for Saturday Dogmad Meeting him has made me think about what I & my furbabies would/could do under the same circumstances - it really is upsetting.
