Nekhbet Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I just had a phone call from the priest in charge of the local Ukranian Catholic Church, he has to go to Austria for 2 years for his study and his family is coming with him. Unfortunately the home he had teed up for the dog has fallen through and he's leaving on tuesday The dog is Lada, she's a staffy cross, lovely nature, desexed, microchipped, good with kids, cats and other dogs. He's willing to pay for all food, medical etc for her or if the family loves her and she is too attached they can keep her when they return. If anyone knows of anything we need info ASAP, PM me and I can pass on their phone number to Ihor Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keshwar Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 can't he take dog with them? I don't think it would be dificult to fly it to austria I'm guessing if he flies out on tuesday it is a bit late to organise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ukranian catholics are a weird inbetween of catholic and orthodox, they can be ordained if they are married, not married after becoming a priest, hence why so many of them sometimes wait until after marriage to finish. Yes it's too late to arrange anything for Lada to go to Austria with them and they do not have family here in Australia, they are originally from Ukraine. I was going to say I'm surprised no one from the church stepped up to take her, but I'm not really considering I grew up in that church and most of them are my relatives (including him in a distant way I do believe) He asked me but I don't have any space at all.

WoofnHoof Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If he is amenable to taking her OS maybe he could put her in a kennel and pay the kennel owner to organise to send her over when all the arrangements are made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I don't know if his accommodation over there is pet friendly in any way, I think he might be staying in church property. The church down here allowed it but he's far from the norm when it comes to that culture to be honest having an indoor dog in his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Stafford Rescue in Vic might be able to help - even if they advertise the dog over the weekend and Monday. Maybe contact all the local rescue groups - someone might have a space or be able to take on as an urgent until something else can be organised.

Topoftheheap Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 On the Catholic with a family issue, I saw on the US news channel that Catholic priests are now allowed to marry and have families. Hope they find someone, he sounds like he really loves the dog if he is prepared to pay expenses for a dog that he may give away if the family is too attached in 2 years time. Wish I knew someone.

Liebhunde Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ukranian Rite priests Arne not the same as Roman Rite priests...all Orthodox rites have the option to marry...not so the Roman rite..where celibacy is imposed. in rare circumstances a married man can be ordained in the Roman Rite..sorry this thread went priestly!!

Swizzlestick Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I passed on the details to my friend....she rang the owner today. The dog had just found a home with someone else, so she missed out, but sounds like she has a lovely new home anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
