Her Majesty Dogmad Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) I'm helping someone find a companion dog. Lady is in her 70s but fit and well, very good for her age. She wants a fluffer to fit following criteria - if you have one (in foster care) that suits, pls pm me: Female (pref) or Male - under 7 kgs Age: around 5-8 yrs of age Good on the lead, in the car Good with Cats and other Dogs Quiet (must not bark at neighbour's barking dog through fence) No separation anxiety Waist height, wire fence at rear of property - no climbers! Sounds like a long list but it's not that hard with a fluffy, I just don't have the right sort of dog right now.

Loving my Oldies Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Don't like the sound of the fence. You would know that a determined dog could easily scale that and until a dog is presented with a fence like that, how do you know he or she won't climb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put an Italian Greyhound there but there are many homes I wouldn't place one in, they are consummate escape artists. I wouldn't say the same for the fluffies I've owned and fostered. I'm looking for a solid and easy going dog rather than a highly strung one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We have a Malt/ShihTzu cross girl named Lulu that might fit the bill... she is tan/white and around 8 years old. Came to us debarked, so barking is no issue. She plays just great with dogs of all sizes and adores all humans. We haven't tested her with cats, but I don't think she's the personality type to chase them... and she doesn't climb fences or dig. Feel free to send your lovely lady our way Jane... *grin* T.

Loving my Oldies Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Go on Donatella. Although saved from the pound, this little girl is living in a kennel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm sure she'll be riddled with applications and is probably limited to NSW applicants only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Make an application donatella... SOS will consider interstate adoptions to the right homes... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlesev Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm sure she'll be riddled with applications and is probably limited to NSW applicants only I saw her in one of SOS' FB posts. Obviously, there would be many applicants for such a pretty lady. I've always wanted a pomeranian with that exact color :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how this rescue states that they will take dogs back at any time. Rosetta, any ethical rescue should have that as part of their adoption procedure. When I was rehoming, I always stressed that I didn't care how many years had passed, that if the people ever found themselves in a difficult situation, to ALWAYS let me know. Anyway, most of SOS dogs are in kennels and not in a home situation. Even tiny little dogs . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosetta Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Sorry ...did I touch a nerve or something I was just saying that it was nice to see that stated - people would find that reassuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Sorry ...did I touch a nerve or something I was just saying that it was nice to see that stated - people would find that reassuring. There have been a few threads recently about really dodgy "rescue" groups so I suppose it does hit a nerve, but just because there are a lot of passionate people involved in rescue here :) It's unfortunate that it does seem like a really extra-positive thing when a rescue will take a dog back if something goes wrong, because that should be the default position in my opinion!
