gillbear Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I met this lovely old gentleman today with the unlikely name of Dog Shoesmith at Somersby RSPCA. While he isnt in danger of PTS this poor old dear needs to be out of the shelter ASAP!! He is bewildered and sad, the shelter is no place for such a rickety old man. He needs a warm cosy place to rest his bones, and while he has lots of blankets and a coat the shelter is far too cold for this old man. I can help with transport if needed within an hour of the central coast. This boys adoption fee is a very negotiable $100.

gillbear Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 and while we are talking greyhounds the shelter also has this pretty 5yo male available soon. Due to the intervention of a work-experience student this boys planned terminal blood transfusion was cut short and he was surrendered for rehoming.

gillbear Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 is he any good with cats or small dogs? I dont have much info atm on his background, but he should be too rickety to cause much trouble. His listing says ok with cats and dogs This is his adoptapet write up: Dog Shoesmith is an elderly gentleman. He would love you to come and spend some time with him and then adopt him. He is very easy going , loves short walks, loves his dinner and loves a nice pat. He needs a lovely warm heater to be able to stretch out in front of on these cold nights.He is also housetrained. If you think you could find a place in your home for Dogshoesmith please come and meet him. http://adoptapet.com.au/animal/animalDetails.asp?animalType=3,16&statusid=3®ionID=7&task=search&tpage=1&animalid=295631 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I could just see him toasting himself happily in front of a wood fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterpaws Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I just need to make sure any dog we take is good with cats. I work from home so they are all indoors together most of the time and when I am not home, they all tend to stay indoors. I won't ever take on a new one if it could possibly endanger the existing ones. I will call them tomoz and see if they will agree to trialling him. My two boys are fine with any other dogs, so he only needs to pass the cat test, and be OK seeing horses through a fence :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No heater, we have a wood fire Els has always wanted a greyhound and we have soft spot for the oldies I dont know about his history unfortunately I can certainly call tomorrow, he may have lived with cats before as he is housetrained. The shelter would only take into consideration past history and do a walk up to the cattery. He is a lovely old guy WP, poor babe was ready for a laydown after his short walk to do the pic. I imagine this winter will be his last Edited May 30, 2013 by gillbear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterpaws Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Oh and els pointed out we have heaps of rabbits around. Sam, my italian neighbour, would probably cook him rabbit stew if he started picking off the rabbit population :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
