Loreley Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have had an acquaintance contact me that is looking for a small non or low shedding dog, she only works part time and has an 11 year old daughter. She doesn't want a pup, is looking for a dog from 1 to about 3 to 5 years of age. Over anxious puppies need not apply please, generally calm and happy disposition is whats needed for her particular situation. Living in Canberra, dog will be sleeping inside, have inside/outside access. Back yard has lots of shaded areas and secure fencing. Loving home with lots of cuddles guaranteed. She has made contact with a couple of rescue groups in recent months and has been told by one that unless she is prepared to adopt 2 animals, she wouldn't be considered, another didn't reply to her enquiry. Does anyone have a furry that would fit this bill please?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixeduppup Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 CPR rescue in Canberra should have some nice dogs that may suit her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I don't want to put a 'downer' on these nice people's wish to own a dog. But the sub-heading says 'allergy sufferer'. The trigger for allergies is not simply due to the dog's hair, but is associated with the 'dander' .... which is the flakes of dead skin. 'Dander' is shed, no matter if the fur is long or short. The concern about allergies needs to be looked at further ... there's good info here: http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/dog-allergies Edited June 24, 2013 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loreley Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Good point, I know that she is an allergy sufferer but don't think that its specific to dogs, she has had dogs before but quite some time ago, so I would assume that she is just trying to be cautious about the breed. Will again pass the info on though thanks and will also check out CPR site as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I believe the Poodle Club of NSW has two young toy poodles looking for homes at the moment. They are listed under rescue on the DOL main pages. Edited June 26, 2013 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
