Bindo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi everyone, just wondering if any of the SA rescue groups have a small mature dog that would suit an older couple in Adelaide (my in-laws). Their little poodle cross was given her wings this week (nearly 19!) and they are missing her terribly. Although they are in their late 70's early 80's, my MIL is still fine to take the dog for walks and they are at home most of the time. There is a back up plan (their daughter) if they cannot look after the dog at any stage. The house is one level, secure yard front and back and dog door in place. I have sent links to them for some SA rescue sites for them to look at, but also thought I would check here too. An oldie whose owner has passed away or gone into care would probably be ideal. Many thanks for any suggestions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I wish those folks were in Q'ld. There's been a few lovely little dogs of just the kind you've described who've come into AWL recently. They were rehomed quickly ... Hope you can locate the right little dog for them. Such a perfect match for both the dog & the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindo Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks Mita, I hope so too, they will make a little dog very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pjrt Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Did you link them to Little Legs ? I'm not sure what Jo has right now but she specialises in oldies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbear Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 There is this little guy ftgh but in nsw, he was actually rehomed via the local rspca shelter a couple of years ago and i remember him to be a great little chap. I am happy to help with anyone either taking him in as a foster or to adopt. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/central-coast-nsw-region/dogs-puppies/pomeraniun-cross-tenterfield/1024660386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Did you link them to Little Legs ? I'm not sure what Jo has right now but she specialises in oldies. Yes try Jo, she has her rescue group on fb https://www.facebook...leLegsDogRescue or http://www.littlelegsdogrescue.com.au/ Or try Miss Squishy (Heather) of Adelaide All Breeds Dog Rescue https://www.facebook...224826754237905 Phone0422 893 914Email[email protected] Good luck!

Bindo Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Many thanks for those links guys! I will pass them on to my FIL, to see if he thinks any are suitable. While there are probably plenty of great dogs in NSW (where I am)I'd rather a local SA rescue, as that way we can make sure it works for all parties. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Isn't Leema fostering a poodle cross at the moment? Send a PM her way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindo Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks Rural Pug. I actually called about Jolly Jacques last night but it seems he is already out on a trial. I have left my number in case it doesn't work out. Many thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
