mackiemad Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi all, I'm not a rescuer but came across this little dog in my travels. An acquaintance went in, met him and did a meet and greet with her toddler and dog. Her little female dog is quite nervous and didn't warm to him, though he was fine with her, happy to give her space etc. He also seemed very good with her toddler. He's not old at 5-6 yrs. Small and a cute scruffer so surely he's pretty adoptable? The reason I'm posting him in here is because he has a few skin issues that would be cleared or managed with proper care and the fear of him being at the lost dogs home in Melbourne. http://dogshome.com/dog-adoption/adoptable-dog/?petID=922306 He seems like a great candidate for a smaller rescue group - as in he seems like the kind of dog many potential adoptees would have be requesting. Anyhoo, was just hoping for a good result for this little guy as he is my type of dog but I'm full up atm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 He's gorgeous - how about the people that are looking in Melbourne for a small dog?? I'll message the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keetamouse Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If he doesn't get anything in Vic he can come to Canberra to CPR, I do need to know what his skin issues are. Maree CPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbedWire Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 He is a super gorgeous little dog. Unfortunately I don't live in Victoria, but he is definitely my sort of dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'd say there's some Schnauzer in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbedWire Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have rung the LDH and Jack is on Malaseb skin wash for a chronic skin condition and dermatitis which started off as a flea allergy but which has progressed. He is 6 kilos and is available for $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackiemad Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I know, he's lovely - I have schnauzers so he really is my kind of dog! Unfortunately I live in an apartment and have too many animals already. The skin issues will be fine with management and then a regular flea routine, it seems more of a neglect cause than anything - allowing fleas to run rampant and cause secondary problems. I don't think he's an urgent rescue, but with the Ldh you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah82 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 last I checked LDH don't work with rescue orgs so this guys best chance will be for someone to adopt him directly from the shelter. (unless something has changed since last month's vigil and current inquiry into LDH's processes and procedures) He's very cute, I could imagine you could get him looking like a very handsome schnauzer with the right hair cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
