fbaudry Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My apologies if that has been covered already... Acquaintances of mine have been talking for a while about getting a dog, and they now feel they are ready to take the plunge. They're still in the search stage but lean towards adopting an adult dog. They are a "mature" couple, no kids, living in an apartment with one of them working from home at times. I think going through a reputable rescue group that fosters and temp test is the way to go (as opposed to adopting an unknown quantity from a pound). I know of PAWS but was wondering if there are any other groups around Sydney you would recommend? Thank you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 T - you are too kind! PAWS has some lovely dogs it's true. Depends what your friends want Fbaudry - I will message you and am happy to help. I have an angel here who is just going up for adoption, he's so close to being a foster failure - I have to be strong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Was about to say everything T said, you can trust Jane to place a dog and also give backup all the way. Is that the cute little munchkin you brought to mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbaudry Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thank you guys! Trying to narrow down the "options" with these friends and manage their expectations. I'll keep on browsing on the PAWS site and chatting to Jane once we are a bit clearer on what it is they realistically want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little darling went to a wonderful new home today, I had a few tears but I could not be happier and they've sent me some happy snaps tonight so all good. Thank you to Denise at PAWS for advertising my little man - Denise now has her own website in case anyone wants to have a look - www.deniseatpaws.com.au. She is no longer just "PAWS" but is "Denise at PAWS" and has a new website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
