“Need” a new dog - hmmm. Not an essential purchase methinks.
When we got our rescue Yorkie we had a home visit to vet us as suitable eg private, secure garden, make sure we weren’t both out all day etc.before we ever got to meet the dog.
Hi Folks
We lost Lily, our beloved Jack Russell Terrier on 5th Jan. She had been ill and naturally she was "a very good dog".
We are now looking for a replacement, but no a pup - have you seen the silly prices! I could renew and upgrade my DV20 (or car) for that sort of money.
The question is are we allowed to travel to collect the new dog? We are in S Notts and possible dogs are up to and over 200 miles away
Any clarification is welcome.
Thanks
Mike
The Yorkshire Terrier and Small Breeds Association.same here, we went to Blue Cross, wouild always try here first. which rescue centre did you go to?
The rescue centres are closed? I
See post #8. Rescue centres have no dogs - it even made for a discussion on Womans Hour.
The Dogs Trust place in Loughborough that was mentioned has 11 dogs listed as available at the moment. They also mention that they can start the re-homing process via Zoom meetings.
I know someone who took a return four hour flight from one US state to another then a four hour car journey to pick up a new pup, with an overnight hotel room on the return leg.
Well anyone wanting a rescue dog near Loughborough is very lucky aren't they?
All of the rescue charities etc. have been in print and everywhere else saying that they have no dogs, which I am sure does not mean every single last solitary one, just the huge majority. Or maybe they are/were just making it all up.
