We've decided it's time to adopt another second-hand mutt. We have contacted 3 dog re-homing centres and none have replied. Why is everything so flipping difficult? :Sad:

Posted at 17:37, 'phone rang at 17:45, GSD foster homes have a dog for us will call to arrange a homecheck etc.We've decided it's time to adopt another second-hand mutt. We have contacted 3 dog re-homing centres and none have replied. Why is everything so flipping difficult? :Sad:
I've always adopted adult dogs from rescue centres but this last one has rather put me off.
We had Lula from Many Tears in Llanelli at the end of January. She's an ex-breeding bitch with the sweetest nature.
We were told that she had an ear infection which they had started to treat (but not that she had a heart murmur until we picked her up)
After completing the antibiotics and eardrops the infection was no better so our vet took swabs.
It turned out that she had an untreatable infection which was resistant to all antibiotics. On the vet's advice, we reluctantly returned her as the infection is transferable to humans with compromised immune systems.
We are heartbroken - not to mention £400 out of pocket.

having worked in dog rescue at the sharp end of the stick, I can honestly say that the biggest welfare organisations are uneconomic businesses but the smaller local ones are run on a shoestring purely for the benefit of the dogs. we were just happy to find a suitable loving home and were delighted if we got a decent donation. the money was secondary though and our bank account rarely covered all the expenses
thankyou for recycling a dog from a rescue and rehoming specialist...thats a place available to help another:thumb:
SESAW have dogs for rehoming if anyone is in the Suffolk area. Dawn (S) does the home checks etc. plus also runs the Facebook page for them. We foster the ones that don't go well in kennels, which is how we ended up with idiot dog, Jake.........
Mike was second-hand too

We looked, but no GSD's on website. I've had a dog(s) for the last 57 years (from the age of 10) and have always wanted a German shepherd dog, to me, they just look like how a dog should be. Every dog I've had with the exception of one (Black Lab) has been a GSD cross. I go to the rescue homes saying this time and get talked into something else. Mind you I wouldn't change one of them, they have all been great dogs in their own way. BUT this time I went to UK German shepherd dogs for adoption, surely this time, but what the hell, whatever.

as for people who think all rescues are damaged goods, i can tell you that i have even rehomed dogs that were previously shown at crufts. it is generally not the dog's fault they get put up for recycling. the usuals were relationship breakdown, having a baby or moving home. why not give a trained happy confident dog a second chance and a new family?
