It would be very easy to test and see if it is the dog, it would just be a skin test. Just thinking how pets can help to calm children, so if it wasn't the dog causing the issue, she may actually be able to help.

If you stick with rehoming her, best of luck, all rescues and shelters are full to bursting I'm afraid. If she isn't spayed, can I suggest that you get her done before you rehome her, and definitely do a homecheck, people will lie unfortunately, and pretend to be great family homes, and sometimes turn out to be puppy farmers (yes, even of crossbreeds) or worse, dog fighters, looking for bait dogs. If you let us know your general area, someone could recommend a decent rescue near to you that may be able to help.

We are in the East Meath area. And yes, she's been spayed

We don't know it is the dog for sure but the doctor suggests it may be. We have been down a very long road - child is continually ill. We don't want to subject the child yo any more tests for the monent - she's been through enough and is now nervous of doctors and hospitals!!
I am willing to see if giving the dog away TO A GOOD HOME helps her health to improve. I wish my dog would sleep outside in her kennel but she refuses - probably because we have spoiled her. I am constantly cleaning dog hair after her ( she is long haired). If she would stay outside - I would try to keep her

Sorry to hear that, the poor little mite I read on another forum of a woman in much the same predicament, she tried homeopathy on her daughter and her symptoms vanished and she was able to keep her dog.

I would really recommend getting your child tested before rehoming your dog. Doctors are very quick to recommend getting rid of a pet when someone presents with respiratory problems but often it's not needed. When I was in hospital with an asthma flare up the doc told me to get rid of my cats despite the fact I've grown up with animals and worked as a student veterinary nurse for 3 years so it was completely unfounded, if was actually mould causing my flare up. But I know it's very hard to see one you love go through medical problems so as above if you do decide to rehome the dog just really really make sure you do a home check. Even if rescues are full some will help you by advertising for you and doing a home check. Best of luck!

I'm thinking of rehoming my dogs. 10 year old Jack Russell and 10 year old collie mix. I'm wondering how I'd get them a home? Do I bring them to a shelter or find a home myself? They must be homed together as they've been together all their life. Unfortunately my family and I have to sell our family home due to my Mum's illness and we just don't have the time or money to look after them any longer as she needs full time care. They're a great pair. Never had any problems with them. Great with people, children, and other pets (mainly cats).

Shelters and rescues are full to the rafters with abandoned and released dogs at the moment. In my, limited, experience it's really unlikely that given the variety of younger dogs that yours would be easily placed, particularly together. I definitely think you should try and find a home yourself, as I don't think any shelter would be in a position to guarantee rehoming together. Also, as far as I'm aware, if you release them to a pound they will only be held for 5 days before being pts.

It's actually only 24 hours in the case of surrenders or sooner if the pound is full. It's the strays that get 5 days.

This site is my last resort.

I've tried everywhere/everyone I know to get a new home for my two lab/golden retriever cross.

I'm not sending them to a shelter or the pound.
Dogs trust is full to the gills.

Is anyone here in the market? They're 2 and a half, absolute beauts. Sisters that have been within two feet of each other since day one.

I'm in danger of losing a job abroad that I've been putting off starting while trying to get them sorted.

Any constructive help is greatly appreciated.

Gokei can you post up photos or videos of them? You've a better chance of rehoming them if people can see them and judge what their personalities are like etc. You can PM me if you don't know how to do this and would prefer to email them.

Thanks for the info. I'd never give them to the pound. I want them to find a loving home with people who will take care of them. Definitely don't want them being put to sleep!

I've not quoted your post as it will be snipped as naming individual rescues is against the forum charter, but I would be wary of a rescue that refuses to turn any animal away "no matter how full". It's very detrimental to the welfare of the existing animals to overload a rescue and drain the precious few resources that are available. Most rescues and shelters only turn away animals because they are at capacity and know the risks of overloading.

I have a 13 year old female African Grey Parrot and I’d like to find a new permanent home for in Ireland (Dublin area if possible). Please respond if you’re interested in getting in touch for a chat.

Update on my rehoming situation..

But of a double edged sword.. For other reasons I've had to inform my new employer that I won't be starting the job..

Bright side, i get to keep my dogs!

Big thanks to everyone who took time to pm and reply on thread.

has she been around other animals

Oakey2014

No. She hasn't been around animals. I would imagine she doesn't understand the danger of a dog or cat, actually while confronted with a Cat once, she went straight for the Cat, so that would have ended poorly for her...

my mother has one that's very interactive with the dogs that's why i was asking

Oakey2014

In terms of verbal interacting, yes she talks, whistles, calling the cats and dogs etc etc, saying some lines out of movies etc. She spent her first year with my mother (I bought her for my mother), she had cats and dogs and she would call them, bark and meow like them, but that’s all normal type of parrot behaviour anyhow.

I'm in the very sad situation of having to acknowledge that I can't provide my pet chinchilla with the home he deserves.
I can give him plenty of food and water and treats but unfortunately i don't have time to spend with him and since my other chinchilla died a year ago he has been looking more and more depressed.
I live in Wexford and am trying to find a home for him with other Chins or Dagoos (sp?) as I believe he really needs companionship.
He is a 5 year old white velvet from good stock. No inbreeding in the traceable history. He is not aggressive and is trained to hand but very nervous of strangers and sometimes even people he knows in the last few months.

If someone could give him a new home I could provide you with his two storey cage, food, bedding, water bottle and bowls. All he needs is time and love.

I will be a bit particular about people either having chinchillas or dagoos though as I need to see that you are able to care for him.

Hiya, is she indoor bird, and does she like being around people?

I'm hoping I can get some advice, we have a fantastic 2 year old bitch Doberman (neutered)

She is a much loved pet but she needs rejoining for lots of reasons: no room and no time for walks which are the biggest reasons

After putting the word out with half interests but no takers I put up an ad on done deal and I got a rake of enquiries. I had reserved the dog for a man quite a bit away but he pulled out the day before we were to meet up.
I had other enquiries but none of them sounded like the right home
I got an email from a concerned dobie lover saying to be careful that done deal is crawling with people looking for Doberman dogs to use as bait!
I was so upset to read it

So now I'm dubious about advertising online, but the dog needs rehoming. I've got a 2 week old new baby and the dog was meant to be homed since January. Things are pretty chaotic now but I don't know how to get it out there to a genuine owner. Our dog is a gentle soul, I couldn't bear sending her somewhere that something bad could happen to her

Any suggestions?

Tranceypoo

I would agree with the email you received, it's not just scaremongering it really happens, please don't advertise her on done deal.

You could get in touch with some local rescues and ask if they will let you advertise on their page for a new home and help you with a home check and advise you on questions to ask potential new owners, what to look out for etc, a home check is essential, perhaps for a donation to the rescue they could get one of their volunteers to home check for you. Please stress at all times that this is a SPAYED female

Are there any specialist Doberman rescues, either here or in UK? Have you been in contact with them?

Can you get a dog walker or day care for her in the meantime to keep her excercised and socialised as you probably have your hands full with a baby, or can someone else in the family make sure she's getting regular walks and cuddles?

Hi everyone,

There are two dogs we cannot keep anymore due to change in personal circumstances...my heart is breaking having to find a new good home for them.

Fluffy is a nearly 4 year old spayed female mongrel. She appears to have sheep dog, collie, spaniel in her. Super active dog who needs LOTS of exercise. Fluffy is a lovely, affectionate dog. She is working type of dog, but she is not trained to be a working dog. She is used to spending most of daylight hours outdoors, and gets depressed if kept inside for too long.

Scruffy is a nearly 2 year old neutered male pure bread West Highland Terrier. He is a typical westie, a lovely dog for the right person. Scruffy just recently recovered after being hit by a car. Scruffy tires out by a good long walk, and enjoys spending time indoors as well as outside.

Both dogs grew up with young kids, have been well treated, loved, and are playful, strong, healthy dogs. Both are house trained. Unfortunately due to changed circumstances am unable to keep them any more. I am looking for the best, most loving home. Kennel for each dog also available.

To arrange for a chat, send me a PM.

CantonaGod

Hi,

I need to find a new home for a 7 year old Cairn Terrier called Jack. Jack is a placid, good natured dog used to people (incl kids) and other dogs, he is neutered had all his shots and is in good health. If you need any more info please PM me.

Based in South West but willing to travel if right home !

Hi, I am looking for a home for a 4 year old chocolate Labrador bitch, she is neutered is a lovely pet and a good watch dog, I need to find a home for her or else I have to put her to sleep after an incident where she followed sheep, she didn't kill any but once she showed that intention I sadly cannot keep her, I haven't the heart to put her down as she is a lovely dog and has been a great companion, she deserves a second chance please.
