Thinking of rescuing a lil poochy

[Northern Star]

I keep my eye on the rescue centres regularly and ive seen this lil fella today and im really feeling i want to give him a home poor little mite

the only worry i have is being out at work during the day - but then again i know others who have dogs and go to work and i do think the little fella would still be better off here than stuck in a cage

what do you folks think cus im seriously falling for this lil un but dont want to make a rash decision

Bleakholt Animal Rescue

just look at him - how could anyone not love that breaks my heart to see them in places like this, i dont know the lil fellas background or whether he has been mistreated or just just abandoned but he looks a lovable little sort

[nics]

debs gfor it!!!

youve had a dog before so whats stopping you now???

im a big time animal lover and try n help animals in distress and in homes etc.....

if you get him he will be innoculated and everything no doubt and all he will probs need is som e 1 on 1 love and attention to make him feel wanted again

plus they will probs only ask for a donation to cover vets fee's etc.....and that will go towards maybe helping yet another lil pooch

if i can i drop off tins/bags of food and old blankets n towels when im having a sort out and they really appreciate it

[Northern Star]

Ah thats really lovely nics bless ya, my nana and me have always given to the local bleakholt shop here in town to help the animals

i think ill give them a call tomorrow from work and speak with them

He will be better with me than that orrible cage he is in

He looks ace! I'm a sucker for dogs, and have two myself so I'm bound to say go for it. He's a Jack Russell cross though, which means he'll be intelligent and pretty energetic - so if you leave him alone in the house all day he'll get bored and 'inventive'. If you're not houseproud and don't worry about things being chewed then you'll be ok.

He'll chew your new kitchen to bits Debs

But on a serious note, go for it

He'll give you plenty of exercise

[Northern Star]

Thats my other issue lol i wouldnt like things to be chewed but if he had plenty of toys and a good walk in the morning maybe he'll be ok

he deos look ace doesnt he bless, but seeing him there on that photo in a concrete lock up just tears me apart

Certainly a cutey, mate Lot's of Y's in the right places too

Will your records be safe though?

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

What's it like where you live? Could you get him a flap so he can go outside & run around when you're not there?

i can move the records that aint on a shelf so thats not too bad

my main concern was wether its cruel for him to be left whilst at work so to speak, but then i tell myself it can be any worse than being stuck in a place like that with no individual attention

No hun - i have a small yard out back but nowhere really to put a flap, id have to take him out in the morning and then again when i got home???? this is whats holding me back.

Of course the lil JR will be miles better off with you than where he is now. I reckon he'll definitely chew though. If you can cope with that, then fill yer boots!

On a slightly different note, what about cats?
Can be left alone no bother and just as many needing homes as dogs.

im highly allergic to cats and tbh i dont get the same from a cat as i do a dog

i think ill speak with them tomorrow n see what they can tell me, ive has a few dogs in my lifetime and none have been chewers of furniature suppose if he had plenty of toys n bones he may be ok, the centre should be able to inform me of his pesonality traits i spose

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

done deal then, you'll be bringing him home... no diggity

ah he really could be mine, just would depend on wether they see me fit as an appropriate adoptee they will visit my home to check its suitable which is another worry as i have only a very small yard so its not so cut n dried just yet

[tricky nicky]

my sister has jack russels and they keep each other entertained during the day so it may be a thought to get 2 of the little beauties!!!!
i would have a house full of dogs if i had a house!!!(1 bedroomed flat at the mo!!)
im out at work a lot and so is cartouche so we leave the radio on for dexter and hes fine, as long as they get their walkies each day and plenty of love!!!!!
he is a beautiful doggie get him!!!
