2 year old black & white staffy cross labrador. Nervous around kids but a really lovable dog in every way!
I've had him since he was a pup and really don't want to get rid of hm, but I'm pregnant and my partner feels we should get rid of him.
So anyone wanting him can email me for contact details, only genuine people pls and only people who can take good care of him!

Can you provide us with some more info Daniellex ?

When people are interested in taking on an unwanted dog there are lots of things they like to know....

(pics would be fab - if you don't know how to post them, just Email them to me and I'll post them for you)

How long is he used to being left alone? Is he happy with this?
Is he ever destructive?
How much exercise is he used to?
How is he with cats?
other dogs?

A bit of a description of his personality & what he likes/dislikes?

Its best to answer these questions as truthfully as poss, because you want his new owner to take him on knowing exactly what to expect, otherwise there's a risk of him being rehomed again...

Can you provide us with some more info Daniellex ?...

He is never alone, he is used to other dogs, he's a soppy loveable dog that loves 2 climb up onto ur knee even tho he weighs a tonne, he is never destructive he is a happy dog who loves to play with his ball and go for long walks, i hate the word 'unwanted' cos there's only me that loves him more than this world its just that my partner is forcing me to get rid and i hate that. :(

Aw Danielle,

It's such a shame he's been tormented - I hope you manage to find a home for him, maybe even one you can keep in touch with so you know how he's getting on. Also, try and make sure that you stay in touch so that if they ever need to rehome him again, you could either take him back in the distant future or help them rehome him (prevents him getting stuck in rescue).

Good luck, and I will keep my eyes and ears open.

OK Daniellex, I understand this is hard for you :)
You say he is never alone... the reason I asked is because maybe someone might be able to have him, but they have to go out to work.
Do you think he would be OK left alone while they were at work or would he get upset?
Any luck with pics?

thats what i want to do, i wish i could just take my dog and run off but obviously i cant...lol. its a really hard thing for me to do because i have 'babyed' my dog so much and we have a really strong bond, its not fair at all but i seriously have no other choice.

i have left him alone before an he's usually fast asleep on the sofa when i get back, which he knows he cant do lol.
he has never damaged anything, apart from when he was a pup, he's a god boy lol.
only time he did anything was when i was out longerthan i was meant to and he'd peed in the kitchen bythe back door, at least it wasn nr the door n not anywhere els, and it was my fault for being lnger

Danielle, I feel so much for you in this situation :(
(though I'm desparately biting my tongue over the situation your bloke is creating here :suspect: )

Can I just ask how pregnant you are at the moment?

I ask, because if it's early days, and things don't go according to plan it is going to be even more difficult to get through without your constant companion and best friend :(

*takes group leader hat off*

I do wonder where the line is going to be drawn over bullying you in this relationship :rolleyes:

Mod me if need be - it needed saying :rolleyes:

Strix, 'm 6 n half months pregnant, i have waited this long bcause i've been dragging my heels and desprately lookin 4 a way to keep him...my partner is definately not an animal lover but its ifficult 4 me to do much because of the baby...believe me i'v not made things easy 4 him...

It's an awful situation for you to be in & I really wish I could help - If it were me I'd get rid of the fella & keep the doggie !! At least the Doggie wont answer back !

I feel really sorry for Daniellex, what a horrible situation to be in and when you're pregnent too. I hope things all work out and that you find him a good home.

A straw poll of women with dogs and kids on here would reveal a majority Danielle ;)

Anyway - as you've stated, your brother has teased him, so perhaps if he's as nervous round kids as you say, you are doing the right think here? :(

Though a baby isn't as threatening as a child, and I grew up with a Jack Russell renowned for hating kids, but had elected himself my guardian :)

I've revised my dogs/kids stance too - I've realised how young I was when left with a dog at the foot of my bed at night, and appreciate how comforting that was, and how much easier it was to get to sleep :)

Is he cage trained Danielle?

I cant imagine why if your partner loves you he would put you in this situation!



Me too Danielle, but I think both the dog and her would be better off with another home,
I just wonder if the poor thing has been tormented so much by one member of the family, and her oh dislikes the dog so much whats he like with it.

What a lovely boy Danielle. I wish you all the best in getting a home for him - I certainly don't envy you at this time.

My GSD X Collie and Collie X Jack Russell were 8 years old when I brought our first baby home. Until this time they had been our babies and we were understandably a little worried about how they would react to our little boy. They were wonderful with him.

Is there no way you could watch and wait...........?

Danielle - did you get anywhere with this poochie ?
