You may have seen my thread before - but what it is is we have a 5year old staffy black and white....... she is the most loving little dog around and loves attention and cuddle and loves to lick you to death.........

but we cant keep her in our flat so we need someone who would look after our dog for around 3 months while we get a new flat were we can have pets again......

we love her to bits and dont want to get rid of her permentatly, just until the lease is over on this and we can move

hope someone can help xx

I hope you find a suitable temporary home cheeky :(

do you have any pics of her, and can you tell us a bit more about her? sometimes that helps :thumbsup:

(sorry, I'm rubbish with staffies, so every one I've had here has wound up going for my own dog :( )

.... we need someone who would look after our dog for around 3 months while we get a new flat were we can have pets again......


How can you be sure you'll get somewhere in three months? Not being awkward, just wondering whether there'd be a chance that the 'foster family' might end up being a permanent arrangement!

there's a thread running about renting with pets SHsheff, which suggests that finding pet accommodation isn't as hard as it has been in the past, with contact details for at least one agency which is more helpful than average :thumbsup:

I was asking, Strix, cos my boy would love to 'have a dog', but I'm unwilling to commit to years of dog-ownership due to my working full time and him being a growing-up teenager... we're currently considering fostering support dogs for around six months at a time (hard though it would be to let the loved one go of course) so was just wondering about the reality of this particular dog truely going back to his owner after three months. :)

I suppose it would be a good idea to contact an agency such as the RSPCA or Dogs Trust, and see if they are able to offer 'back up' in this venture, taking the dog for rehoming if the 'fosterer' is left in the lurch

the dogs trust are running a scheme for fostering to allow dogs to be returned to their owners instead of putting them through the whole rescue process, but it's specifically for women in prison ;), but it shows that they are already examining the number of dogs who don't really need a new home, just a bridging space for a while :)

make sure there is a hard and fast agreement over such things as vet bills, and if the dog is insured, make sure there are no problems wrt any arrangement made (and I'd tell the insurers that it's a 'friend' who's looking after the dog ;) )

Some good points there, Strix. I guess that, in taking a Support Dog, most of your points are covered because (my understanding is) the fosterer is deemed to be providing accommodation in the evening and weekends whilst the overall responsibility remains with the association. Quite a different picture to an informal arrangement. Thanks for focussing my view!

goodluck:thumbsup:

If you fancied short term fostering, have a chat with RainRescue SHsheff :thumbsup:

Ok will do, thanks Strix. Have to say, my personal take on dog fostering is about the same as grandparents' view on grandchildren - great to have, love 'em to bits, glad to hand them back to their parents! Just call me practical :)

well that's one reason we've been known to do it - we get to have a dog short term, and when we go on holiday or visiting we're back down to just the one, relatively easy to handle, houndlet :thumbsup:

only thing is, there's a settling in period for each dog (unless you have a Jade type Rott :P ), so if you can handle that practically and smoothly, you've got it cracked :thumbsup:

Ah so, Bude has been replaced by a Wunderhund? :hihi:

Teehee. The memory of that wagging erect tail heading moors-bound will stay with me for a long while! ;)

~she good offlead and dose come back

Id like to add there very desperate to keep her and not have to sell her but due to curcumstances they really cant have her back at there flat not even for another night please could anyone help.

Also strix where can they take her if they cant find noone as they have to find somewhere for her by tonight please they are planning on handing over o police and this worries me id take her back and keep her seperate from my dogs to stop this but ive allready got one foster dog and she dosent go o her new home till another 2 weeks if everything goes well

PLEASE ANYONE CAN U HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry i havent been in touch internet has been down and been desperatly been trying to find her some were for her to go for a few month if nobody will then the only other option is to let her go to a home.......... :(

She has to go by tonight and we havent found anywere by tonight then she is going to have to go to a shelter or something........ CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Would you be able to take her after your foster dog goes leebois2?

It's a long shot because I know that they have a waiting list, but try the RSPCA due to the urgency perhaps they might help, lots of others too that might help, try Rotherham dog rescue, pets@home on here and post on dogpages, lots of rescues will advertise the dog whilst she stays with you until a new owner comes up.

Good luck I hope that you find someone to take her.

they cant as one of her dogs has gone for her twice

she cant stay with us as we are not allowed pets and she has to be gone by tonight thats why we wanted someone to foster her for a few month until we got another flat but like i said if not then we would have to give her to full time home and if all that fails then we will have to take her somewere i dont know! please help

I am really so sorry to hear of your situation, but (and I am truly sorry I have to say this) you have to look for a rescue place right now, it is almost too late today already, please don't wait around waiting for someone to offer to foster her because it probably will not happen.

Aww I feel ever so mean because I know how you must be feeling, but you have to find a place for this dog today...today is almost gone now!

i no......... i dont know what to do i wish someone would just have her for a few month or even take her in......... the problem of taking her to a rescue right now is there all full and if i could it is going to be hard to get there as i dont drive and because of the snow :(

If anyone was to foster her for a while - would you pay for food, any vets bills etc? I'm really hoping that someone will come forward to help you.

Where are you?

they are based at longley

Aargh I would really love to help but just can't :( sorry

Anyone else????

:( please i dont want to have her put down or anything

what is she like with kids etc?

:( please i dont want to have her put down or anything

Have you rang around rescues today? they will close soon, you are putting yourself in a corner, I am worried for your dog, please act don't sit here waiting for help.

great with kids

yeah rand rspca - theres a waiting list i dont know what to do

Pm sent...........

Hi cheeky did you get my pm?

Well i sent her/him a pm and got no reply, they were online at the time. Hope they got sorted.

They may not have got it lubylou I have noticed before that there is sometimes a lag in people going offline and it showing as such, they will see the pm when they next come on, are you going to try fostering the dog for them? I do hope so, I would love to see a happy ending here against all the odds.

Well i sent her/him a pm and got no reply, they were online at the time. Hope they got sorted.

Done the same here- she was online and viewing other threads when I sent it, went offline about 25 minutes later according to the forum. I'm really hoping that between people on the forum we may be able to help the poor dog out.

I hope every thing has worked out cheeky, i wanted to help out but i'm snowed in.

They have noone yet there still looking.

Have they rang round the rescue's etc? Really they ought to have been doing this ages ago seen as there are long waiting lists and with the current state of rescue dogs, just as backup plan incase a fosterer couldn't be found. So if the dog can't stay beyond tonight, what's going to happen now then?

I don't know if I'm the person you're talking about but suspect I might be as I've had a couple of PMs from people on here - but they arrived this afternoon, and I've been at work all day and just logged on now. Ahah. Just realised, I logged on very briefly from work to see what was happening tonight with the snow then shut down the Forum and went back to work.

Anyway. I've only just got the messages. I'm a bit confused about the timing of all this - you say you've just moved into a new flat, but expect to be in a new flat in three months? Have you not just signed up for a six month assured shorthold tenancy? How can you be sure that you'll definitely be able to find a landlord who will accept your dog?

I'm really sorry, I love animals and can imagine how desperate you're feeling. But, I work full time and although my teenager is full of good intentions to look after a dog I am realistic enough to know that I'll be the one stuck with it in practice.

No I was just commenting that I has contacted cheeky99 :)

No I was just commenting that I has contacted cheeky99 :)

Ah ok. Sorry! :) Has cheeky managed to sort out something for his/her dog, d'you know?

As far as I know - no. :)

Cheeky if you still have her tomorrow, i can come and take her, but and please don't think i'm being funny here, it would have to be full time.
We have a son who is autistic and he wouldn't handle the dog leaving again once he had bonded with her.
The offer is there if you can't get sorted.

What a fantastic offer, I so hope that this works out for everyone happily :)

How can you be sure that you'll definitely be able to find a landlord who will accept your dog?We have a separate thread running at the moment about finding accommodation with pets and it's looking like it's easier at the moment, what with houses that have been standing empty and not generating any income

offering to pay a larger deposit to cover any damaged doors (which won't happen if you crate train the dog), and assure the landlord you'll either clean all carpets or pay for their cleaning before leaving goes a long way to swaying anybody who's just a bit iffy about the idea :thumbsup:

does anyone no if this dog found a home






http://creaturecomforts.weebly.com

No not yet but they do have some people to ring today if nothing gets sorted there taking molly (the staffy) to a rescue center

is molly 100% safe with kids and what is she like with cats

I dont believe any dog should be left alone with a child but yes shes safe most she would do is lick to death lol and she had lived wih cat and as far as i know she didnt bother with them

i know what you mean but i have a 11 year old and a 5 year old and just wanted to know if she as lived with children and how she gets on with them as my kids safety is most important to me

Whats happened to the OP. Yesterday this was URGENT, people are making offers to help but no replies; am I missing something here??

The OP has been online and I believe seen pm's so perhaps they are sorting this out with people before posting.

she has now gone to sy2006 to a perment home. My other half is taking it realy hard at the moment but had no other choice than to give her to a permdnt home

yes i have been online and have been replying and sending pm's thank you. Rather than doing it over a thread

It would be great to let all the people know that offered to take your dog. I'm still waiting for a phone call :)

Glad she's housed, though.

Just to let people know, Molly is settling in very well and is a wonderful dog, she really is a credit to cheeky and her other half who have trained her very well and obviously given her a loving caring home.
Thanks again cheeky.

glad this story had a happy ending, and i hope you, your family and molly have many good years together.

It must be a very difficult time for you all and its great that you were able to see clearly at that time and do whats best for Molly, even though that meant hurt for you, sometimes that is what pet ownership is all about, you must feel very sad but you made sure that she is happy and safe good on you both cheeky99 xx

I hope that Molly soon settles and has a wonderful life in her new home :)
