Hiya my good friend lost her cocker spaniel Alice last week, she had to have her put to sleep due to an inoperable tumor on her face, she is as you can imagine heartbroken. She has been to rescue centers RSPCA, HAMPOLE but can't find anything suitable, I was wondering if anyone on here has any ideas for her....she is looking for a small medium sized dog who enjoys walks, car rides camping, alice went every where with her, slept on her bed, where ever kellie was alice wasnt far behind her. She has 2 boys 14 and 7, a large secure garden, and lots of love to give :) Thanks for reading.

oh forgot to add she isnt looking for a "FREE DOG" she is willing to pay for the right dog, home checks welcome.

I will keep my eyes open for you hun

Have you tried the breed specific rescues on rain rescue site? Or the council dog pound?

I found Tessa on preloved...you never kno you might see the perfect one on there....i dont think poor tessa has ever had a doggy bed or slept indoors lol

hi hun , you could try nigel ( pets@home )

have you seen the little greyhound on rainrescues site (rotherham) i think hes - he looked lovely

I think thats Alfie your on about :/ wont he grow to be big? hes absolutely stunning though our greyhounds soft as a brush x

Get your friend to look on here luv

yes its alfie - im not sure if hes finished growing as he looks very much like my other greyhound and shes only small/medium- isnt he lovely
hes the same color and everything

He has got such gorgeous eyes

All the rescues are bursting with dogs to rehome. If you ask her to be more specific on the type of dogs she likes and age, sex etc then I am sure we can come up with some ideas.

It would be great if she could take a dog from rescue as rehoming seems to be at a standstill at the moment.

awww he is lovely i will show her tomorrow....i'd think about having him myself but allready got rottie, jack russell and a border collie, cat, and beardered dragon lol FULL HOUSE.
ive heard grayhounds can be really affectionate

they are very affectionate - mine are sat at the bottom of my feet as i type on here. the both lay together on their beds - so loving and great with my kids 4 and 8 (who are very noisy) couldnt ask for a better natured dog

I dont think we know of many resue centers round here except rspca and hampole, she does have a car. We live in Goldthorpe, nr rotherham.
Alice was a cocker spaniel, i dont think she minds what dog it is so long as temprement was good, she has gone from a st bernard to a yorkshire terrier today lol......bless her.

heres my two

Hello

I am going to close this thread and if anyone has any doggy offers please can they pm the original poster. I am closing it because people are just putting their dogs for rehoming/sale onto the end of the thread. There has been lots of good advice or where to look for a new dog :)

Thanks
