Give a dog a home, Mac been in kennels for 7 years.

Just read about Mac who has been in a Barnsley kennel for 7 years http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/local/stray-south-yorkshire-dog-has-been-in-shelter-six-years-1-7385159. Tracked him down on the shelters site, looks a lovely dog can anyone here provide a home?

Problem is no-one is taking in bull-terriers, but chavs and lowlifes are breeding them at a ridiculous rate.

They should put a ban on breeding this type of dog, until all the ones in the dog rescue have been adopted. They probably make up about 70% of the dogs that are in rescues. So sad .

How cruel is keeping a dog in kennels for 7 years, that is most of its young and active life, I really really hate this, and little hope of him ever finding a home, poor poor Mac.

I hope that someone will give the poor Lad a chance at a happier life for his last few years.

Less cruel/unfortunate than putting a good dog to sleep though.

I'm sure the rescue centre have tried hard to find him a home.

Actually I think that its better to PTS in many cases and I promise you I'm a real dog lover, kennels are such a stressful environment for many dogs, how would we like to live all of our lives in prison and behind bars?

Rescues should be a short term thing and not a long term home, how can a dog find any sort of life fulfillment in there? I know that they are alive but what of quality of life? its just not enough

Sometimes the very people that try to be kind are really being pretty cruel, they are thinking in a sentimental way and not really thinking about the animal at all in a rational way...it must be the most terrible decision to have to make though I appreciate that, so sad that the poor animals have to be in this position.

And yes I am sure that they have tried their best to find a home, the homes just aren't there, what a rotten world we live in

I saw him in the Star yesterday, he looks lovely. He's been there since he was a puppy, poor thing. If I was in a position to have another dog, I'd have him straight away.

How many other dogs could have been rescued over the 7 years worth of kenneling/feed etc that's been spent on him? Hundreds?

He doesn't sound like a happy dog at all.
