Went to rescue Centre

I thought won't hurt just to have a look
and yep I picked the only day of the week they are shut. I took the mrs but filled the van with tools first so the mrs didn't fill the van with dogs
Went to another rescue place where the dog warden hands them in. You can reserve them and if in 2 weeks no one claims them, they are yours. But only had 4 dogs and all males

Dangerous i would be tempted to leave the mrs there and bring home the dogs

I would Dave but I was drunk one night and got her micro chipped , they just bring her fecking back

Oh, unlucky Mike!

So, are you going back when they're open?

Probably
I have always looked on various websites etc. Problem I have is I also have 4 cats and most rescue centres say this dog and that dog can't be rehommed with cats. I have always had cats and dogs and trust me I'm yet to meet a dog who hasn't been put in his place in the first 30 mins by the cat.
I want female 7 years old + who's dog friendly.

I think everyone should visit a rescue shelter, just to open eyes. Not aiming that at anyone

I was in tears when we visited Battersea

Are you on the look out for a chum

If I see one that catches my eye and connects with Blue then yeah, but not rushing out to get another just for the sake of it. Would like to get an older dog to help Blue socialise also and I think the older staffs often get overlooked and they need plenty of cuddles too

Are you cuddling me cos I'm an older staff member


This is one place I'm always checking

Breaks my heart! But

If I lived near battersea I would probably have another noe. They have loads of dogs there.
Even though it's miles away you have me looking on there now as well

Isn't she beautiful!

God I'd have them all if I could, but I was in tears when I went there Xx

It is upsetting. Thing is even the ones who seem bad act differently if they are in a stable and loving home. They give you the sad eyes and you end up wanting to rescue them all.

Cats know how to put a dog in its place! My big bermese wasn't one bit afraid of lexi and lexi never touched it. Shes a bit more outgoing with smaller normal moggies though, so i wouldn't trust her with them lol

Went to local RSPCA today. No female dogs that are good with dogs, cats and older children.
But while we was asking this dog walked in

http://www.rspca.org.uk/allaboutanimals/rehoming/petsearch/details/-/Pet/PEGGY/ref/BSA2003354/rehome/

and tried humping my leg and jumping up to lick my face shame she really hates cats as she was gorgeous. pics do her no justice.

Just phoed up about this one from Halifax RSPCA. Good with dogs, cats and kids

http://www.rspca.org.uk/allaboutanimals/rehoming/petsearch/details/-/Pet/CLEO/ref/BSA2005590/rehome/

he woman said at the RSPCA Hayley that they automatically put them down as no good with cats. They only change it if they get the time to access it

Hey Mike , I've got a 13 year old girl who is very dog and cat friendly ..............................interested ?? housetrained as well but can be a litle people aggressive at times

Seriously though have you not contacted Bob at Northern SBT rescue yet , sure he would love to hear from you and I know they are very open to circumstances rather then just say no no no

mailto:bob@sbtrescue.org.uk Bob Whittall 015395 30245 Between the hours of 11.00am and 7.00pm please

Aww good luck with your search.I hope you find each other soon

I need a girl, Blue doesn't like the boys.
I like the look of Rio on there but again a male.
Taz is cute

They do. I think about 80% that are put on there have their tail between their legs, poor things. Would give them all a home if i could

Best thing you can do mate is call or mail Bob , he works with other places countrywide

I will do. Probably at some point over the weekend

Good luck with your search Mike, hope you find the one you are meant to have. Have you tried the Dogs Trust, they have places all over too:

http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/searchcentres/default.aspx

Not checked them for a while. Thanks I'll have a look now

http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dog/1095600/smartie

she's a little love

Maybe it's just as well I only have a small garden, I would re home them all

Ahhh she looks like a real sweetie, bet she would fit right in Mike

Might phone tomorrow about her.

Well after plenty of research and looking constantly for the right dog. Today we brought home the gorgeous Snowy.
Seems a bit cold at the moment but were hoping she will warm to us. One of the main things that made us decide she was the one was the fact she didn't have a * face
Pics of the gorgeous Snowy

lol @ Mike you loonie pmsl

you've got a talent for snowdogs though Mike

I was thinking that would be the perfect dog but maybe not, he will leek on the carpet

Took Blue for a walk. Opened the door and he crappped himself I said to the mrs I didn't think it was that good but the Blue went over and tried sniffing it's bum, then licked snowys left ear off her head. Mrs said don't flatter yourself Mike it's not, it's just the dog is thick
Here is a pic of the happy couple. Look how Blue still isn't sure and is leaning away from Snowy

aww Blue , we loves ya anyway brain or not

I think they are just waiting to be correctly introduced

Why why why did I look I so want to get a rescue girl but circumstances at the moment just don't allow it. Good luck with your search your baby is out there waiting for you to take her home.

Went to walk the dogs today and when I come out snowy's eyes had fell off onto the floor. Not long after this pic her head suddenly fell off, Blue was just trying to lick her better

Ohhhhh NO, well done Blue for trying to make it all better with a kiss

It's a sad sad day when your dogs eyes fall out and then their head falls off. I hope no one has to go through it

On the plus side we have 2 hazelnuts to eat

Hi, iv been looking on www.ineedahome.co.uk not sure if this would be too far out from blackburn. Theres a few older dogs and a lot of staffies may be worth a try
