you can't take them all home

As usual i was volunteering today, and just as i pulled up what did i see staring out at me? a wee red staffy pup!! aww he was so adorable.... So i am now starting to see why everyone said "you can't take them all home" Theres always staffies gettin brought in but never yet has there been a red one, and i do have a soft spot for the red ones!
I mean not for a second would i even think about takin Leroy back he's settled in great and he is such a good lad so well behaved and chilled out (polar opposite of Diesel) but i was so tempted just to slip this wee pup in my boot when no-one was looking! If only i had a bigger house and garden i would have

Melts your heart doesn't it

Aww I hope he goes to a good home! I daresay he will - reds are quite popular at the moment! Though unfortunately, that can be their downfall.

yeh well my oh text a guy we kno who has a red staffy bitch just now cause he had said he was looking for another, so i'd like that cause then i'd know he was in a good home and could maybe even visit

Yeah, you can't have them all, but hopefully he goes to a good home soon

Too many dogs and not enough homes, so sad

It would be very hard to avoid ending up with them all sitting in your living room

I couldn't work in a rescue as my house soesn't havbe enough hidey holes to stash them all away

That'd be good! I hope that works out for you!

I know exactly what you mean about not having a bigger house and garden, I think I would have the same issue I fall in love every time I go to Woodgreen

oh the temptations of working with rescue dogs eh! Hehe, what type of rescue do you work for? Is it a chain like RSPCA or dogs trust? I hope he's interested in the pup though! Nothing better than seeing them go to a good home and watching them grow

I would be the same I just couldnt resist! I wish I had a big farmhouse and acres of land and I would defo have them all.......well most of em!

Aww bless I hope the pup gets a forever home... such a shame that so many don't get the homes they deserve but good to know that the dog homes do their best for them

I'd be going to work with a coat with poachers pockets

It would be soo hard I would end up with a houseful of staffies if I worked in a rescue

I think you do a wonderful job but it must be heartbreaking having to not bring them all home

I would have a house full if I could. I need to win the lottery and buy a mansion with acres of land and adopt thousands of dogs!

That must have been so tempting! I'm not allowed any more dogs or I would be tempted to get a rescue

Its just the local council run stray dog shelter, i'm just volunteering til i go to college in sept to study animal care, then hoping to go on to study dog behaviour - really curious as to what makes them tick and would love to try and help rehabilitate troubled dogs. Cant wait til i can just work full time with them
