i would give him to a rescue and not bothering get another one 4 owners in a week you should of knew better Rolling Eyes

You can not rehome a dog so the other owner can deal with the problem, give him to a rescue centre, rather than get a profit for him.

by Guest Sat Apr 14 2012, 18:43

Please please please just go to a rescue Crying or Very sad

, if you can get one to take him then at least he is not going to be messed around like he has been for the last few weeks. Please don't go looking for a substitute as it doesn't seem like you are ready to be an owner and have your hands full with your son. If you truly think something of your dog then selling him is not the answer , this will just pass him on to someone else whou could have a problem or worse. The rescue will judge him and make sure he ends up in the right environment with the right people and sorry if this means you don't get any money.

by Loz&Dan Sat Apr 14 2012, 18:46

He needs to be trained! Why would you want money for him? They have feelings too! Do the right thing.

by Guest Sat Apr 14 2012, 18:48

All i can say is poor poor dog getting passed all over poor thing, take him too a rescue and let them place him with a suitable owner who will give him a forever home.

by Guest Sat Apr 14 2012, 19:07

No wonder its got issues, noone will give it a chance.

Please don't get another dog, they are not just "things" they are living creatures with feelings. If your son hit you would you get rid of him for a better model?

by **bobs** Sat Apr 14 2012, 19:22

A dog is for life not to be dumped the first time there is a problem.
Deal with the problem it's not impossible.

by sil vanus Sat Apr 14 2012, 19:23

Yes contact a sbt rescue even though they are full,it's more important to find a good home rather than get a price for the dog.Have you not got family or friends who could keep the dog untill a suitable home is found?there is most probably a reason if he/she snapped ie..does it get enough exercise?which if not leads to frustration.Has it got space?etc..anyway I hope you find a good home for him/her,but think it through before you make a snap judgement.

by **Steve** Sat Apr 14 2012, 19:25

the reason is he been pass around like a balls for the last few weeks 4 soon to be 5 owners Surprised

4 owners in a matter of weeks?how old is the dog?

by **shakespearesdog** Sat Apr 14 2012, 19:38

The dog is probably feeling very unsettled and anxious. I suggest you give him to a rescue centre-with a donation-as rescues at the moment are very overstretched and every little helps.
Or you could make an effort and attempt to train him. A member on here took on a very nervous, un-socialized dog and is working wonders with him with patience and steady training.

by sil vanus Sat Apr 14 2012, 19:55

4 owners in a matter of weeks is a disgrace,the poor thing won't know weather he's coming or going.This is why so many staffs end up in the shelters and in the news for the wrong reasons when all they want is a loving stable home.No doubt he will just become another statistic of our great society.

by Guest Sat Apr 14 2012, 20:00

Hopefully its just one of them wind ups that comes along once in a while , doesn't seem to want to come back and defend himself, if not then I really hope the poor little dog gets the home he needs Sad

by **Kathy** Sat Apr 14 2012, 21:04

I thought things were going OK with the training?? Maybe needs some more time putting into this first before you make any drastic moves.

Does he get plenty of exercise? What food is he on?

by Skye86 Sat Apr 14 2012, 23:06

How old is this poor dog that's getting passed around like a bad penny? 4 owners? That's disgusting.

by **janey** Sat Apr 14 2012, 23:21

This is why I hope its a wind up!

by Skye86 Sat Apr 14 2012, 23:36

Oh that's horrible! I have a little lad, and yes his safety is my upmost importance, but seriously? He's probably nervous as hell from being passed from pillar to post! What happend to giving him a chance? Working on a reward system and keeping them seperated for a while! Jesus.

by **steve76** Sat Apr 14 2012, 23:37

i've been watching this topic and not once have you said why he went for your son, was there a reason ie he was jumping/climbing on the dog or trying to take something off him like food or a toy or approaching the dog whilst eating? but in an earlier thread you said he was fine with the previous owners kids! do you regularly exercise him for more than 30 mins at a time at least 2-3 times a day? a bored dog can become an aggressive dog and a possessive dog can as well, theses with constant training can be avoided

by Skye86 Sat Apr 14 2012, 23:38

And as for "selling" him! How would you feel if you passed him on to someone else and he actually hurt a child? Put him in a rescue home, PLEASE!

by **shakespearesdog** Sun Apr 15 2012, 01:04

The sad thing is I don't think this is a wind up, I see adverts like this everyday. People seem to lose all common sense when confronted by a dog. Straight Face

What is to defend? Its plain wrong!

by Guest Sun Apr 15 2012, 11:43

I'm just shocked reading this. That poor dog

Such a shame.

Another bloody statistic for the poor Staffies!

by Guest Sun Apr 15 2012, 20:25

what about dogs trust, where are you, it would help as maybe we can give you guidence on where to go x Sad

by Diwrnach Sun Apr 15 2012, 22:21

This is a wind up..... right?

by **steve76** Sun Apr 15 2012, 22:25

sadly, very unlikely to be a wind up

by Guest Mon Apr 16 2012, 00:36

The Op hasn't posted again, either embarrassed/ashamed, or this is a wind up. I really hope it's the latter.

by **steve76** Mon Apr 16 2012, 00:39

probably the 1st, won't want to listen to advice about a rescue center and just wants cash for the dog rather than a good home Straight Face

by Guest Mon Apr 16 2012, 01:09

What's happening with this poor dog?!

by Guest Mon Apr 16 2012, 01:19

Josie69, please let us know what part of the country your in, I think a few of us know of rescues that may help. Just remember he's not just an animal, he's a dog with feelings, yes they have emotions 2, they feel love, fear, stress, happyness, lonelyness and heartbreak. Please dont give up on him. If you really must give him away, the least you can do is give him a chance at a rescue. Let him live with some1 who can fufill his needs, because you know wha, a happy staffy is the best addition to a family any1 can have.

Im sorry he went for your son, and of course, he comes 1st. You can ring a behaviuorist and they'd offer you good advice over the phone. Please let us know

by **janey** Mon Apr 16 2012, 16:10

Hi Kelly,

Whether the member has a facebook page or not is of no importance to us.

The member has been given the relevant links and information needed to make the responsible steps for re-homing the poor dog in the correct manner and I hope they take heed of all the advise given.

As they have not responded I think it is only fair to lock this topic now.
