male staffy

just seen yet another staffy being given to a free home and keep thinking bout the poor lil thing everytime i look at it i think should i or shouldn't i , i'm not going to though as shay is still new and she still has not got over other dogs yet hope he finds a loving home

i think thats for the best-i would love to rehome loads of unwanted staffs but i think i only have the time (and patience) for his lordship at present. i always said if i won the lottery i would buy a big massive house with loads of land and rehome all the unwanted staffs.

yeah i wouldnt get it anyway its not fair on shay but its horribly and everytime i see one free to a good home it makes my heart sink as they could go to the wrong people:(

you cant think about it or it would drive you mad and yes you are right free ones are sometimes going to be snapped up by the wrong sort. its the reason i got Woody castrated -i had watched a programme on all the unwanted staffs and sat and sobbed my heart out. all you can do is the best for the one you have given a home to. x

yes I feel the same way.. wonder if our doggies realize just how good they have it !!

my heart breaks for all the unwanted pets out there....

dont be silly now of course he doesnt!!! i was so cruel i made him watch the programme with all the unwanted staffs and thru my tears i was saying " see how good you have got it lad, behave or mummy is sending you there too" he doesnt believe me tho!!

sounds like your Woody and my Jethro have got it pretty good !!

oh they certainly have. second on my list if i win the lottery is coming out to see jethro!

I know exactly what you mean - I'd like to take in every unwanted staff out there, and if I could, I would!

That's the main reason I won't breed litters any more - with the best intentions so many pups end up going to rescue kennels.

I was just looking at unwanted Staffs, its shocking how many there are and ones that are 'free to good homes' really sad

woo hoo.. that would be great !! Let me know if you ever do.. I will put the kettle on..!!

The most annoying thing about this is some of the stupid excuses for giving up their dogs, I saw one a few weeks ago where they had a 3 yr old Bitch ,free "to a good home " because it didn't get on with the puppy they had got , really made me mad when I saw it ,these people don't deserve pets ,but sadly in todays throw away society it is becoming more common.

dannii - you dont have to aplogise. you had your wobble but you got past it. you prob arent the only one but you were brave enough to hold your hands up

My heart truly breaks for the unwanted dogs out there....and where they might end up .....

over here there are always dogs free advertised on various sites.. so so sad....

What gets me is how could you advertise a part of the family free to a good home then let someone just take the dog how the hell do they know the dog now has a good home what kind of person does that they would have to kill me id never be that desperate to rehome a pet then asks for sympathy when something bad happens.

yes I feel the same way.

another reason I had Jethro desexed.....if he ever did father any puppies the thought of trying to suss everyone out and make sure they weren't lying and the puppies were going to a top home would be so hard.....people who look like 'nice' people can be really horrible, and yet other people who look rough as guts can provide the most loving homes...

what a dilemma!
