Hi. I am jane and i am owned currently by a 5yr old gsd a 3yr old alaskan mal and a 19mth old czech wolfdog plus 2 cats. I work for barnsley animal rescue charity (barc) i am going to pick up a 12mth old male blue staffy later today from a man who can no longer keep him. We couldnt take him in at kennels as we are full and already have too many staffies who have been with us over 12mths that we cant rehome. I have been looking for a smaller dog for a while and he sounded perfect. I have been told he is good with other dogs but isnt neutered yet but he hasnt lived with cats before. Obviously its really important to me that my cats are safe so any tips for introductions would be great. I have always had large dogs and have only ever been round staffies since i started at work so it will all be a learning curve for me. I also have 2 grown up kids aged 19 and 16. Hopefully all will go well and the temporary foster will turn into him living with me permanently.

Welcome from Madge and me and good luck with integrating your new boy into your family. You are doing a wonderful job and will know how to take things slowly with them all. Cats will normally rule the roost but he may need to be supervised at first.

Hi & Welcome from Flo and me Big Grin

I have no experience of cats with Staff's but I'm sure the cats are wise and wary enough. As mentioned above, if monitored closely all should be fine.

Thank you for rescuing thumbs up

hi everyone. Had a slight problem today. The man decided he wasnt ready to let go of D'Jango today....he wanted to wait till his son got home to say goodbye to him so I think I am picking him up in the morning now instead. I did see him tho and he is gorgeous....and huge!! Much bigger than i expected compared to the staffys we have in at work! I did take some pictures but i dont have a photobucket account so i cant post them on here just yet....but i will get round to creating one soon x

Hi everyone. Well I didnt get DJango after all, his owner decided to try and keep him. I have taken on a staffy that came into our rescue. He is nearly 6mth old and was a stray. I have called him Dude. I am going to post on a main thread because I am having a couple of problems with him and as a lifelong GSD owner I want to pick some staffy savvy brains Smile
