tryed to rescue a staffy

i tryed to rescue a staffy this morning from the tiverton blue cross rescue centre all was goin great passed the the form that they asked use to fill out and email them we found a dog that sounded great she was put up as good with dogs children and cats so it was all goin really well she was the only staffy we could find in a rescue center that was aloud to go to a home with other dogs tiverton is about 80 miles from us so when i rang up for the second time to book a view and meet with my boy i asked to speek with the behaver lady and then it all went wrong we then find out that she was a biter and as my niyce comes over all the time we had to say no the lady said she only bit when she was not payed attention but we couldent risk it so now we are gutted and are back to getting a puppy but we tryed

Awww thats a shame, but if she's a biter i wouldn't class that as being good with kids personally.

thats what we thought we even put on the form that they asked use to fill out that she came over all the time and they still let it go ahead

hmmmm I don't think thats very good if you did specify

Aw such a shame. I'm not surprised you're gutted, to have it go that far and then a let down, such a disappointment.

Good luck finding a pup

we have found a pup from the breeder that we got harley from but we thought if we could rescue one it would be better but no luck

Sorry to hear that, knock backs are pants epecially when you are trying to help. I was knocked back for one before Moo, I was all set to pick her up, took some time off, and when I got there, the day after I had the call, they had re-homed her to someone else, wtf!! All I'll say is please still choose to re-home, sometimes it isn't always easy but you will be doing such an amzing thing XxxX

Such a shame, you shouldnt give up on a rescue yet though there are LOADS of staffs in centers up here, mostly crosses. Few month ago one center had a litter of males about 5, 6 month old staffy crosses =( so sad x

we have looked at all the rescue centers around are area they all say no dogs she was the only 1 that was ment to be good but we just cant risk it

i understand how frustrating it is =( Henry can be really funny with other dogs, we took him to a few centres before we found Missy, and she's perfect =D it will happen if you are patient xx

Awww such a shame! =( .. we looked into rescue before we got skye but my closest kennel's didnt have many that met the criteria to suit vinnie etc most of them been male and obv we wanted to play safe and have opo sex paired, so we went with a buying another pup too.
Sometimes even tho you try, things happen and it cant be helped.

Just don't rule out a rescue too soon, if your willing to travel 80miles then there will be a perfect one that truely needs a home not far Xx

bad luck
hope it works out next time for you

what a shame, good luck in finding a pup

Awwww what a shame. As everyone else says its a shame 2 give up on a rescue there really are sooooo many needed homes and so many out there that would suit u. Pregnant mums are coming into rescue all the time if its a pup your after. When we decided to rescue Ty i was after a little pup and phoned 4 local rescues near me. 1 offered me the pick of a 8 week old litter, one offered me Ty 6 months, and the other 2 had a 12 week old and 18 week old. We decided on Ty as we thought the others being so little would find homes more easily and Ty had a few issues from being abused although has always been a angel with my kids 1 and 5 at the time x

yes how upsetting that must have been.. so close to bringing her home.

At the right time, another staffy will come along I am sure of it. You are doing a wonderful thing !
