Hello all. First Posting here.

My family and I are returning to the UK from 2 years of disaster in Spain. We have found it practically impossible to find accomodation becasue of our animals, and so, for now, we have the absolutely horrible decision of having to re-home them until we can get on our feet again...unless someone will rent us a farmhouse with land !!

We have 13 dogs, and 7 cats. Most of which we have rescued during our 2 years in spain.

We are able to make arrangements for our smaller dogs, and have reduced our problem considerably in doing so, but our real problem is that we have some larger dogs: 2 siberian husky crosses, brother and sister: 2 Northern Inuits, a male and female We also have a Beautiful long haired white GSD.

We also have a slightly smaller Spanish Catalan sheepdog, who had her tail and most of her ear tabs cut off, (they do it to stop them bleeding if they get into fights protecting the sheep or goats..!!),
Finally there is a small retriever-like dog.

All dogs are Microchipped, Full Passports, Full innocculations, etc

Details: Joey and Phoebe Husky Cross
China Blue Eyes, Grey and White, lovely dogs, fantastic nature. I know that huskies get bad press, but trust me, these two are absolute angels. They have been with other dogs, and cats all thier lives, and are affectionate and well behaved. The only trait they display that is akin to husky behaviour is that they are escape artists, and just want to run !! They normally come back after 20 mins or so.. but that is Spain, where they just explore the mountains that we have around us... no road dangers, no people, no wild animals... Anyone who can foster or home them will have to understand that they need to be walked on the lead (or preferably jogged on the lead, that is how my daughters do it...boy are they fit !!)
They will play ferociously...it sounds as tho they are killing each other...but its play..they never do it with any of the other dogs...and we have chihuahuas too !!)
Phoebe will sing on demand...just say "Sing Phoebe Sing" and she will hold a conversation with you !! bizarre.
Joey and Phoebe will sit on your lap, the sofa, and will squeeze on a chair behind you whilst you eat and rest their heads on your shoulder...watching every drop of food...Sorry...but we have a relaxed attiude to our dogs !! If you dont like them doing it just say "down!" (We actually put extra chairs out for Joey and Phoebe, and they will sit at the table with perfect manners, in the hope for the odd scrap...)

Willow (Pie), and Pete: Northern Inuits.
Simply stunning dogs. They are the softest natured, most well behaved dogs, If we leave the gate open, they just lie down, no wandering tendancies at all. They are friendly to ANYBODY, and display 0 guarding attributes.. They are 37 Kilos.. !! Pie likes to sleep in a small room with a light on...She gets a little spooked by Shadows, and loud music.
She gives the most adorable cuddles, and is VERY intelligent and will come and talk to you to be let out. Pete is very simple, will chose a cat to follow for the day, and will just watch it..very well behaved, very noble looking, and loves cuddles..

Casper : Long haired White GSD.
SImply the softest cuddliest dog I have ever owned. Will ferociously guard, (our neighbour who has known casper for 2 years cannot even get NEAR the gate if we are out..)
If we INVITE a guest in, and simply ask them to say HELLO CASPER, whilst we instruct Casper (GOOD BOY).. He will be on his back asking for his belly to be rubbed by them within 30 seconds ..
I know all owners try and say that they would trust their dog with a baby and you sit there thinking hmmm...but cliched tho it is, Casper has this nature.. He is submissive to ALL our other dogs, Chihuahuas included.. but when it comes to guarding, he is in a league of his own..top dog..and we never trained him to do a thing !! It is his absolute nature to be guarding and protective, yet when he feels no threat, he is a real big baby..
Casper will sit by the door crying if he needs a wee etc.

Winnie: Catalan sheepdog.
Crazy winnie, as we call her because she tries to round up the wind !! just runs round in circles !! mad !! beautiful friendly dog. SHe does chase the cats, but they dont understand the herding instinct ....she can be noisy if the cats dont get the idea....which they dont !!!

Gumby: small retriever looking dog..
We found gumby by the bins, and bought him home, where he simply flourished and is the most affectionate dog. He is quite young, and will spend hours licking the huskies, or the cats !! I think he is expecting food.. He will sit on your lap, cuddle, is obedient, but is a little crazy like winnie. *winnie kind of mothered him when we first got him home..) We would prefer winnie and gumby to go together.

All our dogs are fully passported, microchipped etc. We have speant an absolute fortune on our dogs, and clearly we want them to go to good loving homes.

All dogs on a fostering arrangement, with view to permanent homes if we cannot get ourselves sorted in a reasonable time.
We will pay for food and vets bills during the fostering period.
All our dogs are in PERFECT shape and ideal weights. We will advise nutrition and food requirements..

This is a 100% genuine appeal. We are desperate. We have nowhere to live, and cannot solve our own accomodation problem until we can find homes for some of our dogs..these are our babies..

PLEASE PLEASE help.

Yes, sorry, mainland UK only.
To clarify, this is FOSTERING request. It may lead to full time ownership, but that depends on how our situation pans out.
We want someone who can Foster with a view to full time ownership, just in case. Otherwise we would have to go through it all again.
But also, it means that if we find a house or property soon, we will take them back...
Full fostering contract will be written.
I know this sounds terribly official, but thats the way it has to be...sorry.
 
I have a Northern Inuit and they are the most wonderful pets. If you get stuck speak to Penny at Northerninuit.net she also rehomes dogs and breeds shepherds. She is truly lovely and I know she would help you anyway she could. She bred my dog Jinks.
 
R THESE DOGS NEUTERED, COS IF NOT PEOPLE WILL ONLY USE THEM AS BREEDING MACHINES FOR MONEY, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY R NEUTERED B4 U HOME THEM.
I KNOW SOMEONE WHO RESCUES USING CONTRACTS TO MAKE SURE THE DOGS ARE CARED FOR PROPERLY AND RETURNED TO HER IF THE OWNER CAN NO LONGER KEEP THEM!! MABE U SHOULD LOOOK INTO THIS TO MAKE SURE U FIND GOOD PERMANENT HOMES.
AND AS FOR THE LADY WHOS FRIEND RESCUES AND BREEDS GSD AT THE SAME TIME THIS IS !!SHAMEFUL!! you couldnt possibly rescue and breed, the whole point in rescue is to stop the amount of bloody breeding to reduce the rescue!!! SO THAT IS JUST UTTER CRAP!!!
