Looking for a friend - dog needs new home

[lynz88]

Not quite sure where to post this so am putting here...

Wondering if anyone can or knows of someone that could give an older dog a good retirement home? Dog is a golden retriever/German shepherd. Stipulation is that it obviously has to be a good home but also ideally has a good amount of outdoor space to run around. His owner sadly passed away.

He's around 11 years old and good with other animals - has lived with cats. No known health issues. Not massively active now apart from 2 walks a day at the moment.

Can’t help but he looks such a lovely boy I really hope he finds a home soon.

Can't help. But posting to keep the thread up.

What part of the country is he in?

 

[lynz88]

thanks @Amymay Again at the moment, St Albans area

How sad, maybe more details may help eg how old? Good with other animals?

 

[lynz88]

good point @nagblagger - I've just asked for more details.

ETA - added some more details.

 

[Amy May In A Manger]

Oh, please, please, please someone have him

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Bumping the thread, hope he finds a new home soon

How very sad, poor old chap. I really hope someone can offer him a nice safe home for his remaining years.

Aww. Lovely lad. The oldest one I ever took on was 16! He lived 18 happy months with me. Someone must have space for that sweet old fella.

 

[lynz88]

I'm hoping so He's so sweet. I'd take him but I'm not set up for a dog

My Lurcher would drive him nuts! She’s a menace with other dogs. I’d love to help the old lad otherwise. There’s a group called golden oldies.

 

[lynz88]

Is that a FB group?

 

[meesha]

He looks lovely, local Facebook or neighbourhood groups with a picture of him and good description may find a home. Someone local might recognise him from daily walks and take him in...

Fingers crossed.

He looks lovely. I have shared with my friends in Surrey.

Fat fingers. It was a web site but can’t find it now. May well be something the dogs trust could help with?

 

[lynz88]

[conniegirl]

Can his current vet suggest anyone? My aunt got 2 dogs that her vet had heard needed a home.

They likely have already asked but will mention. I have also asked my horse vet (who tried to convince me to take him lol) it's just about spreading the word
