Many tears rescue

I highly recommend Dogs Trust .....
They are amazing at matching dogs to new homes...

they won't rehome to anyone with cats or other animals at all though which rules out a lot of otherwise eminently suitable homes.

Well they got him, adult dog is being very tolerant ( actually probably too tolerant lol). They spoke to rescue and vets about the current dogs hip problems and what provisions they would make for differing exercise needs now and in the future etc before going ahead so have gone in with their eyes open. They are making sure pup has time in his pen separated from B so she gets a break from him and getting them used to being walked together and separately so if in the future they need totally separate walks they won't stress about being separated. Apart from toilet training not going so well ( but it's early days and poor pup has had a lot of upheaval in his short life) it's going well.View attachment 87497

Very cute indeed!

Things must have changed. I've adopted 4 from DT into a multi dog/cat household.

DT operates all over the UK, one centre will not have exactly the same policies as another.

I think it depends on the dog they are rehoming. Can it live with cats/dogs/children?

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

That pup is seriously gorgeous! Just look at those ears!

There is only one centre and then the fosterers are spread out over the UK so the policies are the same.

My experience was also that they would rehome to households with cats and children etc dependent on the dog.

If you search dogs for rehoming on the Dogs Trust website, they have several that can be rehomed with cats.
We rehomed a lovely woofer from Dogs Trust last month and we have a cat.
Always ring the centre as well as completing the on-line form. We were turned down by HO , however we rang the centre, where he was being cared for. and spoke to the re-homing team . After 6 visits to get to know him and a home check we took him home !

I'm sorry but that's not correct. There's over 20 centres all over the UK and Ireland. It used to be the National Canine Defence League.

Gosh, that was quick, unless they were already into the process. Super cute pup!

 

[AmyMay]

Really gorgeous ?

Sorry, I’d thought it was MT you were talking about instead of the dogs trust.

Ah OK! Too many Ts!!

 

[blackcob]

Anyone see the MT post about 57 labrador puppies today - where did they all come from in one go?

Wow just looked. Ireland, but it says they are mainly in good condition? Can’t be a puppy farm?

 

[some show]

Why don't they say where they've all come from? Seems a strange thing not to be transparent about it.

 

[TheOldTrout]

What a lovely puppy!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Could be anything, a court case, seized assets, a contract for search dogs that's fallen through and someone's been left with a lot of green dogs etc etc

I think I read somewhere a contract(s) had fallen through

 

[Moobli]

I saw a video of all the happy wagging Labradors. I don’t think they’ll be hard to rehome at all.

 

[Equi]

I spent a long time reading their website. It’s really good to see one that has actual information on the dogs and long write ups and updates on each individual. Makes it clear they are actually interested in being transparent.

Yeah they're all really busy and happy with mega toy drive, was the first thing I thought.

 

[stangs]

What kind of contract involves almost 60 lab puppies?

 

[CorvusCorax]

**caveat, this may or may not be the case here**

Globally, Governments/companies/airports/police forces and armies etc etc need drug/cash/explosive/food/any other type of detection dog.
If they were bound for a country which has fallen into strife or the company which required them has gone bust since when the contract was first signed, then they're safer where they are.

We all coo when we see service dogs working, but they are part of an industry, bought and sold.
There is an element of wastage where any animal is bred for a purpose and that sometimes includes those who assist people with a disability, although on a smaller scale.

 

[Clodagh]

I don’t think they are puppies? There are always wanted ads on free ads sites for young labs to be trained as detection dogs.

Bred to become service dogs. Here is one of them.

But I do like being married! Brandy is old and frail now. When the kennels are built, just so there’s a time out option for youngsters, I will look then. These should find good homes anyway, I hope.
