After losing our wonderful 14 year old Staff at the end of the summer, we're now almost ready to invite a new 4 legged addition to our family. We're 'emotionally' ready, but, we are away for a few days at Christmas and it wouldn't be fair to take on anything now then disrupt it in a few weeks.
Ideally, we'd like to rehome a younger dog, or bitch, rather than get a pup as there's so many needing homes. However, we live on an Island and rehoming opportunities locally are very limited. I've made a few very tentative enquiries to mainland charities but they seem to want several visits, then may not be able to provide a required home visit. Whilst I fully support they need to know the potentil dog is going to the right home, for us, a mainland trip with the car is around £60, plus fuel.
So, if anybody knows of a GSD (apart from our Staff, I've always had them and was brought up with them, parents still have one), or a Staffie that will need a good home after Christmas, or, a charity/rescue that is happy to rehome to the Isle of Wight, please would you let me know?
We're currently 'doggysitting' OH's eldest son's Akita, 3 or 4 day a week as they have just had a baby. Never had anything to do with that breed before, but he's a lovely housedog. No brains whatsoever, he's the original blonde bimbo!
