Rescue recommendations

[Rana]

Can anyone recommend any rescues who look at the individual home, rather than based purely on a standard form?

I know about Many Tears, but any other suggestions would be welcomed

Bit of a hike but I'm told they travel.....

Little dog Rescue rehome countrywide and match dog to home, excellent rescue. Lizzies Barn, based in South Wales but exceptional rescue and work with owners and dogs to ensure the right mix. Friends of the animals RCT, not too sure of their rehoming policies but always been a fabulous help when looking for places.

might be something here you can try?

What sort of dog you looking for?

 

[Rana]

Thanks both, will check those out

Not sure what sort of dog - personality more important than type. Needs to live with dog-confident cats and an over-confident 7 month old terrier bitch. I'm thinking of an older male dog, but still active and playful (or who will ignore Poppy Puppy's antics!). Also needs to be happy to be left alone as we both work (but I work locally so no commute and I go home at lunchtime, so not all day). Oh, and it needs to fit into our small house and garden (access to larger play areas daily so garden less of a problem).

Try looking through the Oldies Club site too. They have their own dogs and other rescues use the site to promote dogs. They are 7 and over so nowhere near actually 'old' in dog terms!! A couple of mine are oldie club dogs and still going strong!

homes4dogs in cambridgeshire have some lovely rescues. They have a website www.homes4dogs.co.uk and a forum with info on all dogs they have - they also accept that people do have to work unlike some of the rescues that state they will not rehome pups to people that work, I understand they don't want pups being left 'home alone' but like in your circs it would only be for a few hours when they would more than likely be sleeping/resting.

Love the sound of the Oldies Club! Do they have a website, or does it come up on Google?

Will have a look at Homes4Dogs - you're exactly right, it's a maximum of 4.5 hours, then an hour of walk/play/company, then 2.5 hours to sleep before party time at the stables. Poppy needs to be asleep all day so she can torment the resident Springers when she arrives at the yard

Battersea dogs home look at your individual circumstances in relation to the dog you want rather than a standard yes or no

They have some real sweeties on at the moment!

Thanks CG, will have a look now.

HB, that's interesting, I wasn't too sure if the "big" rescues would look at individual homes as they must be inundated with calls. I'll give them a go too

Thanks, will have a look at them too

Loving some of the oldies, breaks my heart to think of them in kennels

Sorry but I wouldnt recommend that place, none of the dogs are neutered, vacced or
wormed. Horrendous place.

Mine was - maybe I was lucky but then again I'm glad I've got her rather than leaving her in a rescue. It's not the prettiest place I agree but I went to rescue a dog that needed a home.

Oh, no ... made the mistake of looking. Now I desperately want Sparky!

We don't do the form filling thing, its all about a good old chat and home check, bt like CC says we are a distance.
