  9. Urgent Rescue Help Needed

    in Poundies in Need\Urgent help required

    Posted

    I need to find a place for a 2 year old Alsation cross, small collie sized, said to be good with kids and dogs, neutered. I met him and he seems lovely but since his owner was evicted he has been living in a van parked in the street! If anyone can help me please pm me, I can help transport him on saturday, but I can't fit him in here at the moment! Thanks Claire

  11. Trying Again After A Loss?

    When I lost Jake, despite still having two dogs, I felt lost. In fact a few days later I saw a dog called Jake a collie cross and very nearly adopted him, but Jake was still here in spirit so I was glad when the other boy was already reserved. It was 4 months later when we adopted Bonzo but I deliberately chose a different breed. Then I lost George two months after that, it was awful. And I would have stuck at two but as soon as I saw Leo 6 months later I just knew he was for me (in fact he was homed and then returned - fate)

    You will know when the time is right, and when you see the right dog you will feel a connection, and often when you least expect it and often with a dog you wouldn't normally consider.

    Good luck in your search, and don't feel like you are replacing Sky because you know deep inside that's not it at all, I often feel these guys are like Jaks legacy, I had to lose him to gain them if you know what I mean xx

  18. Adoption

    Yes, I think adoption is right, if a mother can't raise that child safely.

    My father has recently traced his adoption records. He was adopted by a good loving family. His records showed his birth mother to have been a married lady who had an affair and lost everything, including her other children, and selflessly gave him up. I think any mother who lets her child go because she can't possibly raise him is brave, and I see nothing wrong with a family adopting, I would have loved to but my life changed and now I can't.

    I doubt we will ever see many babies up for adoption again as times have changed so much with abortion and single motherhood more common, most babies for adoption now have problems or have been removed from their parents.

    I don't see any stigma associated with adoption anymore, but that may be just because a few members of our family are adopted and so it's not an event as such.

    I don't think adoption should be used as an alternative to contraceptive any more than abortion should.

  25. Puppy Or Child

    Child. And I like to believe every human being would do the same. I love my dogs, all dogs in fact, and whilst I love my children I wouldn't say I love kids, but as a human being I could not allow another human to die. I saw the news report tonight of the old man hit by two cars and then car drivers and people left him to lie in the road. Perhaps he would have stood more chance if he had been a dog x
