redditchlady Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Is this the same friend that is due to call Donna (Daunting) from Hope. Wasn't Donna waiting for the ok to go round to assess, or is this a different friend with a Staffie X Kazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisebt Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 It is the staffy cross, Donna hasnt offered to assess, shes offered to try and help, but things have got a bit carried away. We are trying to sort this poor dog and were asking in my Original Post for advice..... otherwise the only option for this dog, due to the way in which she turns, is going to, sadly, be PTS... there is no way she could be rehomed expecially with so many dogs who dont have such problems needing homes.

redditchlady Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I see. So now no one is going to assess it?? Can she get in touch with a good specialist trainer I know it is likely to cost, but at this present time I can't see there being much else of an option. If I remember rightly there isn't an option of returning the dog because of where it came from. When your friend took her to the vets, did he/she take blood samples etc. Sometimes just a standard vet check will miss underlying problems.

tracey.s Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 HOPE have got a behaviourist for this dog kazz but, have been waiting over a week for a call from the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redditchlady Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 So in other words, there is help already. Then there is nothing anyone can do to help if your friend hasn't called them. Kazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thankyou Tracey Yes we had a behaviourist lined up , our expense . Donna tried to make contact , Donnas numbers have supposedly been passed to Becks , Becks has decided as she is within her rights not to contact us. (Becks lives in the same area as Daunting ) Thats fine , but there is help there if needed Donna x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyrose Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I understood, from what I have read elsewhere that the owner of this dog works strange hours and has tried ringing but has no answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) I understood, from what I have read elsewhere that the owner of this dog works strange hours and has tried ringing but has no answer The owner has not rung , Donna has rung and got no answer ...you have it topsy turvey 3 mobile numbers by the way , as no landline number Edited January 23, 2007 by Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daunting Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) And Becks is welcome to ring at any time Louise said she has spoken to her this morning about the thread and still no call Louise - tell Becks to get to library in Gorseinon and and use their PC set up to get online rather than having you do all this on here and elsewhere, we are going round in circles now !! Just had phonecall from Becks - and got cut off so will be phoning her at work later Edited January 23, 2007 by daunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtychicken Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'm glad that you've started this thread here Lou as I missed catching the update on DP before the thread was deleted There certainly seems to be a break down in communication somewhere but I do hope your friend gets it sorted, for the sake of her dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
