lazyhound Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Poor little Bruce I can't stop thinking about him. Do we know if he is cat and dog friendly yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoT Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) All we know is that he's only used to being with his elderly owner - he's not used to dogs (and presumably not cats either). So EASBTC can't say for sure what he'll be like with them. He's in kennels near his owner's family, in Essex, but EASBTC are trying to line up a foster home ASAP for him, to get him out of the kennels. A permanent home would be better of course!

ranirottie Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) oh my, I think hubby would kill me if I offered to foster him as I already have one oldie staffie coming in ,but you can only get killed once can't you!! Can they find out if he is ok with other dogs?x Edited December 3, 2008 by ranirottie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranirottie Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 who me? I need to find out if he is dog friendly before I start a "make hubby feel guilty" campaign,plus I need to see how Rosie fits in as well. But no is not a well used word in this house!! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 fingers crossed Cher. He looks so much like Stanley he's breaking my heart. If we weren't going to France for Christmas and New Year I'd be twisting my OH's arm too to foster him. But then he'd still have to get on with other dogs.

Mrs Mop Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I thought that was Ellie when I first saw the picture, she is about 10 years old, black with a grey face. If he is half as good as Ellie he will be a wonderful dog who gets on with other dogs and people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 well I could foster till new year and then you could take over, hows that? x Excellent solution! Noticed on the EASBTC website that they state you shouldn't have two male dogs in the same home. Think Kai would suit a nice pink glittery collar? If they are serious about that they are losing out on a lot of potentially good homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) lots of people think that you shouldn't mix bitches together because "they fight to the death" but I always have bitches and I have had up to ten here at a time with no hassle. I think perhaps they may think that a staffie male may try to be dominant over another male but if they stick to that rule without taking each individual dogs temperament into consideration then it sure does limit his options. He looks gentle enough,poor lad. I wonder if they will dog test him if they are asked? x ps : I am serious about fostering him over Xmas/New Year if you could have him after that. If they agree of course. x Edited December 3, 2008 by ranirottie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendbert Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Poor boy Cher, are you in contact with the rescue themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Cher, I've also had staffie and staffie cross bitches together with no problem and had several boys too. Kai is used to having an older staffie boy around - it's all he's ever know up until recently so I wouldn't think he'd be a problem. If EASBTC agree, and Bruce got on ok with my two then yes I would take him in the new year when we're back from France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
