dino2387 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi, I am new to the forum and am looking for some advice if possible. The situation is this - I have two dogs and two cats and they all get on, kind of, but i am looking for a dog for my mother to adopt. I think that she would benefit from some animal companionship and thought that an older dog would suit her best. The trouble i am having is that although my mum has had dogs for most of her life, she is now not in too much of a good way herself, in terms that she would be unable to take a dog out on regular walks as she is almost unable to walk herself. She does has quite a large garden, but due to a possible move, the garden space will be reduced, although there still will be some garden space. Initially i was told that a greyhound would be good as they do not require to much walking, then i was told that maybe a smaller dog would be good. Basically i am looking for a dog that can walk well on a lead ( as this would mean that she could take him/her out for a walk) gets on well with other dogs and cats(for the times that either i take mine to her, or the adopted animal has to stay with us for a bit). Does anyone know of such a dog? Thanks for any help in this, Dino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi Dino Welcome to the forum Have you tried The Oldies Club as maybe an older, quieter dog would suit? Other than that I would try to make contact with a few rescues direct and explain the circumstances and see if they can help match your mum and a dog.
