I am looking for advice more than anything so I hope you can help.
We have had our gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback for 7 years now, she came to us at 18 months from her breeder as a "long term foster". We love her dearly however I have been posted overseas with work for 2 years and we cannot take her with us on this occasion. It is the only time I will be sent overseas with the family and a job I never thought I would ever get hence why it had never been a concern.
DSIL had said they would have her but have now changed their minds - change of their circumstances and DSIL has a badly broken ankle so doesn't feel able to take on a 2nd dog.
I am trying to contact her breeder, she has always said in the past if we were ever unable to keep a dog then to let her know first. I have tried ringing but there is currently no answer and I have sent an email. I am waiting to hear back but whilst waiting I am worrying this over in my head.
I really don't want to have to rehome her to a rescue as they are all overflowing, thats why the SIL option was best. We were planning on paying her a monthly amount for insurance and food etc to cover costs and then when we are back in 2 years she would come back to us.
I know I should just wait for her breeder to get in touch but I am panicking slightly as we are now due to go in about 3 weeks and only just found out SIL can't take her.
Any advice other than be patient for her breeder to get in touch?
