Quick, help me find a rescue puppy NOW!

[monkeyfacegrace]

My sister is about to pay £800 fucking pound for a lab puppy.

Like, about to put a deposit down.

I'm trying to talk her into a rescue pup, but it'll need to be 8 weeks old.

A breed like a lab/retreiver/spaniel etc.

She won't have a lurcher or staffie yes I've tried

Help me quickly find some choices!! I'm googling like mad here!

[insanityscatching]

Joop is 14 weeks though.

[MitchellMummy]

Try breed rescue (all the breeds you list have them).

[emummy]

Try many tears rescue, they often have puppies

[Jenda]

Juno? www.manytearsrescue.org/display_mtar_dog.php?id=10939 . Sorry about link, on phone. Many tears often have labs and lab crosses as pups

[Jenda]

Flamingo www.manytearsrescue.org/display_mtar_dog.php?id=10760

[monkeyfacegrace]

Thank you, Juno looks lovely.

Flamingo is too old unfortunately, as is Joop

[LEMmingaround]

If she wants an 8 week old lab then best leave her to her original plan.

[Bowlersarm]

It'll be hard to find an 8 week old lab puppy in a rescue.

[toboldlygo]

Agree with the two above posters. Could you at least push her in to checking that the parents have decent hip and elbow scores before she puts her money down?

[monkeyfacegrace]

They have very very low scores hence the price. They are good working pedigrees.

I just can't quite let it rest that her £800 would be better elsewhere

[Follyfoot]

Button here?

[littleblueballoon]

If she lives in Hampshire I know a lady who has collie puppies around £300, 8 - 12 weeks if that is any help? X

[Bowlersarm]

You need to already be on the waiting list for that puppy, Follyfoot.

That's the problem to OP will have-you quite often have to already registered and be prepared to wait for an expensive breed of puppy. They don't come available very often.

[monkeyfacegrace]

Can't believe Labs are classed as an expensive breed

I thought there'd be loads of unwanted pups!

Sigh, looks like she will be buying then. And all this searching is making me want one myself

[snala]

Halfway dog rescue, lincs have a litter of lab crosses. Ready in 2 weeks

[snala]

Sorry, notts.

[TheWomanTheyCallJayne]

If she's got children she may find it hard to find somewhere that will allow her to adopt a pup anyway. We tried on and off for years.

[monkeyfacegrace]

Ah Snala they are ace! LOVE the black and white girl. Have text her a link.

[snala]

I'm sooo tempted myself!

[monkeyfacegrace]

No, bugger off! I like the black and white girl and the plain black girl. Oh I'd just have them all

[soddinghormones]

If she wants a lab puppy and she's done her homework and chosen one with very low hip scores from working lines I really can't see her going for a lab crossed with who knows what no matter how cute the puppies are right now

I'd leave her to it and wish her all the best with her new puppy

[LottieJenkins]

puppies on here!!

[GobblersKnob]

Awww spotty paws....

[clam]

Why have you tried to persuade her to have a lurcher or staffie when she's made it quite clear she wants a lab?

[scotchtikidoll]

I think you need to contact rescues directly if you want a young puppy because they get snapped up pretty quickly and aren't advertised on websites
