I've registered with as many rescues as I can. My criteria is:
- Under 3
- Small/medium dog
- Needs to be be to live with a dog
- Have teenagers at home
- I work part time during term time only but never set from home more than 3 hrs and dh home all
Week for the foreseeable.
I've applied for a dog who'd just had puppies but wasn't suitable as she only gets on with big dogs and I have a miniature schnauzer.
I've applied for her puppies but not successful (1500+ applications).
I've scoured the rescue pages but sadly, most large dogs or already reserved.
I absolutely refuse to pay £1500-£3000 for a puppy. It feels wrong. Our ddog was £800 8 years ago and we weren't deemed suitable for a rescue then as youngest was 4.
I really want another dog for the family and a friend for my dog but am
Getting nowhere.
I've been looking fir months - I know lockdown has skewed everything. I have this feeling that there'll be a lot of young dogs in rescue over the next few months as people stunt to work and school? I'm sad about this fact but wonder if I should hold out for then?
Any advice much appreciated.
