My sisters boyfriend lives in a house with 4 other 17 year olds, one of their mums gave them all a Jack Russell Pup (11 months.

They decide they dont want her So my sisters boyfriend gives her to her!! But she cant keep her as she lives at home, and mum wont allow another dog.

I have fell in love with her!

And have asked if I can have her! I cant bear the thought of her being passed about!

But now 'the lads' have said the orignal owner (one of their mums) might want her back (to sell her i think)

I cant afford to pay much (as would also need equoptment)

So am just waiting to hear whats going on next !

Good luck.

Woof.

if you do get her please get her insured. If you cant afford a lot for her you cant afford not to be insured for vets bills. Make sure she gets vaccinated/dewormed/deflead too.
Good luck, hope it turns out well for you.

Oh I know that,

she would be registered with the vet and be fully insured.

I just meant we couldnt afford to pay much for her right now (just bought a bugaboo, lol) and I dont think they would hang about and wait till next month IYKWIM.

She would be wormed vaccinated and everything else she needs!

If she doesn't want the dog why won't she let you have her?

I dont know

I havent spoken to her.

She gave her away, then the boys tried to give her away,

she would be happy here, and stay here forever,

Why dont you explain that you have been looking for a dog for long time, would love to have her and offer to pay her something.
Say enough to cover the costs of what she might have paid for jabs or something?

You dont have to spend a fortune on things for her.
I find local pet shops and pet market stalls much cheaper than big places like Pets at home.

Go and get the dog from your sister's! Sounds like you are the only one who really wants her. This is mean. Poor dog.

I cant do that - theyve said no.

I offered them a crate of beer for her and they accepted(??!!!) until they rang the mum!

Report her.

Nbg · 18/08/2007 18:52

But whats her reason for you not having her?

Seems a bit odd

beautifulgirls · 18/08/2007 19:01

The dog legally belongs to the 17yr olds who have her, not the lady who gave it to them, unless they have had her for under a week AND there were any slightly unclear circumstances about how they came to have her in the first place. It is therefore their decision as to who has her next, not the original ladys decision. I suggest you go and offer the lads a bit of money as well as the beer and get them to sign a piece of paper saying they are happy for you to take ownership of the dog.
I doubt the original lady has the dog's interests at heart at all - if she was willing to let it live in a house of 17yr olds in the first place she is not really thinking straight in my opinion.

Am a bit weary as she doesnt seem to like my little one,

I hope it all goes well. Sometimes it's really helpful for the dog to change its name so don't worry about that at all! The training is real fun - the more you learn how to be with your dog, the more your dog enjoys being with you, so you enjoy being with them all the more... and so it goes on. Dogs really are tremendous!
