Cromarty Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 My family and I have decided to get a dog and I would love it to be a rescued dog. My last best friend of 13 years was from a dogs home in the UK and it would be great to do the same again in France. It does need to be one that doesn't shed / low dander due to asthma that I have and I have been recommended a bichon, Lhasa or poodle hybrid. I have searched the rescue websites and monitored this board but I can't see to locate any. We have a lovely big garden and two pre teen girls desperate to get a new pet. I'm getting desperate as my wife has said we will get one from a breeder / leboncoin if we don't find a rescue. I'm very keen to avoid this!

val douest Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Where in France are you living? I know someone who was recently looking for a home for a poodle/jack russell cross. We are way down south in 65 so before I see if it is has already been rehomed it would be good to know if you are limited to a particular area.Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Christine Animal is one of the best people to ask but I think this might be worth looking at : http://www.rescue-forum.comChristine will tell us if I'm wrong...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You're right RH ! [:D]Also, please have a look at the SPA of your département.

Mimi Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 This little chap has been waiting for 2 years and he is in your department:http://caniche.positifforum.com/t3104-athos-caniche-beige-de-6-ans-a-l-ada-de-st-chamond-42EDIT Sorry I just saw that he would not be suitable with children. Have a look at the link anyway because there are lots of other poodle types on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Well done for wanting to rescue a dog. They are so rewarding. There are so many dogs looking for homes.Beware - many poodle hybrids do shed hair. I rescued a poodle hybrid from this Forum and he sheds hair by the bucket load although he still has to be trimmed twice per year. I read somewhere that only one third of poodle crosses retain their hair but I am not entirely sure if this is correct. There is no mention of this in Wiki but there is some more info that you may find interesting.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poodle_hybridshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labradoodle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jouals Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Coca, the little terrier cross, (see earlier post about her) is still looking for a new home - she is adorable, spayed and would be suitable. She is very stressed in the Refuge and would make a wonderful companion. I know you are a distance from Cahors, but we can arrange transport if you are interested in adopting her!!!??Coca is a bit timid at first when she does not know you, but would make a wonderful family pet. She is very affectionate! She is vaccinated and micro chipped.Let me know if you need any further information. Jouals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
