Merlin Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 This is a very traumatic story and these two little dogs need a new home fast or a foster home in the interim. They are in a very sad and stressed household and are not coping very well not. Scruffy was rescued a couple of years ago and produced six puppies - Alex her boy was kept by the family who adopted her and they found homes for all the others. Their owner is a caring but very distressed gentleman who is undergoing some terrible traumas at the moment and trying to keep his family together (three children under 15 - one of whom is severely handicapped). His wife is a violent alcoholic. He is having to sell his house and has already managed to home his three donkeys, four cats and herd of sheep The children are heartbroken to lose their dogs but understand the pressures and he is keeping a very old Briard and a very young Doberman - both of whom would be difficult to rehome. The two little terrier Xs will have to find new homes and they are becoming very stressed as the household situation deteriorates and they are sensing the chaos. Their owner is desperate not to put them into the Spa and will travel anywhere to take them to a loving home - they are in the Gers near Auch. If anyone feels they can help, you can email me for more details - here are some pictures taken yesterday......... my heart is hurting for them all.[IMG]http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab161/squarepeg2010/Photo0237.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab161/squarepeg2010/Photo0235.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framboise Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Its simply terrible how trauma affects the entire family, especially those without a voice of their own. My heart aches for them.Can some kind soul offer them a respite?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Lass Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Oh my goodness! They look very like my little Boo Boo did when I re-homed him 3 months ago! He is a Cocker and Epagnole cross! He is a sheer delight and has fitted in a treat with our other two dogs! He is a much ''better upholstered" boy now if you know what I mean!

Merlin Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 These two have till the 18th of this month and then they are being taken to the Spa! A friend visited them today and tells me they are very affectionate! It would be very harsh on them to find themselves in a refuge after two years in a good home but the owner now has no choice he says....... so sad!

Merlin Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 If someone can do a short foster (over Christmas) I think I might have someone who wants them when they get back after Christmas............so the foster family would only have them for a couple of weeks.....any chance anyone?

Merlin Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think we might have these two sorted! Should know outcome of various plots by the end of this week and hopefully they will be on their way to new homes - fingers crossed and I will post the much hoped for happy ending as soon as I am sure! Not going to count any chickens till it's done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Scruffy and Alex were taken the long journey to their foster mum yesterday! There they will stay till the end of the month when their new family will collect them when they get back from the UK. So many thanks go to neighbour Charlotte who liaised with the owner, David who did the long journey to get them and deliver them safely to Katrina who is fostering them. It can't be done without good people like these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
