hi buddy
many thks for the heads up, alas I tried several rescue centres and have been told by several members of staff inc the rudest of them all the rspca that I can’t have a dog
Told that , due to being on benefits I can’t afford the upkeep vet bills or food , have grandkids under 5 x years old, living on my own is high risk in case I have an accident or fall the dog can be in harms way and without supervision , the list went on so basically gave up after the sheer outrageous rudeness
with candy now being 17 and doing well I of course understand she won’t be here for ever and can’t even begin to imagine life without her , seeing it’s just been her and I for the last 10 x years ive never been so close to a pet as I have with her , know it will break my heart when she goes
at the time was looking for a dog this time not a bitch , a jack russell, , etc , something a bit smaller than a lab , Usero see a lot of cocker spaniels at work and indeed are gorgeous dogs and would adore one but expensive ame to be honest I’ve started to look at breeders
did explain to rescue centres I’ve got my own vehicle to take a dog to a wooded area that has rivers, streams , etc , well away from roads, vet care cover, neighbours that have my door key in case of emergencies, along with 3 x extra bags of 15 kg eukanuba so not cheap supermarket rubbish , ie , if I had to go into hospital , plus been around dogs for 55 x years , owner of dogs for 40 x years , private fenced in 40 foot square garden , home virtually 24/7 , all that was ignored and simply insulted again and again
Indeed would adore another pup but alas it seems there not interested rehoming to someone who's on disability benefits who can offer them a secure loving home
hope ur good mate along with of course ur dog
