Need to have new home for my dog.

Savvy_sewing

I have a 2 year old alsation/labrador cross. He is a wonderful energetic dog. Good with the family. We have two small babies and he is fine with them. Unfortunately as we had to find a new home (6 of us were in a 2 bed flat) we have been unable to take Duke with us. He is currently staying with a friend, but cannot stay there much longer. He is microchipped, has been spayed, and has been a very fit and healthy dog. We live in Oxford. I dont actually know where to really start to find him a loving home, where he can be exercised, loved and wanted. I love him dearly, as do all of our family, however the landlord here will not let me have a dog, and I didnt really have much choice in where i could live. Is there anyone out there with some good advise that can tell me where I could turn to to find him a home.?
Currently I am destressed at the though of having to loose him completely, but my friend cannot keep him for me much longer.:cool:

Have you a Dogs Trust by you. They take dogs that new homes and they advertise that "they never put a healthy dog down". Its a cruel fact that some dogs homes to put them to sleep after a while.

I havent been here that long, so I dont know but I think I will just go and put that in the google and see. Thanks. I was at a blank. I suppose its becuase I just dont want to let him go!. To me he was one of the family. Although he is a biggish dog, he is so loving, and playful. Yet patient and very good. When we had to move to the flat, he was very good about needing to go outside. Even when he had an upset stomach, he never made a mess at all.
When the twins had their babies he took them in his stride as well.
Right, google time.:o

That sucks, we spent so much longer looking for our house so that it had a big garden for the dogs! the things you do hey. Maybe ringing someone like the rspca might help, their website has a rehoming thing where you put in a postcode to find a home near you.

I have tried to get through to the Dogs Trust, but they put me on hold, and eventually cut me off. They close at 5 so I will have to try again tomorrow. I also have the phone number for the RSPCA from that link, thankyou. There was nowhere (at least I couldnt see it) about getting your animal rehomed, its all about adopting a dog, rehoming it with people as apposed to having to get him rehomed! Ah well hopefully I will get somewhere on the phone tomorrow. I hope to take a photo of him tomorrow,, and get that in the local pet shop, and also the newsagents maybe? Just worried I wont know who would have him, if he would be loved the way I love him, some people will think that I am stupid but I really have had him since a pup and he is part of my family.!!

I have sent an email to Bluecross, as this is nearer to me as far as I can see on the map. I dont suppose I will get an answer today now anyway. Thankyou for the link. :T

hi...have a look at this site. it is run by dogowners/rescuers and lists rescues all over the country.it's main aim is to find homes for dogs needing homes, mainly in rescue but also private homes. the site also has a forum where you can post about your dog (if you wish) and anyone looking for a dog can get in touch.
it is very friendly and the forum offers lots of advice and help to people.

I don't think the RSPCA handle 'hand-ins', but do look for your nearest rescue on DogPages like kimoffife mentions.
