2 adult German showlines males losing their home - Page 2

So sad - it still happens all the time. Hopefully they will find a safe haven in time.

hexe - I dont want to stirr anything up, we really have enough drama on the pdb allready, but your assumption on the dedication of the breeders, if they are not willing to take back a dog that they bred over 6 and 8 years ago, is, excuse me, pretty lame.

With all due respect, I know times can be hard, outcry for help on June 27th, dogs have to be gone July 5th ! Hard to believe that the owners did not know about their situation earlier and started to search for a safe home for their animals. I personally doubt that it will be possible to find suitible homes for them in this short timeperiot - but I sure hope so for these dogs.

I think the way it works in these situations is, "I'm trying to find a place where I can have them and will keep trying until the last minute." From what the rescue people have said, the owners were extremely upset about having to rehome the dogs. It's not just another "I have to move and can't take my dogs with me." Or anyway, that's what they believe. But I will poke around and make sure that they have tried to reach the breeder. 

Where are the dogs located?

Palatka, FL 

I often use Craigslist.org and under the Pets I post my dogs for adoption.  I am very particular how to write the ad.  I adopt out locally only so I can inspect the new home, make them pay for the spay or neuter, sign a contract and stay in touch with those adopting homes.  The dogs can ALWAYS come back to me, whether sold or adopted out.   No and's if and but's about it.  Also, in my adoption and sales contract, no one, NO ONE, can destroy an animal without my permission at an early age or for such reason as is mentioned in the post. 

At least give them to a non kill shelter. 

I find all sorts of holes in this story, I'm sorry to say.   It pisses me off to no end to hear such a guilt trip story they are putting on us, and basically abandoning these loyal dogs.  

Try Craigslist in other words... 

Just got off the phone with the owners and they found a home for the dogs,( hopefully a forever home)he said they felt good and were happy with their new home.

 Hey thanks for that, Jim. I was waiting for an email...figured they must be placed as the panic phase seemed over.

There was NOTHING hinky about this situation...and craigslist is the shittiest place ever for homing dogs...unless you just want them out of your sight and are not too worried about the home they go to.

glad they found a home!

Jim,
thank you for the good news. I am very glad they did find a home, hopefully a forever one.
