My puppy may need rehoming

[Shellywoozle]

Hi all,

I have a 12 month old pedigree Springer who I love to bits, but due to a relationship breakdown I may loose him.

My work makes me work possibly 12 hours shifts including travelling time and hence Samson would be left in the house all alone.

I don't think this is fair and would hate him to suffer.

I am therefore thinking of rehoming him, to someone that can give him the life he deserves.

It is going to break my heart but I have to think if him.

I will try and get some piccies put up off him. He is a very loyal and loving mad dog, the only issue I have with him is he doesnt walk to heel, he is brilliant in every other way.

I am in the Staffordshire area so anyone that is interested send me a PM and I will get back to you.

DAMN :(

Hope you find a good home for him, i would love a dog but i'm in the same situation as you work wise.

[Samnooshka]

Oh no Shell :( so sorry to hear this hun! I'll get in touch with a couple of people and get back to you... i'd love to have taken him on but my breed of dog (sometimes) are same sex aggressive :( and i can't risk Samson getting hurt.

Can i ask if he is neutered at all?

[Tara]

Shelly i'm sorry to hear about this :( its a real shame, Falc and i may be able to help out if needs be we were thinking of getting a springer spaniel in the new year and have been in touch with a breeder in the north. falc is going to PM you.

PM sent:cool:

Oh no Shell, that must be a heart-breaking situation to be in, but at least you are looking after his best interests as there are plenty of people who wouldn't have given a flying f*** if their dog was left unattended all day every day. My mate has a Springer bitch about the same age as yours and she is ace, so much so that the wife and I had said we'd love one one day but due to a 9 month old baby, and me changing jobs soon and will be working stupid shifts aswell we just can't do it.

Good luck, I hope you find him a good home.

[Shellywoozle]

Ahhh thank you for all your replies.

I have a number of options now for Samson and many willing takers. Also I have had alot of constructive advice on how I can keep him.

I am going to speak with my family tonight too see if they can help with him but if it's a no go then I will be saying bye to my baby. Just for all you dog lovers here is a few piccies.

Aww bless him Shell :D he's grown loads. I have let a couple of doggy people know and one of them has said that if you have no luck in either keeping him or finding him a new home then to let her know, she is in the police dog section and keeps malamutes and border collies.

I hope you can sort things out so you can keep him though. fingers crossed for you and him.

Hi Shell ,

I hope You get things sorted out ok.

[Shellywoozle]

Hey folks, kinda good news for me and Sam, not for those who showed an interest (thank you).

I have spoken to my family and they are going to help me out with Sam when I work long shifts, if it then doesn't work and it is too much for them then I will rehome, but we have sat down and thought long and hard .... looks like Sam is going to stay with me and be a shared doggie for the time being.

Cheers mate :-D I was happy with keeping Sam until he had the runs this morning and it was all stuck to his coat .... bad bum :smt065

As for my bike, I ideally would like to keep her but have put her for sale. I need to fit helibars of which the ex was going to do for me, I have no idea of how to fit them so opted for change of bike, which at the mo is on hold due to dosh. After me off I don't feel confident to ride her as she is, the bars are just that tad bit too low. :smt103

[Paws]

Shell im sure if you asked very nicely a few of the orgers off here wold be very willing to help you out with the bike ;)

[K]

I'm sooooo glad to hear it will hopefully work out for you and Sam. It would be a shame for you to lose a great friend (your dog) just when you need him the most.

All the best for both your futures.

[Shellywoozle]

Shell im sure if you asked very nicely a few of the orgers off here wold be very willing to help you out with the bike ;)

I will be calling next year if I don't sell her. Anyone fancy a project of fitting me some new bars :)

And thanks to everyone re the help with my little smelly Samson .... :p

[kitkat]
