Help - Dogs ( Archived) (288)

Folks, I will be moving in a few weeks, and though I hate to, I need to find homes for my dogs.

I have an 8 yo full blodded Husky. She does have an auto-immune disease but has been in remission for 2 years. She's been with me for 6 years. She's independant, occasionally fussy and funny, and completely housetrained.

I have a 6 yo lab/golden retriever mix. She's black well-behaved and very sweet. She's very loving. She's also completely housetrained.

And I have a 3yo English Lab. He's yellow, beautiful, very sweet and loving. Total mamas boy. He's also completely housetrained.


They're all really well-behaved INSIDE dogs. All house-trained, Sweet dogs.

It breaks my heart to do this. It's been almost 20 years since I lived without a dog.

I want them to all have good homes. That's why I am first turning to some of the best people I know. All of you.

If you don't live too close, we could meet half-way.

Please help me. I need to find homes for them soon

I would if I could, but serously not able right now. Have you gone to the Rescue Sites for each breed? Often you get a better response there.

Aaawww Dana.. you can't take them with you?

thats so sad..

Oo thats a good idea..

I feel for you hun I just had to do the same thing with my little pitt bull
I sure miss him alot.

I would love to have a dog again, but you know why I cannot now.

I am so sorry you have to give up the dogs. I know you love them very much. Is there any way to keep them? If not all, but even one of them?

I love dogs. Had a Siberian Husky up until about 6 months ago when she had to be put down.

Wish I could help...but~~

It sounds like maybe an eldery person might like older dogs...they tend to be more settled. (the dogs, not the people)

Maybe put an add in one of the grocery stores...along w/pics?

I'd live in a tent, if that what was needed
to keep hold of this fella.

You must need to move real bad.

I'd live in a tent too if it weren't for my daughter.

On what I bring in from the disability, I just can't afford this house anymore, and to find a house or apt to rent that would allow 3 dogs, or even 2, they're over most weight limits. I haven't been able to find a job that I can do - my back problems prevent a lot - in this area. Hopefully we'll have better luck after we move.

Bob, your idea is a good one about the older folks. My dogs are pretty settled, and would be good dogs for an older person. Except one, the lab mix, she's pretty strong, though she looks so thin and petite, even at her size.

Well, they're all sweeties. Losing my mamas boy is going to really kill me, though. I lost my wolf 8 years ago to cancer and haven't had one that I came close to loving as much as I did him until this little English Lab, Cooper.
