WyoBC Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I got an e-mail from a friend today, she said a guy she knows in town has a female B&W BC and he's tired of her. He wanted to just leave her somewhere to get rid of her. But she told him that I would probably take her (so he wouldn't do anything) and not to do anything until I talk to him. I can't let him just get rid of her, but I don't really have room for another one. What should I do? She said that the dog is really playful, and sweet. That's all I know about her right now. I guess I'll wait until I see the dog, then try to find a way to get her a home. At least he hasn't dropped her off on some back road yet.

nancy Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Can you get her into the shelter from which you got Black Jack? They seemed like a good group. Yeah, it took you long enough to get permission to adopt Black Jack. I can't see getting permission to take on another one. Unless your folks have fallen in love with Black Jack and worry about what will happen if you go off to college and take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth G Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Unless you, your family and your two dogs are ready for another dog, I would take her and then turn her over to where you got Blackjack from (as they do seem to be a good Humane Society)Especially since you said deep down you aren't ready for another. Unless you and your family possibly are. But I agree. It did take you so long to get permission to get Blackjack. You might really have to convince your mom and the other two dogs eh? But I would definately remove her from that situation. The humane would be better for her. That or a BC rescue. Good luck and keep us updated.

haleigh Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 AJ, I can see your dilemma...I FINALLY convinced dad to just let me feed a stray pit bull that wandered into our yard when I was sending Joy over some jumps. After four months of persuasion, I got him to let me keep her. I don't have pictures, but she only stayed with us for four months because I was being stubborn about finding her a home. I was concerned about keeping to bitches in the same house, but so far it's doing good. I named her Merry. Then, lo and behold...another dog comes. A little boy shih-tzu. I got so attached, that I named him Riant. Together, I have three happy dogs. Until dad came home from Idaho on a business trip. I begged him hand and knee, and he wouldn't let me keep him. He did, surprisingly let me keep him long enough to find him a right home, rather then dumping him off at the SPCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoBC Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I found out today that he just doesn't have time for her anymore. She said that he had her the last time she talked to him, but she didn't know if he still did or not. He said if I took her that he wanted to be able to see her when ever he wanted Sounds weird coming from a guy that wants to git rid of her. I'm going to talk to the humane society tomorrow and see if they'll take her. Thanks for the help. I know it wouldn't be in the dogs best interest even if I could keep her right now.

Beth G Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I know that you are a very good dog owner and will do right by this dog. So I hope he still does have her and that he gives her to you. I know you will get her a good home. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border_collie_crazy Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 would you be able to foster her till you can find her a better home? my mom was yelling at me for looking at a shelter dogs picture, I already knew I couldnt have her, but my mom got mad anyway because gee we already had 6 dogs...... a few weeks later we have 7 dogs lol. not the same dog I was looking at mind you, but Rusty was supposed to be a foster.. and my MOM was the one who fell for him and said he was staying.

WyoBC Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I think I have it figured out. She said that he really likes her and wants a good home for her. Come to find out he got a new job and she has to stay out in the car all day. So he wants her to have a better home. I don't think I can foster her right now, since we're pretty much out of room for anymore dogs. So I'm going to go see her the next chance I get. Get some pictures, and see what she's like. My friend said that she was really sweet. So we'll see. Then I'll work on getting her a new home. Paws crossed. This will be my first time finding a dog a home so any advice would help.
