Unknown user Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Been wanting one for years but my ex hates them so I've had to wait till now. I'd planned to rescue a greyhound but then I mentioned it to my mum. Within an hour I got a call from a woman in Bulgaria asking if I want a rescue puppy and sending photos - old lady jungle drums beat hard and fast! Anyway, I couldn't say no so wee Minky will be here in a few weeks.

Asking mainly as he could turn out to be massive, depending on his parentage. Too many folk get a cute wee puppy that ends-up huge, eating huge amounts, and needing huge amounts of exercise and attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not really a dog, it’s a pet that thinks it’s human due to the way, the wife in particular treats, it. I'm telling myself I'll be a strong pack leader and teach it some discipline.

Dagger Is Back Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 This is our Duke. 10 months old and the apple of our lives. He’s full of mischief.

JFK-1 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Allie, rescue dog we adopted at 6 years old almost two years ago. It wasn't an easy initial journey as she had clearly been abused. Cowered away if you tried to pet her and spent most of her time hiding under a bed. I'm guessing that's what she did where she had been. Took some months before she learned I won the lottery, no one is going to hurt me here no matter what I do. Occasionally goes under a bed still but I suspect that's just for old times sake.

speaker Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Quality thread. Me and the Mrs have been accepted to get a pooch from Hungary. Rescue street dog so sounds similar to some on here. Anyone got any tips for a rescue from abroad? First time dog owners so we are slightly nervous but at the same time looking forward to the life style change. Any advice greatly appreciated 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
