Home needed
I might be clutching at straws here, but maybe someone can help.
I need to find a new home for a dog I've been looking after for a few months. I go back to the UK in a few weeks and if I don't find him a home he'll have to be put down. I've tried the rescue homes, but they're at bursting point.
He's about 5 yrs old, medium size and has a fantastic temprament. House trained, but quite happy to be outside. He loves being on a lead and walks by your side.
I live about 30 mins from Torrevieja, near Crevillente.
Please let me know if you can help

Re: Home needed
Its really important that he gets on with other dogs. Is he neutered? I have two of my own and its costing a fortune for them to get ready to back to UK.
I can't afford for the rabies blood test etc. for another one. BUT... i will not see a healthy and happy dog put down...!

Re: Home needed
So what I am saying is.. If he is neutered and up to date with his injections for Rabies/blood tests etc... I would like to have him.
Believe me ! I cannot afford another dog without this done!
He needs to be ready to go back to UK...

Re: Home needed
I've tried the rescue homes and put him on the sites for adoption, but no luck.
My two were already into the 6 months wait for the rabies, and my husband said we couldn't start again with him (I'm beginning to see how self-centred he actually is, anyway that's another issue)
We've only had Bobby a couple of months, so he hasn't been nuetered or had his injections. He's great with my dogs, and loves people. If someone would take him I'd start his jabs off, but as I said we go back in 3 weeks. I though my husbands mother would take him as she said she loves him...but they're 'too tying'

Re: Home needed
Well what can I say......we went down to the bar last night and came back with a stray dog 
At midnight he was in the bath being scrubbed and he slept soundly at the side of our bed all night!!
Now the thing with this dog is that he only understands English! He sits, gives his paw and lies down when told. He had a collar on with one of those name tags with the paper rolled up inside but the paper was missing. So this morning I am off to the vets with him to see if anyone has reported him missing or to see if he has been chipped. I am praying that he hasnt been dumped by English owners that have gone back to the UK!!!

I might contribute too if I knew how much it'd cost.
