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

I didn't 'get him', he was a stray, I presume dumped, beside our house. It was either take him in or let him be run over, or starve

Sorry Dawn. I didn't mean to imply that you're uncaring.

Can you please tell us how much you'd need to transport him back - plus jabs etc.

Maybe you should take him and leave your OH in Spain;)

It takes about 8 months from starting the jabs to when a dog can travel.
I think the jabs work out in total about 300 euros or more
As for the OH, I'd rather get him put down than Bobby at the moment

Sorry shouldn't laugh but.........:lol:

So, if you're going back in 3 weeks - how could you ever hope to take him back even if your OH was willing to pay the expenses?

Sounds like you just need a home rather than the money for jabs?

Have I missed something?

HAve you spoken to the marvellous poster here that is Xtreme? I think he runs some sort of sanctuary. Maybe posters would be willing to sponser Bobby through Xtreme?

Its just as bad in Portugal with the stray dogs DF. Your heart will break when you move there, I can see you ending up with about 20 dogs in your house lol.

You're probably right. I should maybe consider buying a farm not a house;) So much for "No more after these two".

He's a bit timid, but I don't know what he's like around small children, I don't have any. He's only just started to play a bit, I don't think he'd been given much attention till he came here. He's not aggressive in any way though

I didn't ask for money for jabs. I asked if anyone would be able to give him a home.

Thats our problem, we have a house with a small garden and not enough room for dogs to run about in. Now if we had a finca then I would imagine we would have 100?s of dogs :ohmy:

Just rang my friend who runs a sanctuary here for stray dogs and cats, no help unfortunately she is full to bursting point. Will keep trying for you. We will come up with something I am sure.

The dates for Rabies etc don't work out for me. :thumbdown:

Thanks for trying. I've tried the rescue places for ages, and just hoped they'd have a space, but they're full.

Slightly off topic Dawn, but - why are you moving back to the UK? :confused:

Incidentally, I couldn't take him because we have cats but I hope someone does come to the rescue he is such a cute little dog :wub:

Our son had no life here and we thought we owed it to him to go back so he could go to college. Though now my OH says he doesn't think he wants to live there, and he'll have to see how it goes when back.
