dws1410 8 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I found an old lurcher today maybe about ten years old it was totally emaciated its nails where so long it was starting to have trouble walking and worst of all some dirty fecker had tied its mouth shut. I took it to the local rescue centre who said they would give it 7 days before they would re home him I’m thinking about going back for the old boy and let him live out his last few years in luxury but three maybe one too many.

shotgunandy 2 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 personally i would go get him mate, yeah it could be expensive but after all he has been through he deserves a decent dog man who will care for him properly for the remainder of his days Quote Link to post

RossM 8,121 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 dont you know anyone who would take him in to a nice pet home? preferably pet and child free? otherwise after the 7 days if he not suitable for rehoming due to these reasons he'll end up getting chapped. Quote Link to post
Hannah4181 260 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Poor old boy . . .go back and get him, somethings are meant to be. Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Go and get him mate - usually if they come from an 'unknown' source they get pts after 7 days (at least in some places. . . . i.e ARSEpca). If you have the ability do it, or take it until you can put him with a friend in a nice pet home. If you don't do it you will probably always wonder . . . . Quote Link to post
staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 cant you come to an agreement with the rescue like they give him a full health check sort any issues and you give him a home that sounds better than you taking on all the financial responsibility Quote Link to post
Guest 1 man and hiz dog Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 go and get the dog ,might show you a old trick or to Quote Link to post
wuyang 513 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I found a really old terrier a few years ago, she was also in a state. We contacted all the authorities etc and got told that they were at bursting point with stray dogs and the freezers were full!(was new years eve when we found her). Anyway nobody claimed her..so we took full responsibility, she only lasted another year before she had to be put to sleep. All i can say is it really was worth every second giving the old girl some love. You won't regret it. Quote Link to post
