Would one of the animal charities, like the Assissi Animal Sanctuary here in NI, take it if it came with a fair sized cash donation?
The RSPCA, who eventually put dogs down if they're not rehomed, isn't an option.
I like the word mongrel, trouble is it is a covers everything word- it could be my Dad's old wolfhound cross or my sister's chihuahaua cross poodle. I don't like designer names for mongrels but at least you have an idea what a cocakpoo is or a labradoodle, and it does rather underline the fact that a dog is a dog whatever it's called whatever the Kennel Club may say.
hi sandy-mid antrim animal sanctuary are good-they have a 'no kill' policy and i would recommend them
they are based in Antrim -just off the greystone roundabout on the M2
a bit handier for you
anne there is far more snobbery from the 'designer dog' brigade than from the pedigree people! They just cannot accept that they have bought a mongrel (or crossbreed) and many insist that their dogs are a proper breed!
As for the Kennel Club they are just a registry for dogs, and they also register non pedigrees on their Activity Register and there were even classes for mongrels at Crufts this year.
