I Have Been Looking For A Small Rescue Dog.....

[trt]

and have been in contact with a few kennels, but they don't seem to have hardly any, and most I see are Staffies.

It would be a shame to buy one with so many dogs needing homes, but they keep sending me photos of larger dogs, which I have told them I don't want.

Anybody know of anywhere in Suffolk, or Norfolk that need homes for dogs?

Thanks.

If you google Suffolk Dog re homing centres you will find quite a few. Sorry but I'm not good with links.

sadly it's the way things go these days people buy a cute little puppy and six months later that cute little pup is three times the size and still growing so they get rid off it.Hope you succeed in your search find a nice little dog you want to give a forever home too.

Have you looked at the Wood Green Animal Charity (re homing) in Cambridgeshire.

Some lovely wee dogs there.

I believe Dogs Trust have a place in Norfolk (seem to remember seeing it signposted on the A11, not too far from Thetford/Snetterton I think.)

What's wrong with a little Staffie? Staffie's are lovely dogs, with the right owner.

To add to canarie's post - heres a link to the Norfolk (Snetterton) Dogs Trust dogs for rehoming:

I am the co-ordinator for the Lancashire Heeler Community Welfare Fund and although we don't get many dogs through our Rescue we occasionally have them. We have got a ten year old male coming in next week as his elderly owner has had to go into residential care. He will be coming into our kennels in Norfolk and we will be looking for the right home for him with an older person or couple. Heelers live on average to 14 or 15 so he has a good few years left in him. We never know what the next call is going to be and we will always keep details if people want to register their interest if a dog comes in that might be suitable for them.

A friend of mine got his rescue dog from here:

(I drove him there. They only have a handful of dogs at any one time but it might be worth a try).

Another thought:

The PACT Sanctuary charity shop in Anglia Square, Norwich, always has its windows filled with pictures (and details) of animal seeking new homes but you can also find them online here:

Yet another thought:

Private individuals (and occasionally charities), seeking to rehome dogs, often put ads in pet shops. In particular, there are often quite a few such ads in Pets at Home in Ipswich.
