Dog's Trust

I contacted the above after my accident to see if they could take Maxie for a day or two - no vacancies.

Now I donate to them and they are in my will - what would have happened to Maxie if I had died.

There is another sort of place Rosie's Trust and they foster - but they couldn't take him either.

I can recommend someone who kennels at home in carryduff but it may not be cheap

Do you have anyone from the Cinnamon Trust in your area? They might be able to help.

If you had died jj I'm as sure as I can be that they would have taken him because that would be an absolute priority.

If you had died they would no doubt have taken your money. Not so sure about the dog. This doggy group sound more like a dodgy group.

I was really ill a few years ago and couldn't look after my dog. He was a rescue dog who could be aggressive with strangers. I hesitated but really had no option but to put him in kennels for a few weeks. He was a Lab/GSD mix so not a small lad.

He loved it, he was a good boy and played football with the young lad at the kennels. He went there a few times after that.

Maxie might enjoy a little holiday

But thanks (sheesh).

[jennyjoan]

no idea what that means Zacs

[Zacs-Master]

It means it would be nice if you acknowledged the help people on this thread, and others you post, JJ.

Dogs Trust do have a scheme where you can sign up for them to take care of your dogs should anything happen to you, but they don't do temporary 'boarding' as their kennels are full to capacity with people dumping all the dogs they bought during lockdown and now can't cope with once they went back to work or didn't realise what a commitment having a dog is. I would make contact with a local boarding kennels or more likely a dog sitter so you have an arrangement in place should you need to leave him for a short time.

[lankeela]

Just thinking, didn't you get him from a rescue centre? Could they be contacted for back up (which is what my breed rescue does for any dog we rehome).

Jj, I’d give Helen advice a go. I hope you feel better .
