Hi
I am in desperate need to re-home our 9 month old black lab x collie. We homed Charlie from 12 weeks and he is a great family pet.Originally Charlie was to be a companion to my husband who is unwell, however over the year my husband has had to have several leg operations and is now disabled. Charlie is a very strong, boisterous dog who still is very puppy like in his ways. We are unable to keep him as we cannot give him the time he needs and deserves, this time is consumed by looking after my husband and family, I am unable to walk him as I suffer with back problems, so it is left to the boys before and after school. Because of this Charlie is under- trained, frustrated and bored. He is beginning to damage furniture in the house, has wrecked the garden and has become growly and a little snappy towards me, especially if I tell him off.(but has never bitten or shown aggression)- I think he wants to be the boss!. He loves my two teenage boys and loves
people and other dogs, but we cannot stop him jumping up at them.
Charlie is at his happiest out running and walking, and would do all day if he could, he has boundless energy.He is chipped, neutured and has full vets records. He also has had 3 weeks obedience training which cost a fortune and was very little help-but we hoped it would !
We have tried to re-home him ourselves over the past month- adverts,friends, vets calls but nothing has worked and I am now at the end of my teather. My husband was self employed and so we have had no income for the past year and I am now off work with the stress of the year, which sadly, Charlie is adding to. Please help, I am absolutely desperate and don't know where else to turn

I would suggest ringing round all the local dog rescues. Since he is not a staffie, they should be able to rehome him.

So sorry to hear your story
You could try contacting this rescue they may be able to help.

PM me your phone number as I have a very good friend who is in south Wales and looking for another dog.

He already has a collie and wanted another collie but may take your dog,He sound ideal as my friend has made his money and works only a few hours a week working from home and spends the rest of his time walking with his dog.

Send me your number, I will send him this link and then put the two of you in touch.

No promises but worth a try, your dog will have a great life.

wow fingers crossed very tight, I have attached a new flyer which describes Charlie more fully. My brother who is verymuch a doggy person, thinks I have been way to harsh in my description, Charlie really is a darling just under stimulated. He would love to have him but already has 3- 1 very fragile!! I am so happy with your responce--I am so desperate for Charlies sake, I am still desperately trying. My number is on the flyer but just incase 01873812445, let me know if you can't open the attatchment-Im rubbish with computers!!charlie 2.doc
thanks Bec

How far away from Pembroke are you?

I have spoken to my friend and the only doubt is how his collie boy will be with another boy living in the house.

He is prepared to give it a try but he wont travel miles and miles for that.Can you bring the dog to him just for a meet, If all looks good, he will keep him overnight to see how it goes.

Absolutely willing to drive to Pembroke no problem. I can make tomorrow, Wednesday or Thursday this week, tomorrow being the best, and can get there by mid-day. Perhaps your friend could call me to arrange where to meet, or you could message me his details?. Thanks so much for your help, Rebecca

ooo i hope the meet goes well!
