Worst part is I emailed them back to ask why it mattered where I lived but recieved no reply, nor has anyone answered the question on here so they seem like they are not that bothered.

Hi there

It occured to me that there might be another reason too ... do you have a cat or cats? If so, Rhianna would not be suitable to live in a house with small furries.

Yes I do have cats but if you read back in this thread I did ask if she had been cat tested.

You told me you would find out for me but in the meantime to complete the questionaire which I did.

I then got an email saying thank you for my application but I was too far away to re-home from you, no mention of cats etc.

In fact it's only now that I have been told Rhianna is not suitable with cats.

It's a shame that it's the dogs that suffer with rules such as this.

Many people are happy to travel for the right dog as I would certainly be willing to do.

Now if I am not suitable then fair enough that is understandable but that is not the reason why I was told no and I still have the email saying that, the only reason they gave me was my distance which is silly.

I hope that Rhianna finds a wonderful home and that you consider changing some of the policies that are denying dogs wonderful homes.

I sent the pm by the way but did not recieve a response.

An update from Rhianna's fosterers:

Just got back from muddy Hampstead Heath. Rhianna was as always very good. We walked for a couple of hours and it was sunny so we got some photos I can put up!! Found some more on Seb's camera which are quite cute too so apologies that there are so many.

She has had a good week again this week. She went down to Seb's parents with him for the day and went for a walk with their Welsh Terrier. She is a 10 month old unspeyed bitch (she is going in for the snip in two weeks). Rhianna was very good with her, when Meg jumped on her too much she grumbled at her but generally paid her not much attention at all.

She is still not brilliant at meeting dogs on the lead, however we are going to keep working on this and see if we can get her to the stage where she can be more relaxed about it. Personally I think that it wouldnt be very hard as its not intense, its just noise. She is fine when she meets dogs in the park off leash, she is fine walking alongside dogs when on the lead. She just doesnt like them coming up to her when she is on the lead without being properly introduced.

She is generally so good, this is just her one last remaining little thing to sort. Reckon we will get there though!!

Enjoying the view at Hampstead Heath

An update from Rhianna's fosterer:

"Rhianna was so fantastic with Sebs brothers kids today. They all came here for lunch and she was amazingly relaxed about having everyone in her house. The youngest is 6 months and the oldest is 7. She was lovely with them all. When the 7 year old fed her supper she even did a lovely sit and wait for him when he asked even though the way that he asked was not confident at all. She was very sweet. She gave the baby's feet one lick but otherwise didnt actually pay them an awful lot of attention. She didnt even lift her head when they were making lots of noise and the baby had a cry.
She really is a sweet girl"!

An update from Rhianna's foster home:

"Went to Hampstead Heath to play in the snow with Rhianna today.
I have read all the updates on the foster dogs and they seem all to be very energetic at the moment. Rhianna was a handful today. Its the snow! It's like kids, she gets really over excited in the snow.
She wanted to get involved in the snow ball fights and she stole a rugby ball (very lovely and understanding couple thank God). That ball I didnt even spot as it was miles away. She had a lot of fun though. We are going to have to do some practising with walking away from footballs, although its sooo much better than before it is kind of lucky we have come across understanding people so far. I think that we are going to have to do some more practise with leave. We will get there, she has come so far and I dont think that as many people play football and rugby on the heaths outside London, I think that its a London thing.

And after all that snow you have to warm up! This for the record is not her blanket"!

Rhianna held court in a snug area of the pub today before we all set off to walk the kennels dogs. Have to say without a shadow of a doubt that she is her foster daddy's dog! He looked pretty smitten too

Rhianna is still waiting for her forever home to find her ... where are you?!
