jen Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 A I have been offered the chance to adopt a 9 month old female rottie, who is in desperate need of a home due to a family break up. I already have 3 dogs (two were rescue). Apparently she has a really placid nature and a very soft, sweet personality. She has lived her short little life in a family home that has very young children(younger than mine!), and a cat, which is good as i have 3 children ages 5, 8 & 13, and two cats. I will have a four hour drive to pick her up from where she is now, and a four hour drive back which i don`t mind. Also at our house there is always someone home so she`d get the love that he deserves`s all day, everyday like my other dogs do. I`ve also made enquiries at our local dog training school (where i`ve been in the past with some of my other dogs), and the man that runs it said there`s a space for us in his obedience class and dog socialising class, which she and i would go to together if i go and get her. My husband, kids and myself have all talked about it for the last few days, and they all want to get her, as we used to have a female rottie, she was also a rescue and she lived as a happy little family with my other dogs until sadly at the age of 14 she went to the rainbow bridge, and we`ve all missed her terribly. I too want to go and bring her home...but im still thinking about it! What do you guys think? ............help me please...lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellieangel Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I agree ! go see her and trust your instincts ! good luck !!! :B-fly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behle Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Go see the rottie..... Go see the rottie..... Go see the rottie.... If she is a good fit, bring her home! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 thanks guys that`s just what i needed to hear, bless you both :angel: guess what? im going to see the rottie im going to see the rottie YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :kciuki: :banan: THE ONLY THING IM WORRIED ABOUT IS WILL SHE GET ON WITH MY BOYS, THEY`VE BEEN "DONE", SO THAT PART`S NOT A PROBLEM. But i can`t take my boy dogs on the 8 hour all round trip with me to see her! So if she`s fit and well and i think she`s ok, i`ll have to bring her home without my boys meeting her first. My boys get on with any dog i`ve ever brought into the house so it`s not their attitude towards her im worried about, it`s her towards them, ........what do you think? :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Just find out if you can return her if she and your boys dont get along.... I am happy for you. I havent found the perfect playmate for Freebee yet, Hope all goes well. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 thanks courtnek, i`ve asked about thr posibility of returning her if they really hate each other and i`d tried everything to help them get along , and given them enough time to get used to each other. There`s no problem about returning her but it would mean an 8 hour trip again, so i`d have to be pretty derparate to want to return her. But at least i know that options there. As she`s only a puppy the chances of them not getting along are slim....i think? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 :D Well Jen, even if she doesn't get along with your boys at least you have the opportunity to make sure she gets placed in a forever home. Think about it, why return her with an 8 hour drive and risk her going where she don't belong, if she don't work out then you can use that to find the perfect home for her. Anyways Go get her!!!! :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
