Decided to rehome bruno

[hedwig]

Its getting too much for me now.

i cant afford to keep him. i really didnt want to admit this, its so hard.
i have three jobs and still cant afford him.

i am still thinking about it but i think its for the best.

he needs proper training because he is very nervous n cant provide what he needs.

i am still trying to save for a flat but i am getting nowhere.

is there anyone willing to foster him till i can get a flat?

comes with all accessories including freezer bed food n kennel.

i cant do this on my own, i need help

Oh no, Bruno is my favorite, I'm sorry this has to happen At least your not like some people who can't afford dogs and just abandon them or starve them. How long have you had Bruno? Where are you located? I might be able to ask around on other forums and see if anyone wants to foster or own him. This must be hard for you but I'm glad you have recognized that he would be better somewhere else.

What exactly is happening that you can't afford him? Can you just not afford necessities like food and vet or is he doing something else that is costing extra? (sorry if I missed the posts that stated this).

 

[hedwig]

i got bruno when i was with my boyfriend, when we broke up i then moved back with my mum, but as there was two of use before it was so much easyer.

im living in the uk

If/When you are 100% sure you are re-homing him I'll post about him on a few other forums if you don't mind. If you want I can post about him now but say you are still deciding just to see if anyone's interested.

I really hope everything works out for the best (((((HUGS)))))

 

[hedwig]

yeah please post, x

 

[ravennr]

Aweh, I wish I could help, even donate some money to you.
I hope things turn for the best, I'm sorry you're going through this. It's not an easy decision to make.

~hugs~

OK, I'll post just tell me a bit more about him. I just read your first post about re-homing him in March so is he that same (as far as needs to be muzzled in public and nervous of strangers)? Is he neutered and UTD with shots? How much training does he have? You said no with cats and fine with dogs so I'll assume he's the same as far as that goes. Should he be in a child free home? Anything you can tell me about his personality will help.

 

[Maxy24]

sorry, double post.

 

[hedwig]

yeah.

as you can see from picture he is black n tan with akita face husky eyes n curly tail.

he is micro chipped, had injections, wormed, deflead, insured, castrated,

no cats or kids younger then 13,.dogs probably.

nervous of strangers and will snap but loving affectionate dog towards owners, loves to play n walks.

house trained, doesnt bark, protective dog, well trained.

comes with toys, bowls, bed, freezer, food, leads, collars the lot.

i would really hope for a foster home but i will accept a rehoming for right person.

i would like a vet check on potention owners

What can't you afford?

Will your mother not help you out?

 

[hedwig]

my mother is worse off then me.

he needs a behavoiurist and training because he is nervous aggressive n i cant afford the training.

i cant afford the food for him n i am still trying to get a flat of my own.

i get as little as 100 pounds a week for food, bills, transport to work and feeding the dog, my rent n bills is 50 alone

It's such a shame to see another dog given up on.... people, dogs are a lifetime commitment, you don't just get to take them for a test drive and then dispose of them when they don't fit the means of the lifestyle you chose for them anymore.

Have you even tried to find a behaviorist willing to work with you? Let them know your dilemma and that you're going to put an aggressive dog in someone else's hands? Asked to be able to do payments? Anything? Or have you just written the dog off....

 

[hedwig]

ok then. wat would you rather i do?

he is not a dog for some first time owner. the person i got him off told me something completely different so i would have him. he didnt have any training what so ever. i have never owned a dog before and think i have done mighty well with him but unless i try and get myself out of my mums i will be here for ever. i need to save money. in an ideal work someone could foster him till i get enough money for a place. but as i keep breaking everything my mum owns with my bad luck it wont be any time soon

 

[Buddy'sParents]

I just asked if you had even tried... apparently you haven't. Poor dog.

 

[Kase]

I'd foster him for you if I was allowed but I'm not . Plus there is no way I could take a nervous dog into our house where there are always little kids, I really wish I could help though.

 

[bubbatd]

It's too bad .... this is what usually what happens when none committed couples break up . Won't your X take him ??

 

[RD]

Have you considered NOT seeing a behaviorist and just working on this yourself? Read a lot of books, talk to some of the people here on Chaz... It's possible to work with your dog without professional help.

 

[savethebulliedbreeds]

Thank you BuddysParents. I was waiting for someone to say that instead of sugar coating things.

It sounds to me that this is more of a he's-not-trained issue than anything else. I am sorry to say this again, but a dog IS a lifetime commitment.

People ask me all the time why I don't get rid of some of my dogs (I have 8)! I don't get rid of them because I took them and now they are MY responsibility....and I love them all very much.

It is not fair to a dog to go from home to home to home. I have a dog like that. She was not a very decent dog when I got her. Thankfully with time and training and socialization she is back to being a dog.

 

[Whisper]

What have you actually tried?

 

[Maxy24]

I understand what you guys are all saying and I was going to say something like that but in all honestly if she cannot afford a dog should she be keeping him? She should not have gotten Bruno in the first place but now she does and can't afford him and I can only imagine having three jobs how she could be able to spend enough time training him and work with him on his problems. I think the dog needs a new home, not because I believe in giving up on difficult dogs but because I believe the dog would be better off with someone who has the time for him and can afford to take care of him. If Something bad happened to Bruno (God forbid) can Hedwig afford to take him to the vet? She said she has trouble affording food for him even.

I think it was very irresponsible for the dog to be purchased in the first place but keeping him where he is probably will not end well. If she was giving up the dog simply because she was not willing to work with him I would not feel the same way and I hope we are not being lied to about that. If she cannot afford to feed the dog and get him to the vet than she should give him a home that can. If she can afford those things and is willing to work with the dog on his problems then it would be wrong to just get rid of him.
