I need an elderly dog to rescue
Hi,I have just lost 2 of my family of six dogs in 5 days. I'm heartbroken. the first one wallets Friday, my youngest, a 12 year old Lurcher. She went suddenly,in her sleep. I thought she would be the last to go. She was so fit and healthy, she smiled all the time. This Tuesday I had to get my 22 year old Mini-Wire Dachshund euthanised. My other dogs are very sad, and subdued, I believe grieving. At my age, mid 60s I will only rescue elderly dogs from now on so that i can spoil them rotten in their retirement, plus I can't walk far, although i do have someone who walks my dogs, and they adore him. As an adult I've only ever had hounds, although i love all dogs. I grew up with Poodles. I'm open to any breed. However I do have cats, and 2 small dogs, they are 19 years old Mini-Wire Dachshunds. I also have a 12 year old 3 legged Greyhound, and a 21 year old Blue Tick Coonhound (looks a bit like a poor pointer). I think the dog I rescue better be a female as my old Coonhound hates my greyhound, they are both male. They've only ever had one little scuffle, mainly they argue. But both boys get on with females. Ive rescued many older hounds over the years, so have a lot of experience with the elderly. I hope someone can help me. I'm on a pension so can't afford an huge adoption fee. Read More
