The Saturday Boy Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 We adopted a dog from Romania and were very thoroughly questioned by the rescue charity on our post lockdown intentions. Sadly a lot of breeders won't care and yes the rescues are geared up to loads of abandoned dogs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Unfortunately there will be a lot going to rescue centres as people won't be able to cope with dog/work life balance. When we got our dog (she's 3 and we got her as a pup) the breeder wanted to know a lot about us, and to make sure we were the right people for her pup, as she had mum and dad, as well as her mums mum and dad. We're still in contact now!! Unfortunately there are so many dodgy breeders about that are in it just for the money. It's something they've tried coming down on,m but don't think it's made a lot of difference personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Sadly I thought the same too. My dog has been my saviour throughout lockdown. I've had him since November 2014 and he's champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost half a stone through three walks a day so its a win, win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.G.Red Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 The problem will also be dogs missing the companionship during the day as people return to work outside the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. Our dog has developed worse seperation anxiety than our eight-month-old during lockdown! That said, more people will be mostly working from home long-term IMO.

grifty Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Unfortunately lots of dogs were stolen during lockdown to be sold to people who wanted a dog. Certain 'sites' were raided by the police and over 70 stolen dogs were found on one site alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
