Foster home needed

Despite my best efforts I have been unable to source a housing with care home for my mother which will take her dog too.

So I'm trying to access as many grapevines as possible to see if anyone knows of anyone, preferably in Norfolk, who would like to foster a Cinnamon Trust supported, 10 year old good natured Staffie bitch.

Great news that you've got a home for Jet, at least it's one less worry! Good luck with your mother, I hope she settles in well. flowers

Mum is thinking about it. She doesn't really have much alternative, hopefully it's just her trying to have a little bit of control of her life. Jet has been the centre of her life - and her other dogs before that. I long ago realised that dad and I came lower in the pecking order! I'll be so much happier when Jet is away and settled.

If your mum is that fond of her dog she is going to find it hard at first being without it.

Good morning NfkDumpling. I passed on the info about Jet to a friend of mine, whose son has always had Staffies, to see if he has any friends who could help with rehousing Jet.

Thanks Gma. I think everyone around knows about her now. I've even got her on the Norfolk Police notice board. The trouble is there's so many homeless dogs out there.

Much relief! Mum has told the Cinnamon Trust she's happy (well, as happy as she can be) for Jet to go and live with the nice family in Derbyshire.

Thank you all for your support. I feel so much better and I think she does too now the decision has been made.

Cheers wine

Hopefully the family will keep in touch with your mum and let her [and us!]know how Jet is getting on? Do they realise they're taking on a famous dog? And, good on your mum for putting Jet's happiness first smile.
