Could you ask your local vet or local dog training clubs to see if they can come up with anything. It's a case of trying to cast your net as wide as you can. I really hope that she finds a home soon.

Don't feel guilty though, you're doing the best you can

I'll contact them today. And I've done a few fliers to take to the pet shop, vets, etc. I figure the more people who know about her the more chance she stands of a good home. She deserves it.

We had big arguements - well horrendous rows really - with them when they got a Staffie. We may have been able to take on an easy lab, or one of our DGC would have taken it, but my DH isn't a dog lover. He put up with a cocker and then a springer while the children were growing. And a pony. So it wouldn't be fair to expect him to live with Jet. We now have three exitable little DGDs who would scare the dog as she's not used to children. It would be impossible for them to visit or stay or for us to go and stay with them. - I'm making excuses - it's guilt again!

She's staying with a friend who fosters dogs but it's very short term, just a couple of weeks. Hopefully the Cinnamon Trust will come up with something.

Can the Dog's Trust help at all? Perhaps as an interim measure while you keep looking? Such a nightmare though, I'm sure my children would sort out something for our cats, but you can't help worrying about What If!

Nfk when I saw your thread title, I was going to post about Cinnamon Trust, but I see that you have already gone down that route.

Sorry that I can't help, but wish you luck in finding someone.

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.
