My friend is a vet in Newcastle. A client brought his 14 year old whippie/lurcher in to be pts today as he had a relationship breakdown and can't take the dog into his new accomodation.
I dont know all the ins and outs obviously, but he agreed to sign Sally over to the vet for rehoming so there is now a 14 year old black lurcher looking for a home.
She needs a dental which will be done while she is being fostered in the vets. Apparently she is really friendly, good with other dogs but hates cats. Also good on and off lead, and is remarkably spritely for her age. If they hadnt been told she was 14 they would have put her between 8 and 10.
If anyone is interested, or can help she is at First Vets in Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Tel. 0191 276 1064

it always upsets me more when an old dog is made homeless through no fault of their own,i always think how confused and upset an old person would be never mind an old dog.breaks my heart.
