Homeless at 15
I saw a poster at the vet's office yesterday, someone looking to rehome a 15-year old husky/German shepherd. Very sad backstory.
According to the poster, he is on the small side, good company, not growly(although a bit of a barker). No mention of his behaviour with other dogs or whether he is neutered. I know it's a long shot but figured he could use the exposure :sad:. Anyone who is interested in pursuing this should PM me. |

Badger that is so sad! I cant imagine what this poor dog is going to go through! let alone anyone that takes him in!
Its too bad that these family pets have to live out any remaining days they have in another place! Maybe the vet would be nice and let him be the office mascot?? How can someone rehome a dog after 15 yrs???????

I cannot fathom how someone could be so cold.:sad: A dog that has been loyal for 15 years gets repaid by being tossed out to spend his remaining few years with strangers or worse in a shelter because no one wants to adopt a senior dog.:sad:

How horribly sad is this?? What a way to spend your senior years! I pray that someone will open their hearts and home.

This just breaks my heart. Most of us would give our eye teeth to have our beloved pets live healthily and happily to 15, 16 years. Here is a perfectly beautiful dog in his twilight years left behind in an incredibly stressful situation
I wish I could help but we are at the "house limit" here. Please keep us posted if you hear of how this gets resolved. |

My mom needed some company so I scoped out the SPCA shelter in our small town and found a cat that would suit her. When we adopted Charlie (who was about 9 or 10 at the time) we discovered that her first mom had to go into assisted living. Charlie has been an amazing companion for my mom.

Two rescue groups have already weighed in to help advertise this boy and there is a person who has already expressed interest.

Sometimes there just is no family-members to take care of the animals.
I have 3 sons,but none of them would be able to care for my cats,all I can do is hope that one of us(hubby or me)will outlive our cats. This poor pup,just breaks your heart He is obviously with someone right now,I wonder if it is the owner??

Yes the owner still has him, and I don't think she'll be giving him up to just anybody, that's for sure. I gave her the pets.ca website and hope she'll come on and let us know what happens.

Badger - I was reading the Dogs X 3 Newspaper yesterday and there is an article there about a rescue called Sheba's Haven Rescue purely for senior dogs, it is a little north of Kingston. I don't know if that could be worth checking out.

Thanks, Chris. The owner lives here in Montreal; I'm hoping she'll log on and follow this thread.

Do you know if she visits pets.ca or not, if not maybe an email to bring it to her attention.

We have a similar situation at the boarding kennel I work at. The owner went into the hospital and couldn't afford to keep boarding the dog/ The dog's name is Champ, and he is 12. He is mostly German Shepherd. He seems to have a good temperment, reserved but friendly. If anyone knows of someone who might be looking for a nice older dog, let me know. He needs to get out of the kennel environment.

Montreal, we also have an middle aged shepherd husky mix femal with a blue eye, Granny, and a male pit bull, King. They are kinda part of the scenery, because they are older or have issues. But, idealy they need to find homes. Ill see if I can take some pictures next time I go in,
