How sad reading all these stories about dogs needing to be rehomed, we had a golden cocker spaniel for 12 years, he was everything you could ask of a dog and we were devastated when we lost him in January this year, we missed him so much we felt we needed to get another dog, we again choose a cocker spaniel but had a blue roan this time, we have had him 6 months now and although he’s a beautiful dog and very loving he’s a nightmare to live with, he has unlimitless energy and is very wilful, he doesnt get the excercise he needs and deserves so much more than we can give him, I couldnt bear to just sell him on so thought he might make a good sniffer dog for the police and found this blog whilst searching, I feel very guilty that we cant cope with him but i’m at the end of my tether now.

Not sure what we are going to do, I keep telling myself that things will get better and he will grow out of all the bad behaviour but i’m not sure if my sanity will last that long, hope all the others who have posted have managed to find good homes for their dogs and its a shame prospective dog owners couldnt read these stories before going to get a new dog.

I have a rottweiler cross collie, he is more rotty than collie, lovely lively dog 6 months of age. i would like to home him with a police dog handler because i think he would make an excellent skills dog. He is quite big for his age as his dad, who is my dog, is an excellent pedigree Rottweiler, blade, the pup, is black with a tail and can do tricks i have learnt him, he is a clever dog, i need to re-home him as my daughter is due to have a baby soon and 2 rottweilers is too much for me to handle as i am dissabled. Thank you for your time in reading my post.

I have a 1/2 pit 1/2 boxer (brindle color) who is remarkable. I know I cannot keep her. She is very smart and refuses to stay in her cage. she bites the medal (5 months old) and pries the bars open. jumps off cars, porches and anything to get what she wants. I think her skills would be better used as someone to help others. she is a good girl but too smart.

have a doberman 2 1/2yrs.Kenneled 14 mos. I adopted him and spent 12 wks. together.Was diagnosed hyperthyroidism,my personnal vet found lab tests inconclusive.Removed him from medication.Hyperactivity stayed the same.We became involved with some very agressive play,and at 90lbs. he got the best of me.His first home( puppy to around 1 yr) he lived with three teenage boys thus rough play.I think he could easily be a work dog of some kind.His personality and demeanor fit your discription to the T.This dogs education has been curbed from the shelter kenneling him exscessivally.Agression to other dogs is now another problem for him to overcome.He is eager to please and learn.Good spirit.
any assistance or advice.Possible other outlets for a dog of this nature.I would muchly appreciate.

THANK YOU Miss Chrissy

Be very careful about giving up or even selling a dog to the Police. The quality of training is often quite poor. Some forces will destroy dogs that don’t make the grade or “forget” any agreement to return if failed.

More thana few cases have come to light in which the treatment of animals was downright criminal.

hi,

I have a 2 year old bullmastiff cross. He loves to be out and about although doesn’t get on with people. He is known to bite and I think he would make a brilliant police dog.

If you think you could have him please give me a call.
