When I need to travel, I board my dog here: www.campbowwow.com Why did you get him to begin with if you weren't willing to accept the responsibility?. You don't just ditch an animal that depends on you because it's inconvenient. If you're really set on giving him away and don't find anyone here, contact the lab rescues in your area, and they may be able to help you. Do not give him to an animal shelter.

peregrinerose 0 #6 August 26, 2008 Heaven forbid you actually take responsibility for the pet you decided to take on. We have a shitload of animals and travel quite a bit. That's why dog-sitters were invented. $15 a visit pays for 45 mins of attention to our critters. On our long days at the DZ on weekends, she visits once in the afternoon so they are fed, let out, cared for, and played with when we can't give the attention ourselves. When we're out of town, they get 3 visits a day. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a valid point, but at least he is trying to find the dog a home instead of taking it on a one way drive somewhere. I live way out in the country and it is amazing the amount of animals that are dumped out there.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guppie01 0 #8 August 26, 2008 Quote it is amazing the amount of animals that are dumped out there.... A fried of mine at Suzuki sent me an email last week... 5 lab pups (about 6-8 weeks) were abandoned... I was proud to see so many people step up to help. All 5 pups had homes within 2 days. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

peregrinerose 0 #10 August 26, 2008 I don't recall saying anything about boarding. My pet sitter comes to my house and takes care of all the critters. $15/visit, I give her dates and times, and she does the rest.

MakeItHappen 15 #11 August 26, 2008 Quote..... And the dog was given to me. Have 3K into the fucker. You have spent $3k on a one year old dog? Why the big expense? How big is the dog? long hair or short hair ? (I'm guessing long hair for golden lab) does he get along with other dogs? If you send me info etc plus pics I can put something on Hemet Animal Rescue. Your best bet is to print out flyers and drop them off at your local vets and feed stores. Most vets will not take emails about lost/found dogs or dogs looking for new parents. Call all the local dog sitters. They usually know about people in need of a new or replacement dog. There is a (no-kill) place in Vista that took in a stray I found several years ago. The wife of a skydiver runs that place. Also North County HS (no-kill) takes in dogs. There's also another lab placement rescue place around Riverside County that can help you too. Google would be your friend. If you want more info email me at aerosoftware_AT_MakeItHappen.com _AT_ = @ Lesson learned - I hope - Dogs are a big responsibility. Not as big as a kid, cuz you can tie dogs to the truck and go skydiving. Do that with a kid and you might just get arrested. ..
