3. Re-homing dogs

Friday, Nov 21, 2009, 4.30 am

Nowadays, it is not so simple just to post any picture of a dog for rehoming as there are just too many dogs wanting a new home in Singapore.

I have created an attractive advertisement of TTT for you. Good pictures help a lot in rehoming dogs. With a good visual advertisement, TTT has a better chance of finding a good home. The picture shows her looking hopefully into the horizon "LOOKING for a new home."

Yesterday, one of my clients came in for his dog's annual vaccination and check up. I noted that his Jack Russell, a neutered male of around 3 years was rather stout and has a thick neck. An canine equivalent of the sumo wrestler. He looked 80% of the size of my neighbour's neutered male Jack Russell. Too much of good food and an excellent appetite, I would say.

This dog is much bigger in size than TTT who is athletic and slim even though she was spayed. She had lots of exercise. This stout Jack Russell should command your alpha female's respect. Dog size seems to matter in Toffee's canine relationship.

I asked the owner whether he could adopt TTT. He had wanted a puppy, but Jack Russell puppies for sale in the internet cost more than $400.



He agreed to take TTT for a 2-day trial. TTT will be in a good home with a garden. I hope she wil be happy with this bigger male.

A picture of TTT is attached for your friend to post on the internet if things don't work out well for TTT.

Best wishes
