Description
I have a best friend: an Isabella/Tab miniature dachshund (3 years old but still very puppy-like, and my baby!). I recently rehomed him from a woman in Merseyside, and I’m currently based in Manchester.
I adopted him two months ago. His original name was Buddy, but I’ve renamed him B-A-B-I, close enough but a little different.
Due to grief, health issues and major changes in my circumstances, I now need to be with family in the Middle East.
I’m torn between taking him with me or leaving him here. I’ve researched extensively and concluded flying may be exceptionally traumatic for him, and the hot climate, also.
He’s the love of my life and I’d rather give up the job than allow him be uncomfortable. I’m not sure if moving him on a plane, with quarantine either side, is right for him. He has extreme separation anxiety and is very much a “Velcro dog”.
About Babi:
* Exceptionally loyal, loving and cuddly
* Fully toilet trained, sits and heels on command, never begs
* Doesn’t bark unless left alone
* Loves long walks (despite short legs), swimming, lazy mornings on the sofa, his own space, tennis balls and endless fuss
* Gets on well with other dogs, though can be stroppy in true dachshund style
* Prefers women, wary of children and men due to his past, but warms up if he senses trust
He is un-neutered (I plan to do this eventually, though I’ve considered allowing him to stud first). He is flead, wormed, microchipped and has an outstanding vet care plan I pay monthly for.
I’m looking for someone kind, reliable and loving to foster him for around five months, or possibly for a shorter time while I arrange his travel paperwork if my vet agrees it’s safe. I will cover all costs: food, toys, bedding, vet care, and even a toy allowance.
I will pay a monthly fee of at least 100, also.... But this is not a job opportunity - I need someone with a big heart!! Just want to compensate fairly... This is URGENT - as in needs to be sorted by the weekend...
This is foster only, not adoption. I would need him back.
It could be ideal for someone who can’t commit full-time to owning a dog, perhaps a mature student or single woman.
If you are genuinely interested or even have advice, please contact me.
This is a delicate matter for me. Life has been cruel recently, and I can’t give him the life he deserves without some stability. I want the very very very very best for him.
Please do privately message me, and I’ll share my phone number. Thank you
