I'm afraid I'm going to sound like a loon, but my cat goes where I go. And if my cat can't go where I go, I don't go.
He's family. |

My friends moved to the Caribbean and paid about £600 each for their dogs to be flown with them but put in a pressurised hold. That was for the tickets and their dog passports etc. And the flight took far less than a shipping container

Duome thanks for sharing your lovely dog story. On a similar note, just over a year ago my older dog was feeling her age of 13 years. We then got ourselves a bonkers Springerdoodle puppy. Our older dog has since lost half her weight and is actually enjoying life and her walks once again. You wouldn’t think she was 14. Fingers crossed that she too lives another 6 healthy years.
OP Good luck in New Zealand to you, your dog and your family

Just realised you are considering not taking him. Pls take him. We get 2-3 animals in the shelter a week that have been left because of emigration or moving in general. Many stay for months or longer before finding homes. We had to pts one this week who was with us a year, got more and more aggressive and was severely over weight (even after a year!) and terrified of people. Very sad. His family moved 100 miles away, they could of taken him but for some reason didn't bother.

My cats are part of the family, the day I took them on I took on a responsibility, I could never leave them , not only because I would miss them to much , it would just not be right to do so , my feeling is that you don't drop responsibility. Either they would go with me , and if I couldn't afford it then I wouldn't go.

That is so sad. A friend had her dog put down after having a baby. She lied to us and said the dog had been put in a shelter, but her husband blurted it out

Thats disgusting!! Why didnt she rehome?
I dont think I could be friends with someone that heartless. On the other hand there are some good folk out there,We had one old dog come in last week, the family had a new baby who was really allergic to him, they had tried everything but the allergy was getting worse as she grew, they sobbed and balled and spent a good twenty mins in the car park trying compose themselves, it brought a tear to everyone at the centres eyes. I can't imagine that choice. Good news is he found a home within about a week and will be going soon. |
