    A friend of a friend has to rehome her german shepherd. She ďivorced her womanising husband and kept her dog .who now is just over 2 year old. She has been struggling since she lost her job in september due to ill health. Its due to her ill health plus the financial difficulty she cannot look after herself plus her dog. She spends many a day in bed with brain fog due to her health problems.
    A good neighbour is coming in several times a day to take the dog for walks and to feed her in the morning plus help her with medication
    . She is coming to the decision sadly she would need to ask a rescue to rehome her.
    She has only contacted one rescue to be told they ask for a donation of £ 75 . She can pay them something Plus she would have to keep her at home for would be adopters to come to see her which is impossible due to her ongoing health problems admitted her husband would look after her when they were together. Going through the divorce brought new problems , I think this is asking a lot of her .

    Do all the rescue s who offer rehoming work like this ?

      Try contacting The Cinnamon Trust. They are based in Hayle in Cornwall but work nationwide.
      They have been going for 40 years and send out a newsletter which is always full of happy stories.

      They rehome dogs and other animals and also organise volunteer dog walkers for people who are temporarily unable to walk their dogs themselves.

      Telephone 01736 757900. Email [email protected]. Website www.cinnamon.org.uk

        I got my dog from the Dogs Trust last year, they have kennels all over the country.

        I dont think they would expect you to keep the dog and have people come round, I think you probably pass ownership over to them.
        They then do all the necessary checks and get to know the dogs temperament before they would even think of rehoming it.

          @Fat Controller may have some suggestions for you as he was helping with a dog charity.
