I wish I'd known too, but I wasn't actively looking. :-\

He's just a very old dog really, he just potters around slowly. :luv:

Not sure yet, he has only just been transferred down, and the 5 hour journey back up so soon may be too much for him as he is so elderly and not in good health. :'(

However, he is not being kept in a kennel, he is in Oakfield where the really old and infirm dogs live, so that's one good thing.

is that in foster care then or just indoor kennels?
 
Zen Dog...he knows not where he is going, for the ocean will decide. Its not the destination....its the glory of the ride.

It's a private house next to the centre. Apparently they all have beds in big rooms and are in together, so I don't think it's indoor kennels. I've never been there though.

oh right...sounds ok then  :blink:

I shouldn't keep referring to my Luke, but it took us almost 5 hours to get back from Liverpool with him and he wasn't very healthy at all. But he just sleeps in the car, so was fine  ;) I guess it depends on how well Duke travels  :-\

Dukey wouldn't get much sleep if he had to travel in our car with Gari - Gari squeals with excitement the whole of any car journey! :005:

I really admire the consideration of all the members of this forum - no matter where in the UK we all live, everyone rallies round.  :D :D :D no matter what the problem or issue is.

Fingers crossed Fiona that you can give Dukey that loving comfortable forever home  :luv: :luv: :luv:

The centre called and I'm afraid that Dukey isn't fit to travel. We are a suitable home for him, but he won't be able to come. :'( :'( :'(
I am very upset about it. :'(

As he isn't actually my dog I can't post publicly anything about him other than what is on his profile, but I can PM anyone who wants to talk about him.
