Sorry everyone, the post seemed to disappear, we have found as much as we can and reposted, will keep looking for all posts and will post asap....think we have everyones post back on, if weve missed anyone, please post again - thank you for your patience :-) We were all devastated last week to receive a phone call to say that Rex had to be returned to the kennels. The reason - his owners were having a baby!! This poor soul had been with us the first time around for 9 months before being adopted and we were over the moon when a family came forward and now to be returned after 6 months through no fault of his own left us shell-shocked. The 20 minutes it took us to get him into his kennel (a space of 15 metres) was absolutely heart breaking to say the least and it has taken us a long time to try to settle him back in. He is getting there slowly but as you can imagine he is hating kennel life after being in a home environment so we desperately need to try to find him a home as soon as possible. Please check out his page on our website for more information and lets hope he doesnt have to spend another 9 months in search of his new family smile emoticon Please think hard before you re-home a dog , A dog is for life and should be a loved member of your family and not ...until you have a baby ...or until your relationship breaks up ...or until your hours of work change ...or until you can’t afford your dog anymore ...or until you move and your pet can’t go with you ...or your dog becomes an inconvenience They would never give up on you Please don’t give up on them Forest Dog Rescues photo.

Becki Pound Youre all assuming this dog is child tested. Is he? Hes a rescue dog. Do u all know for a fact hes safe with babies? They obviously didnt plan this or they wouldnt have taken him home in the first place. Who are we to judge when we dont know the whole story. And Forest Dog Rescue if u post something like this when people have to bring back their dog youll discourage them from seeking your help.
