Please give my animals a home

Sorry for the long post...

We are returning home in June and due to personal circumstances we are unable to take our 2 dogs and 1 cat with us. All animals are fully vaccinated, and have had the rabies blood tests, as we originally intended on taking them with us. We are looking for homes now so we know before leaving that all animals are happy and settled into their new homes.

Jessie - Is a very, very, shy 18 month old small/medium female desert dog mix rescued from K9 friends. She was very scared of everyone and everything for close to a year but has now come out of her shell more and wishes she could be a lap dog. Unfortunately she is still very wary of children and strangers until she gets to know them. She can also be quite aggressive and dominant when meeting other dogs.
Ideally Jessie would be suited to a loving and patient home with teenagers or adults who are willing to take their time getting to know and love her.

Ellie - Is a 12 month old female small/medium mixed breed rescued from K9 friends. She is very friendly and loves to smother you with kisses. If you are not giving her enough attention you may find you are licked to death. Although having grown up with my 2 children, Ellie would be suited to a home with older children or adults.

Only people with previous experience owning dogs please apply. If Jessie and Ellie could be homed together that would be even better

Polly - Is a small sized female tabby (2 yrs) who likes to sleep and do her own thing. She can be more like a dog in that she loves to follow when going for walks or a swim in the park. She is used to being around dogs but not sure what she would be like with other cats.

pictures can be provided.

Please don't judge, I only want the best for my pets!

Thank you

No worries clobel...I do tend to be very defensive of K9. ;) Like I said, I know things can change and I really do hope this all works out for you and the animals. I trust you have told K9 of the change in your circumstances?

Thanks Teabag for that info, I will give them a call. Green-ish, sorry your thought my original post was disrespectful. That was not my intention and I obviously worded it incorrectly. K9 friends do a fantastic job with all the dogs. As previously mentioned, when we adopted (not rescued) the animals, it was for life. Unfortunately things have changed and we cannot take them and I am feeling very bad about this. I am just wanting to do the best thing for our dogs and cat and find a suitable loving home for them.

I feel the need to stand up for K9 friends. You did not "rescue" them from K9. K9 rescued them from whatever situation they were in and gave them food, shelter, medical care and love. K9 also trusted that they had a life-long home with you. Believe me, I understand from personal experience that circumstances change and we can't always keep that lifelong promise...but your wording is really disrespectful of the amazing work K9 Friends does. I do hope the animals find lovely new homes. Good luck.

Contact Lucky Vets in Barsha 1 - they are having open adoption day on Saturday. Ask if you can bring along your brood to meet potential new families.

Its sad to see you cant take your animals home, If you have 6 months to get new homes then why cant you take them with you. Dubai is overloaded and I know FF are full to the brim and with a waiting list aswell. I know K9 are also struggling. Hope you find homes for your beloved pets.

It is great that you are taking 6 months to find a home. I can suggest that first, you put up a link to the pictures of your animal family. 2nd be very aggressive in sending out posters of your animal family to all the vets, grocery stores tat will let you put them up, flyers in your area with pictures of course, dubizzle etc. This way, if someone comes forward and offers a home to any or all of your animals, there is time for you to help settle them in, be there to answer questions and if it does not work out, find another home. Good for you for taking a long time but....as I said, be aggressive as right now you have the time to do that. The last month before you leave, it will be difficult and you want them settled before then. Also, make up a list of questions for the potential adopters and because you have time, take the animals yourself to their new home so you can see where they are going. Go with your gut as it is usually right. All the family must come and see the animals...anyway,. good luck in your quest for new families :)

If you can not find suitable homes, please do the right thing and have your animals put down by a proffesional prior to you leaving.
