Rehoming a dog - seemingly impossible
Discussion
He's at the vet today having a skin tag removed from his back leg. Minor operation, and I suppose not strictly necessary, but if he snagged it in the fields, it'll bleed and bleed the vet said.
He's also 6kg lighter than when we got him. Yet eating like a horse. Must be all the exercise!

Had no idea how overwhelmed dog shelters were.
My girlfriend has no option but to try to rehome ‘her’ dog, Teddy. It actually is really her ex husband’s dog, they got divorced 18 months ago, and he always said he’d have the dog back when he sorted himself out a place to live, but he’s now got a flat which is unsuitable and has refused to have it.
She needs to be dog free by the end of the month, and said I’d help try to find a new home for Teddy But after contacting around 40 places, from well known organisations such the Dog’s Trust and Birmingham Dog’s Home, to smaller places, I can’t even manage to get him on a waiting list.
Is this a regional problem? (In the Midlands) or is it the same across the country?

Why get a dog in the first place?
Why not find your local dog's home that doesn't put down healthy dogs (to salve you conscience). Then early one morning, go there, park round the corner so you don't appear on their CCTV, tie the dog up outside, tie a note to his collar to the effect - 'please take him' and leave him.
Job done.
