You MUST get the poor girl spayed before rehoming. People scan the free-ads looking for dogs to turn into some sort of profit. And the Rescues are overwhelmed with Staffies. Even Battersea have a waiting list to take them as there are so many.
I`m sorry you feel offended but I once had 2 German Shepherds and 2 small children in a house where the living rooms were on the third floor, bedrooms in the attic and the kitchen in the basement - I just got incredibly fit! I found when having young children that the dog saved my sanity as the walking is wonderful for getting everyone out into the fresh air.

I understand it's difficult, but I agree with Dani contact breed rescue she has given you details on the previous page.

Thing is hun, your first post implicated you were giving the dog up because you had just had a baby, it does upset people, especially as your dog is a Staffie, there are so many in rescue and no-one would want your girl to end up somewhere awful... Contact breed rescue and go from there, they will probably try to help you find her a home from home.
Btw I don't agree with anyone giving up their dog just because they have had a baby... but you have stated there is more than one reason for your decision.

I'm sad for the dog. Poor girl.

Dani is quite right that many people will say whatever you want to hear to get the dog - whihc is why working with a rescue is better.

Someone I used to know gave up her dogs when she was expecting with number two and the "loving home" she gave them to put them to sleep when they couldn't cope. So you never know - she was fooled and her dogs paid the ultimate price

I hope the rescue is able to help you if you are intent on this.

Poor staffies, there are so many of them passed on and so many end up pts
That's why people who are involved in rehomings - like Brundog - get so upset. I don't blame her. She's seen and heard more than anyone should ever have to .

So if you were in house with a garden you would not be looking to rehome her, is that correct?

Do you have any friends or family members that can foster her long term until you get your housing situation sorted? you would obviously have to cover all expenses for the dog though.

I'm not going to judge because I can see that it must be difficult to juggle a young active dog, a toddler and a baby. But like others I can't help but think that you must have known what you were getting yourself into before you took the dog into your home (baby on the way).

Breed rescue is definitely the best way to go. If you attempt to re-home her privately, you won't be able to screen the owners properly...rescue can do that for you.

putting her in a foster home and getting her back when i get a house is the route i wanted to go down but kept getting dead ends so the only other option was to give her up if any one could help me in the foster home route i would appreicate it
