What a sad and selfish reason for them to miss out on a good home together.

I have rehomed dogs I was fond of in various parts of the country, if you care that much you can travel to visit them.

Am I too far away? I live in East Cornwall and sadly lost my black lab the sun before xmas. I had her from 8 wks to 13 years and she was an absolute gem. Brilliant with my children of 5 and 2. Just a joy to have! We all miss her terribly and feel now is the time for the house to contain black labs once more! Can i help? Am i too far away? Visit most welcome! I'd expect nothing less if i had to re-home a lab myself!

If its a goer Tassle or I could home check for you----we are in Cornwall.

Oh fingers crossed here that this is a happy turn out

me too sounds promising huh?

It sure does - shall keep an eye for updates!

i rehomed for a rescue for 15 yrs.
its pretty damn hard to home pairs, so id be flexible on the location front if i were you,
ie, give the potential arrangments for cornwall a chance.

lots of people handed over dogs to us stating we had to home them together,
we made it clear we would assess this need ourselves, as more often than not, its just a human emotional need and perception, and the dogs coped when separated into different kennels etc.

if you remain strict on BOTH your criteria on the basis you can take as long as you like etc, then this does beg the question why not keep them?

aside from the money, the pet passport arrangements and climate change is not such a big deal.
naturally one can understand if their are other reasons the chap cant take the dogs to australia.

in the meantime i would advise that yourself and any future home would start a programme of the dogs learning a bit of independance from each other, at the moment no one is doing them any favours.
ie, what happens when one dies?

their is also a large UK forum which is based all around rescue and rehoming.
called d ogpages

hi rachel

unfortunately.........yes you are too far away.... good luck with your search

these boys MUST stay together and stay as local to here as possible (mid bedfordshire)

several lab rescues are aware of them but i am trying my hardest to find a home myself as these boys are very special to us and we want the very best of everything for them............and to be able to keep in touch/see them still................hence wanting to keep them as local as possible.


please feel free to copy and cross post their details wherever you think might help find that home, anyone wanting to rehome them will be homechecked and interviewed thoroughly

and if needed at any time in their lives they can always come back to us :0)

details...........................

Mack & Moose have been staying with me since august 2010........this was originally a temporary arrangement until their owner returned from australia,however circumstances have changed and they are now looking for a new family.


Mack & Moose are litter brothers........ they are 5 year old black labradors.

They are looking for a new home as their owner has to care for a family member in australia and after much thought has decided it would be in their best interest to be rehomed rather than put them through a massive journey/quarantine and climate change..........

Mack & Moose need a home together........... they cannot be split up.....
both dogs are castrated......fully vaccinated....microchipped..
and very obedient.

They both have excellent recall although moose has more of a mind of his own than mack who is more of a follower.

They are great with my children (10 & 12)...... good around other dogs..... very easy boys

Moose walks nicely on the lead......Mack pulls a little and needs constant reminders to walk to heal...... but once off lead out in the fields they don't go far from me

they are both excellent around livestock and just ignore sheep/chickens etc on walks.

they are staying with me in mid bedfordshire until the right home comes along............ a home check will be required to adopt these two.

if you would like more information on these two lovelies then please email

many thanks for reading and passing along

these boys are 2 very very special boys and deserve only the best !!
