Just Seen A Little
Just seen a little dog who could steal my heart but am trying to give myself time to grieve for Mr Harv until after Xmas.
Anyway doggie is about 18 months old - what maximum age is a puppy.
Oh would love this wee doggy.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.To be honest I only know personally about cats - they wanted to know about how secure the outside/garden area was, my working patterns, other members of the household - all a bit over the top IMO. My neighbours rehomed a dog last year and were competing with loads of other people. Their home was visited and they were observed taking the dog for a walk. Nothing too awful, didn't mean to worry you just be prepared - and if they don't think it's right for you they'll tell you. You should go for it I think.
Here's a form that another rehoming centre (not in your area) uses to assess suitability. It gives a few clues as to the type of questions you might be asked:

(Note that the link goes to a Word document. It will open in Word, or whatever other word processor you use which, if I remember correctly, is probably AbiWord).
Don't get freaked out about the possibility of a few questions though. As long as you can show that the dog is going to a good home yopu should have no problems.
This link, from the website of the centre where your doggy is, is well worth a read:

jj I think you do well to mention your age, how old are you? This dog is only young and will in all probability live for a further 12/13 years. If it outlives you, who will take care of it then? I'm sorry, but things like this have to be considered in older people taking on a younger dog. Why not go for a older one altogether?
I did go for it - please see Update on Pixie. Fell in love with her as she seemed so happy - jumping and bouncing. Whereas Mr Harv who was 5 months was like a statue all the times I went up to see him and was a little depressed for about a year. Took him a while for him to come out of his self.
Anyway not getting Pixie by the looks of it. Sorry, shouldn't have started another thread.
