Hello, I wondered if you would be so kind and consider a super rescue service here in the United Kingdom by the name of K9 Angels.

K9 Angels work with a trusted network of dedicated individuals, shelters, vets in order to help save dogs from dangerous countries and rehome them to countries of stability like the UK.

Many thanks,
John

I would get a sugar glider. They are super cute & they are awesome at hiding as well as those sharp claws they have. If all else fails, then they can jump/glide away.

All you need to do is take your dog to the vet on the first day you receive it, and he will explain all the shots and pills necessary to immunize your dog from the diseases in your area. You don't need to "know" all the details, just have the cash for the vet and he'll take care of it. Your dog will need shots for rabies, bordatella, and parvovirus, plus a prescription for worm meds and fleas..

First of all, if it’s a specific breed you are after, you find yourself a reputable breeder – best source being via the Breed Club although you must always do your homework before jumping in and buyingl And you may need to go visit several breeders (but NOT all on the same day, because of the risk of infection!). Always see mum with the litter, meet the breeder and get an impression of the place they are being reared in. If you don’t like, don’t buy!! There will be others.

As for health checks, as always, when you first bring a puppy home, you should book a vet appointment within the first 48 hours. I’d suggest you leave a day between bringing the puppy home, and seeing the vet, to give him a chance to settle after his journey. Obviously the puppies in the litter should all be clean smelling, bright eyed, running around (although puppies sleep lots, so they may all be zonked out when you happen to visit!!). If there is any sour smell at all, rough staring coats, pot bellies, discharge from eyes, nose etc., and signs of diarrhoea, DON’T BUY.

The breeder should provide you with a Puppy Pack which should include a diet sheet (and a small supply of the food the puppies have been given), worming history and vaccination history if any has been given (for you to take with you to your vet), and general information about the breed, dos and don’ts!!

If you adopt from a Shelter, the dog should come with whatever medical history is available, a health certificate from the Shelter vet etc.

Add If you buy in the UK, whether or not the puppy has had any vaccination before sale depends on the age of the puppy. It’s not an indication of a ‘reputable breeder’ because many prefer to send the puppy home at 8 weeks, on the understanding that the new owner will take him to his vet, for his puppy vaccination to be started. Puppies should not be sent home until they are at least 8 weeks, but it’s not illegal to sell a puppy of under this age in the UK, unfortunately! Be aware that BYBs want to get their puppies out asap. So if you are offered one at under 8 weeks, be careful.

hedgehogs, skunks, raccoons, but you have to get a license. What you should know about them is that because they are exotic, they are less affectionate and more wild, they take more work and are harder to train.

My ex use to call me Kitty and I'd call her Puppy. The genders reverse I know but that's what make it so funny and we'll just laugh and smile about it. Hmm~ those were the days tho hahaha!

You can really get almost any pet you would like. Yes, your cats and dogs will be interested and will sniff or even bat at the cage. But telling them firmly "no" is generally enough. When you have the animal out, it is at a higher risk. Simply keep the other animals at bay. They really won’t mess with it as much as you think they will, especially after the first week. Do use caution however, and alwas keep an eye out.
I have 3 cats who were all rescued from different situations. Even the one who was living in a forest (rescued because of an injury) and has the most hunting instinct in her, has little interest in my pet rat, or any of the other small animals i’ve had.
Now for the pet I would suggest rats by all means. They should live in pairs generally though mine doesn’t. But then again, he gets nearly 5 hours of attention from me and has an oddly close bond with one of my cats (this is very rare). However, in the general situation, a same sex or neutered co-ed pair is best. Why should you get a rat? Well first off, if your pets do show any violence toward the rat (which would mostly likely be a simple swat at it) a rat is the best for defending itself if needed and making itself seem tougher, and they won’t wish to mess with it anymore. rats are not commonly tracked after by cats or dogs because they are larger, smarter, and stronger than mice.

However, rats are by far the most loyal and loving of rodents. They can be just like a dog-they can learn tricks, be potty-trained, learn their own name, come when called, play games, etc. They can also be like a cat by sitting in your lap and being pet (this is mostly true for males who are more laid-back, females are more hyper). They are very social and extremely smart. Even as i write this, my rat sits upon my shoulder sleeping contently. I’m in a different house than normal, one with both dogs and cats, and though the cats are mildly interested in the new animal, the dogs don’t care one bit.

So all in all, I would suggest you get a pair of rats after doing some research on them. However, if you cannot get a rat, the second choice would definetely be a dwarf hamster. They are very sweet and loving :)

Good luck on your quest for the ideal furry friend!
