Foster home for dogs needed due to owner having cancer.

Post by Geoffd123 »

In the spring of 2013 I was diagnosed with cancer. At the time we were living in the mountains in a remote farmhouse. Since then we have moved to an apartment in a nearby town where it is more practical for my medical treatment, but neither practical, nor possible, to have our three dogs Theo, Lola and Jess.

We are looking for a foster, or permanent home for them, either individually, or all together.

Currently they are living outside in a run at the old house and friends are tending to them, but this will be impractical over the winter, especially if it snows.

They are three terriers with Jess being the offspring of Theo and Lola.

They are all good with other animals, especially cats and with children.

Please call us on 0468 21 15 52.

Like Sue, we are so very sorry to hear about your condition.
Get in touch with Evelyne; she's a most helpful person and was an absolute godsend when I was looking for a home for a rotweiller I'd rescued from a neighbour.
All the best,Geoff.

In the meantime, can you tell us a little more about them (age, size etc) in case anybody round here is able to take one or more of them? So sorry to hear this and do hope we can find some solution to at least take this weight off you.

Yes I forgot to say Geoff it would be very helpful to Evelyne if you could let her have photos of the three. I am sure she will be able to find someone who can help you.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for you responses. I was on my iPad, so did not have a photo of them. Here is one.

Theo and Lola are about 10 years old, Jess is about 5.


Theo, Lola, Jess, Rizzla (who is no longer with us) and the honary dog Tiger Lily.

Update - good and bad news

Post by MountainGal »

Sadly, Geoff passed away a few weeks ago after a very brave struggle against cancer. His wife has managed to keep one of the dogs, I've managed to home 1 more, Jez is now my boyfriend's new running partner and Theo, the father is currently being fostered by another friend.
