I am looking for a new home for my 3 year old white turkish terrier. If anyone can help please contact me through my profile. She is up-t-odate with injections and looked after by Serkan Vets. Thanks. Caz

-
Also wanted to add she is very cute and loving, loves playing and walks. Caz
-
Caz you might want to amend your subject line - it doesn't say anything about the dog, people might be thinking it's you looking for a property. I'd mention the terrier in the title to get the right people viewing. Good luck.
-
Thanks for that Scunner, not amended title. Caz
-
oops can't spell. Now amended title. Caz
-
can anyone remind me how to add a photo as want to put one of the dog as she is a cutie?
-
You can send it to me and I'll add it caz - keith @ calisbeach.com
-
Thanks just emailed you the photo. Caz
-
photo now posted of zilli. She needs a new home as we have a new baby and dont have enough time to give to her at the moment which is very sad, as we have looked after her for nearly 3 years!
-
I have tried so hard not to say something about your post but it has got the better of me.
I'm am part of the animal aid team here in calish and I am going to beg you to rethink about not being able to cope with zilly.
You have no idear of the amount of dogs that are no longer wanted or owners have to return to England and can't or won't take there animals with them.
Surely you must have a friend who could walk her ? And then you would just have to feed Zilly
I am in tears at having to send this to you if only you could see the amount of dogs and cats that need homing at the animal shelter most of them have never had affection or been loved,
I just don't see why or how you could even think of of parting with zilly, maybe you do have a good enough reason ?
Or maybe you should have never had a dog in the first place, take a trip up the centre and look at all those unwanted little faces.
I will stop writing now as my blood has reached boiling point and I'm afraid that I will write something that might offend you .
Ps sorry if this has touched a raw nerve but as I said my concern is for the animals and not the owners.
-
it broke my heart when i read this topic. i am over there on monay 6th and am quite willing to take your little dog for a walk if its possible. I have to leave my little yorkshire terrier in kennels while i am away and i shall miss her so much and i know she will miss us but at lleast i know she is safe and being looked after...please rethink about this!
-
after reading about the terrier i think its a poor excuse to get rid of the dog as i have 2 terriers myself and children please re think
-
How critical people are being!
If caz35 can't give her pet the attention it deserves because she has a new baby then so be it - I'm sorry but in my opinion the baby comes first and if someone feels the two don't mix that is up to them - and please nobody come back and say that they shouldn't have a baby if they can't look after both.
Terrie - appreciate you are an animal lover but to say your priority is the animal not the owner is really very narrow-minded when you don't know the circumstances.
Hope you find a good home for your pet caz35.
-
Lets just see how critical people are when a dog jealous of the attention of a new baby takes a bite at the baby. I am sure there will be a lot more people then saying you shouldnt have dogs around newborns.
I have a baby and these last few posts have really wound me up, for god sake she has a newborn baby, dont think she needs a guilt trip about trying to rehome her dog. Its not like she has dumped it at the shelter, for all anyone knows she could have been a rescue dog to start with and a dog that you dont know the history of is a risk around children anyway.
Hope you find a new home for her Caz
-
not being critical but don't use the baby as a excuse sorry i am a animal lover x
-
She wasnt using it as an excuse, it is a reason. Obviously she has tried to keep the dog but things arent working out having a dog living in the same house as the baby, so she is trying to rehome it. I dont understand what she has supposedly done wrong here, she isnt saying that she will abandon the dog if she cant find another owner she is looking for a more suitable environment for the dog to live in.

I think a baby is more of a priority than a pet - and I think you are being a tad critical
-
It's a request for help, not a request for advice!
-
Absolutely Scunner
I respect people that take time out to care for the well-being of animals but challenging why this dog needs a new home is going too far.
It was surely enough of a signal that caz35 cares in that she asked for a new home and didn't just abandon the dog.
-
Hi, I was in two minds to put my ad on here and seriously now wish I hadn't for those horrible comments that I have received when people do not even know my situation. Thank you so much for the nice comments as well as I do appreciate them. Zilli was a rescue dog and no I won't be abandoning her or leaving her on the streets. Our decision hasn't come lightly to find a new home for her and it upsets me that we have to do so as myself and my husband rescued her nearly 3 years ago and love her to bits. She has unfortunately become very jealous of the baby and I also can't leave her home alone anymore as she is jealous when I take the baby out without her and barks all the time and because of this our landlord told us that we have to find her a new home or leave ourselves. This is only part of the reason as I feel I don't have to explain myself on here, but if anyone wants to contact me through my profile please do so and the others please keep your negative comments to yourself!
-
perhaps if you had told the full storey people would understand they are not nasty comments brits are a dog loving nation sorry if you think they were nasty
-
What a shame you did not put the reason as to why you needed a new home for your little dog.
You don't need to justify yourself , but I am sure that it would of helped people myself included to understand why a new home was needed.
Animal aid try very hard to rehome many cats and dogs but we also get to see all the ones that are not wanted this was the reason for my concern.
I would not suggest for one minute that to have a possessive dog around a baby is ok
But as I have already said the reason for needing to rehome your dog would have helped.
So I really don't think that I was being narrow - minded my concern At that moment was for your dog.
Good luck in finding a new home.

She didn't ask anyone to understand, she asked if anyone could take the dog.
-
Its all too easy for people to jump on the bandwagon and have a go a Terrie for her comments (of which I totally back) but you are not doing the job she is doing, getting the calls she is getting to pick up animals that have been abandoned or that people just no longer want the animals....she and the Animals Aid team pick up the pieces on so many occasions that you dont see...trying to find homes for all these lovely animals its truly heartbreaking.
No one would want any harm to a baby and animals do get jealous....bit for pitys sake give them a chance....my son has the most gorgeous dog Hamish, they had him for a year before their baby was born and yes he got jealous but they fussed him ad made him feel wanted and now he loves their little girl and its one big happy family .....all we would ask is give it a go and try and make it work instead of shutting the door.......please....
-
I just hope some one can give him a good home As ever I want this dog but cannot!
Hate all the negative commments of why you cant keep. A baby is more important and my rescue dog although lovely and loyal, I wouldnt trust him near a baby because he is too loyal and hates strangers
-
I am looking for a new home for my dog and asked for anyone interested to email me through my profile. I didn't want to give all my reasons on here as anyone who was definately interested, would have emailed me for the information anyway. So Terrie and Harley don't jump to such conclusions the next time. Why didn't you just email me to ask for the reasons if you were that concerned? I love zilli to bits but my baby comes first no matter what anyone says. I am on my own with a newborn (husband working in tourism) and dog, trying to do it all, so don't judge before you know the full story. Caz

Fair comments Caz and a shame you had to go through all of this justification!:(
-
Beautiful little dog Caz, I hope you find a really lovely home for her. Wish I could take her but we have 4 already, 3 of them re-homes, they settled in very quickly with us, you would never know they had previous owners. We re-homed one of them for much less reasons why you are trying to find a new home for yours, we didn't judge we just felt blessed to have her. Good luck x
-
Good luck in rehoming the dog Caz35,
Some of the comments on here are beyond belief: :),
Maybe you should have asked for help rehoming your baby instead of the dog:(.
For me its a no brainer human v dog..... human every time.
good luck.
( got my tin hat on )
-
I can only say sorry for having upset you Caz, but please believe my intentions where to help zilly.
Sometimes when you deal with animal problems rehoming etc on what can be a daily bases for almost three years it's easy to think of people in your situation wrongly.
There are lots of times when people don't care about there animals welfare and we are left to pick up the pieces.
Maybe I have learnt a lesson myself over your posting about Zilly and will not be so quick to judge next time.
Being an animal lover can be heartbreaking sometimes as I am sure you know

Nicely put Terrie - e-hug on it's way :)
-
Just hope all the negative comments haven't spoilt my chances of finding a new home for zilli, so will keep adding to this post for a few days to keep it to the top!
-
Hi Caz, we have been re-homing dogs for the last two years, it isnt easy and its getting harder unfortunately, I have had Zilly on my Facebook for the last couple of days and I know at least six other people have re-posted it on theirs, if anyone has a facebook please add Ziily to it and ask you friends to re-post if they have friends in Turkey.
Tinx :)
-
A heart breaking decision for you Caz - fingers crossed that a new home will be found for beautiful Zilly soon. If anyone can help Tinx can ;):D She looks a lovely little girl, I'm sure someone right will come along soon.
-
Thanks Tinx and Pookie. I am hoping there is someone out there can help, but if not, I won't abandon her and we will just have to work something out! Caz
-
Caz, I really hope whatever happens does for the best, she looks a truly adorable little poppet. X
-
As a dog lover this type of thing really makes my blood boil - so you find, afer three years, that you cant cope - unbelievable! i cannot write any more i am so so angry.
-
Why does everyone have to force their opinion on to the lady? It is not about "not being able to cope after three years". After 3 years of giving a little comfort to a rescued dog her situation has changed. It is nobodies business unless you can offer a home, as this is the topic. We had to give up our dog that we had from 8 weeks to 12 years old when our kids were born. He was a wonderful little guy but changed when they arrived into a jealous little thing, getting grumpy, snappy and even peeing on their toys. Someone had to go and we couldn't find a home for the twins.
People come here when they feel someone out there might be able to help in difficult situations that life throws at us. That is one of our functions. Not to rip the private lives of other members apart in public. I would hesitate to ask for something on here sometimes - what sort of a community is this??
Now please members, leave the lady alone and reply if you can help her.
-
well said Keith
-
Poor Caz, hope you are strong enough to ignore this negative post. Caz I am a real dog lover and I want you to know that I think you are first and foremost being a responsible parent and secondly a responsible dog owner. You want a loving home for your dog and I hope you find one, I really hope that someone can give her a loving home. Good luck honey.
-
Hi Caz. Its not easy trying to do everything yourself & I am sure your patience is wearing thin & you are thinking of the best solution for everyone including Zilli. Perhaps until you find a new home you would accept some help in training Zilli out of her issues - at least to buy you some time with your landlord. Let me know when you are free ( after 6pm would be best for me & hopefully when baby is having a nap ) & will come over & see what we can do together. There may be only very basic changes you need to make but just as there has been a big change in your life with baby coming along so there has in Zillis " pack" & she needs to learn her new role.Chris
-
I am glad your blood is boiling Martha McGinn as I assure you mine is boiling a lot more than yours after your 'comments'. Who do you think you are posting a comment like that when you don't know me and surely you have read the post and my situation. I have a baby now, I didn't 3 years ago and doing what is best for my baby and my dog. My dog is protecting the baby from me now, which isn't good or do you think I should just keep the dog until she bites the baby? As Scunner says above leave the lady alone and reply alone if you can help her. Caz
-
ok guys put your pitchforks & the noose down there is not going to be a lynching here today. Caz asked for help when she could have anonymously "dumped" the dog at the home as many other so called dog loving Brits have done. Caz has a young baby & is not a "permanently on holiday sitting around doing nothing ex pat " she & her Turkish husband work very hard & now with a young much wanted baby in the family Caz has alot on her plate. I have been through exactly the same situation where we were both working in tourism & my husband was working very long hours & could not provide much support / help with our baby. I have offered to help with retraining Zilli after work - you never know she may not need rehoming but if she does then Caz will make sure she goes to the best one possible
-
Well done Chris. Caz was looking for help, not opinions.
-
As you are a new member, let's hope any other postings from you
are not as rude and negative as this one. Assuming you have read why this topic is here, perhaps a little consideration to Caz and her family would have been better.

Well said Col and thanks Chris for your kind words and help. Now can we please concentrate on anyone who can help zilli, rather than nasty comments. Caz
-
Hi again
Just wanted to say that we are still looking for a loving home for zilli as wanted to get the ad back on the first page again for a little while longer. Thanks. Caz
-
Great offer Chris and must be worth exploring.
-
Agree with Firo, very kind offer from Chris and worth considering.
-
Any luck finding a new home yet?
-
Funny I was thinking exactly the same thing earlier, hope the problems are sorted
-
Hi, no sadly not even had one person interested so just doing my best at the moment. Chris has helped with training zilli which did help, but she is still so jealous of the baby. So if anyone can help and re-home zilli, please contact me through my profile. Thanks..Caz
-
Good Luck, there must be someone out there who would like a friendly, house trained dog
-
That is what I am hoping as things are a little difficult at the moment. Caz
-
All Caz wanted was help, and yet again the Forum nasties come out of the wood work. Give the girl a chance and you will understand the situation. By the way , what about all the so called 3 monthers who come here and befriend a stray and then leave. How does that dog feel, when it thinks it has found a home and then discarded again. I'm not saying don't help an animal, but be careful how far you go.
-
I think you'll find the last few posts were in fact asking Caz for an update on developments.
No nasties as far as I can see.
Six years and seventeen posts, the last of which is totally uncalled for Philip.
-
Just posting one last go on this topic as today our landlord has given us 10 days to rehome our dog or we have to leave ourselves. So please if anyone can help to rehome zilli please contact me through my profile. How landlords can agree to your dog at the beginning then change their minds when it suits them, I don't understand! Thanks..Caz
-
There must be someone somewhere who can give this little dog a home even if it is just a foster home while they try to find a new owner for her
-
Hi, how is she with other dogs and does she chase chickensd, catsd goats etc, also can she be off the lead? Sorry to ask all the questions, but already have 4 real bitches, who chase everything so would need to know how much extra strength I would need!!
-
Hi, she chases cats if she gets the chance, but not sure about chickens and goats. When out walking she is always the first to go and say hello to other dogs, but not really been around them as such other than in passing on the street. Most of the time she is OK, but can snap if a dog rushes over to her first . Yes she can be off the lead as my husband has her off the lead quite a lot, I normally like to keep her on but that is just me. Would you be interested as it sounds like you have your hands full already? Do all your dogs live inside? Have you a garden? I can phone you for a further chat tomorrow if you let me know your number if this hasn't put you off. Thanks. Caz
-
Any news on finding a new home for Zilli? Has the landlord had a change of heart and allowed you to stay?
-
Think that if the right home came along then they would rehome her but until then they are trying to find a way around the issues with the landlord etc
-
An update on zilli - hi we did find a nice couple from Bodrum who wanted to rehome zilli but when it came to letting her go, myself and my husband just couldn't do it, so she is still with us and we are trying to work things out! We are standing up to the landlord, but he keeps saying either the dog goes or we do, so sadly we are having to try and find a new place to live which is quite difficult, as we really need to have a garden for the dog, as then we could keep zilli away from the baby. We do want to stay around the Tuzla area of Fethiye if possible, if anyone knows of any apartments or houses with a garden to rent long term, unfurnished or partly furnished. Thanks for all your help. Caz
-
Good luck Caz, sure it will all work out fine eventually ;)
-
Yes good luck Caz really hope it all works out in the end for you and your family and Zilli :)
-
You big softy Caz :) Good Luck
-
I'm only just catching up with this topic and I'm astonished at some of the viscious comments caz has had to put up with. Totally uncalled for!
It's obviously been a very difficult time for the family and all I can say is I really hope you get things sorted soon and start enjoying family life again.
Good luck :)
-
Thanks Everyone. Caz
