This is just my tuppence worth, but here goes..

The opening post was badly worded, it came across as new baby in, dog out, I am afraid that is how I and obviously others read it.

Rehoming is a highly emotive subject and Porshipoo did the right thing starting a new thread when this one got heated.

Maybe in future anyone offering a dog for rehoming should just give the breed, sex and age in their post and lock the topic. Dealing with any serious enquiries by pm or by giving a phone number.
