Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Pets / Animals Home needed for a Westie

We have a 7 month old Westie. We have had him since he was 10 weeks old and has now become very aggressive with our daughter and has bitten her! Sometimes she cannot even walk past him without him growling at her. We are trying to find him a new home. He is up to date with his injections. Please get in touch anybody who may be interested. We are not wanting him to go to anybody with children.
Thanks

Well done for your honesty Tash, good luck with the re-homing.X

Thank you.
He is a lovely loving dog, just seems to dislike children.

Hi Tasha..I have added your post to Wirral Animals Needing Homes on Facebook.

does he have any skin problems because the last one we had cost us a fortune and is he ok with other dogs because we have a lapa apsu

Hi Tasha,

Can you bare with - we work alongside rescues and behaviourists and might be able to get him a space were someone will work with him, he is to young to just pass on as not liking children, someone can rehome and work with him - please just wait for me to respond, its in your dogs interests =)

Bridget is right Tasha...she knows a lot of people that can help you and your puppy x

Tasha - how old is your daughter? =D

Ok Tasha I need to know 3 things, the age of the daughter he does not like, whether he is good with other dogs and whether he is good with cats xxx Please let me know asap =D

Tasha I have a lovely lady called Sue who can take your dog, she works with little dogs and fixes behaviours before finding them loving and vet checked homes, she also provides lifetime back up for the dog should anything go wrong - is this something you would be interested in, I can assure you 100% your dog will be a happier dog when he is assessed and trained with Sue =) She is a registered charity and I can provide you with proof of who she is. xxx

Thanks everyone. Our daughter is 7! He doesn't dislike her all of the time, this is why we feel there is a trust issue. He also did go for my 5 yr old niece.
With other dogs he is very playful but again can show aggressive tendencies towards them.
Need to speak to my husband bridget and will get back to you. But do appreciate your help. Obviously we don't just want him to go just anywhere.

Ok Tash, no worries, the lady concerned will contact you personally should you require her help and she will be able to prove the dog rescue she runs. And hopefully your little pupster can be worked with and rehomed with lifetime back up from Sue so he will always have somewhere to go should he need it. This lady adores her dogs and he would definately be in safe hands. I can't send you my number because as says you are full or something, so if you would like our help please inbox me your number and I will let you know how it all works

Hi i live alone and would love a westie . i am good with animals and he would have my full attention any pics? x

Hi, thanks for your interest. I will have a look later to see if i can upload a picture on here. If not do you have an email address i could forward to? As i said Lewis is a loving dog but has no patience with children, each day he is becoming increasingly more aggressive with our daughter, sometimes just for walking past. I understand this is something that im sure can be worked on but sadly our trust has been affected and therefore we are wanting to re home him. We would like him to go to a nice home and would love for the new owner to keep in touch with Lewis' progress and should there be any problems contact us and we will be happy to help.
If you are interested would you want to meet Lewis at the weekend?

Bridget, thank you, i will try to empty my inbox for you to send the number that would be very much appreciated.
