Kayla, you HAVE to get your mom to listen to reason and deal through a rescue or no kill shelter. This news has obviously upset everyone on Pet Talk (including me) and everyone here is willing to do what we can to get these guys good home. Some simple training by a professional may solve the problem.

How long have you had Chester? Are the other dogs getting used to him? Or did the problem just start?

You should never ever sell an animal in a garage sale or give it away free via paper.... the wrong type of people look for these animals.

I guess I just don't understand.... how many homes has Chester been at!? When and how did you get him?

I dunno im confused!!!!!!!im lost all i know is that we have to get rid of CHester there is nothing i can do really they are my parents and i have to let them do and i some what understand them because money is tight here and we cant afford to keep all the animals if i had my way i would have my whole house cwarling with critters and we had many aniamls before but money is tight and we have to get rid of some so they will be safer because chester had gotten out one day with out golden retriver and where gone 4 3 days an our yard isnt fenced yet because we are remodling our house and we have to keep some money aside for our house...we have wire but we dont have enough post so we cant put up our fence and out dogs cant be let free because we live out in the country where people out here shoot dogs that come on there land because of all the killing of cattle.....so its not safe 4 the explores here(chester)........please under stand its hard and i only understant a little...thanks thuogh yall have all been very helpful i am tring to get my mom convienced to let chester go to one of the Rescure shelters a no kill one.........please help!!!! thanks every one

I'm sorry to say this Kayla, but, it sounds like you need to take a serious look at whether you should have ANY pet at this point. Owning a pet is a HUGE responsibility and it doesn't sound like your mother is willing to take that on and you need to accept that. What you need to do is talk with your mother and get these guys to no kill shelters or rescue groups and not have any pets in your house for awhile until the entire family is ready and willing to take on the responsiblity.

okkkkkkkk.......sit back and relax because here is the story of how much of Chesters life i know about.....


1. His origanl owners gave him to my aunt and Uncle......well then they probally didnt have him for about a month(like all the other animals they have had)so they gave him to my aunt and uncle that live not to long from us...well my aunt kim said he barked to much wich he hardly ever does here.......so they gave him to us......(i dunno how long aunt kim had him though)well we have had him for 2 yrs this year..he bacame part of the family quick....and every one that has seen him so far he has stole there hearts......

2.all of the dogs get along with him....but he is a fighter to

male dogs and dosent know that big big dogs can easily hurt him.

Kayla,
I have contacted someone else about getting the name of another Schnauzer Rescue group in Texas. Can I assume that you are near to Dallas?
I know you are having to do what your parents say, but it is frightening that your mom doesn't want to listen. I'll post the name here if I get it. I hope you will consider rescue groups for any dogs you need to get rid of, ones you can trust to safely place your pets.
Please understand that we are all here because we care about the animals, and when we hear something like this it is upsetting. I gather that you are quite young and aren't able to make the decisions for your family, but with our help, you can teach them a better way to handle things, perhaps.
Best of luck and I'll post more information if I get it.

Hey,
i talked to my mom and she said that if there was a no kill shelter around here she would be more than happy to take him to 1 that the employes there or volentiers interacted with the dogs but there is no shelter around here like that....and here is the big reason why we have to get rid of chester hes not happy here.....its because he is a nervous dog when he gets crowded.....so we are going to call the people that breed the schnouzers wich is where Chester came from.....because they might know people that want a schounzer........we also know of an older lady that her dog just died because she took the dog to the vet to get some of his teeth pulled and there was an infection that the vet could not get to so the dog died ......so we might check them out and take a trip to there house to make shure chester likes it......well thanks again for everybodys help!!!!yall have a been a BIG HELP!! im so glad that i found pet talk.....

Kayla, I can tell that you care. Perhaps if you and your mom would email any of the people I have listed, you might find that they can help you with transportation also. If I get any more leads, I'm going to keep on listing them. OK?

Rescue places are trained by educated staff to place a dog in the right home and also do very strict home checks.

Don't sell your dog to anyone without a home check and checking with their vet ect.
This dosen't make sense that you now have another dog to rehome ..............did your parents do any research on the breed of dogs you have before you got them?
Pleace contact a rescue group to help you with placement of your dogs.

Kayla, We realize that you love your pets and hate to part with them And yes, you have to obey your parents wishes. Pets are expensive and sometimes things change in a household.
Just know that we want to help you and your dogs find a good solution.
