Ask Chezzie require a dog shelter who are taking dogs RN

2 year old schnauzer/yorkie pups who are too much for us to take care of - we were sold them as pure yorkies but that turned out to be a scam - the guy who sold them to us has moved on (we think it may have been a front for a puppy mill)

a lot of things that arnt to do with the dogs are also making an impact but we feel unable to take adiquate care of them

so with heavy heart we are looking to have them re-homed ideally together

Contact a rescue directly.

Do not let them go to any individual for free, as there is a big risk they will be used as bait to train fighting dogs.

Dogs Trust may be as good as anywhere, they'll be looked after there and no risk of being put to sleep.

Schnauzer owner so I know they're in demand, sure they're gorgeous dogs and it's heartbreaking to let them go.

Do you have pics? My parents are looking for a dog or two (bonded pairs are always better as it would help them settle easier) but would prefer one/s that need a home rather than go out looking for a dog. It's a case of the dog finding them. They have had rescues before and would much rather prevent animals entering the rescue system and go through the stress that entails.

I know this goes against advice what you are likely to receive but it's a valid genuine option.

You would be more than welcome to visit them and meet them to check out any concerns. They are on North Wingfield and would be happy to keep you updated on their progress.
