She has gone to Tenerife for three weeks and has made little provision for the dog (miniature yorkshire terrier). I have told her dad that this is unacceptable and that I am not happy.He is going to Tenerife today.She is a selfish spoilt cow.My mate says that he will have the dog at his house but I don’t know how to set it up.Please advise as I am struggling to cope with the situation.Should I call the RSPCA?
Masha.
Hi Masha, christ some people here give such bloody stupid answers…( you are jealous..!!! ), you are obviously very concerned for this poor fellow and i would be doing the exact same as you, quickly see if you can catch the dad and ask can you look after the dog,and when they are back really lay it on thick that the dogs needs are totally not being thought of,and does she really love and care for and want this dog..??.
Its great to see a person like myself who does really care for animals….keep up the good work..xx

Offer to walk the dog

I would tell the RSPCA

If there’s anyway of having someone walk the dog 3 times a day and feed him at least once a day there’s no reason to call RSPCA. Having that said, the dog’s owner is, without a doubt, irresponsible. Dogs need not only having their physical needs met, but also require a minimum amount of affection time. I would encourage you to try and see if someone you know or even you could go there and spend the night with the dog, or at least visit him three times a day for walks….
If you can’t make such an arrangement and no one can care for the dog while the family is on vacation, yes, I would involve the RSPCA….

It seems a tad excessive to start with the RSPCA, see if you start by setting up better arrangements with the fellow who is stopping by once a day or with her father. Perhaps you could collect the dog from the daily caretaker and take him to your friend who is willing to take the dog for the remaining time of the owners holiday and when she returns have a serious talk about care of the dog. If nothing works then try the RSPCA. I wish you well with this and see you have lovely intentions.

Do not call in the RSPCA at this point. All they will (perhaps!) do is monitor the situation. They have no powers to remove without the police being there, and in any case, how often have I thought that poor animal has gone from the frying pan into the fire, been yanked from all he knows is familiar to what.
Okay, so she has made SOME provision for the dog to be looked after? Who is this person? How do you know for certain what ‘provision’ has been made for him. It might not be anywhere near as bad as you think!! And it could be it’s worked out fine before this time. This could come under the heading of ‘interfering’. On the other hand if you know of somebody who would be able to take the dog in for 3 weeks (and that’s some commitment, to be honest), can you catch her dad before he leaves for Tenerife, so at least he can give you permission on behalf of his daughter, and let her know what has happened?
There’s no way you can just assume you can walk in and remove this dog or you could find yourself in big trouble.
Whatever you decide to do, be sure of your facts before you act.

We have a neighbour who is my other half’s best friend and she used to take our dog in for any holidays we took (we provided all the food for him). Then she got a dog herself, so that was no longer an option. The only thing left was to put him in kennels. After trying one that turned out not to be very good, we eventually found a really good one that we’re totally happy with.
If you have a pet, you have to accept the financial responsibility for it and put it in kennels to be properly looked after. I wouldn’t DREAM of leaving our dog alone in the house for three weeks, with only one visit per day. What is that girl thinking of?
RSPCA might be an option. Good on you for being concerned.

how about leave them alone and take care of your own problems.

Who is the person doing the once a day visit? I do not know of any agency who would take on the care of a dog with only a daily visit and for three weeks they would insist on placing a dog sitter in the persons home, as it is not acceptable to leave a dog home alone, I would try to speak to the person who is doing the daily visit and see what they have to say, then if possible negotiate something better for the dog, if the irresponsible daughter has left a contact telephone number then you could ring her and negotiate better care
References :
i would ask the dad for a set of keys and ask if you could pop in from time to time to walk the dog then stay(if possible) for the day and see if anyone turns up or if you can’t have the keys maybe stake out the place and see if anyone shows if they don’t then perhaps call an animal shelter and ask their advice you need to know exactly what the provisions are though before contacting anyone hope this helps

You are obviously jealous of her, mind your own business
