Yes, she is at the house. They are coming each day to feed her wash her eye and tend to the garden. This is a situation that cannot go on as they are aware and are seeking options for her. It is very time consuming as multiple people are taking large amounts of time to visit her. It isn't how she will live out her life but she is having visits of multiple hours at a time, she isn't just being fed and left. She is an inside dog and they have a roster system going. They just can't convince the elderly man that they actually have lives and can't continue spending their days at his house. Especially as they have their own dogs at home.

Hi everyone, Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions, they have all been passed on. At present the elderly man involved is reluctant for Trixie to go anywhere and wants the family to continue her care at the home. I think he needs some time to accept the situation. At present she is safe, well and at no risk of being placed in the pound. It is causing a lot of stress for the family but I think they need a little time. You have all been most helpful and I shall post again when I know more.

Brilliant. Thanks so much. I am waiting for the family to send me a photo and the other details suggested and then I shall contact the suggested people.

They have never had a cat but she did live with a Maltese some years ago before the Maltese passed away. It sounds like she is a peke x although I will try to get a photo. Can I search for esky on here somewhere? I am new to the forums of dol.

Thank you for your reply. I will contact the family involved and see if they can give me some more info. I will contact the groups suggested and see what they suggest.

Hi guys, First time poster..... I am hoping for some help in Victoria to re-home an elderly Pekingese x dog. Trixie is about 13 years old and the much loved dog of an elderly couple in Melton. She has been doted on her whole life and been the only dog. Her mum passed away at the start of the year and her dad has just been put into permanent care. Trixie is being cared for at the Family home with 2xdaily visits but all the extended family own large or young dogs and no one can give her a home. She is a sweet girl however has lost an eye (attacked by another dog out on a walk) and has limited vision in the other eye. No-one wants to see her pts but really don't know where to turn. She has been an inside dog her whole life. I am hoping someone may be able to suggest someone with some knowledge in this area. Thanks
