Hi Dr Chan,I am writing to request for help of rehoming a pet that we love a lot.
You probably ask if we love the pet a lot, why then do we need to
rehome.It all started with a robbery by the infamous Indian Myvi Parang gang
that happened to my family and I right at the gate of our house at
Taman SEA on Aug 12.After the incident, we take a good hard look at the statistics of the
area, a student was slashed in front of our house 2-3 yrs ago. There
was a carjack less then 2 yrs ago. There was 4 cases of robbery by
this myvi parang gang over 3 weeks b4 raya over 7 housing streets.
Situation is not getting safer and we can’t effectively make it a
gated area because it has too many opening and the community is not
united. So, for our own safety, we have to make the difficult choice
of moving to highrise.But we have a pet, a rottweiller, who is now 9+ years old, male, not
spayed, that we love but we can’t keep in high rise. We have tried
very hard to house him with us. My hubby and nephew even created a
grass patch at the back for him to pee and poop. But he can’t. He was
miserable in that 50-60 hours. He didn’t poop at all for 50ish hrs.
Only peed 4x.This is the picture of him.

only be temporary solution as that is a bachelor house, all of them
work full time. They leave home at 7+ in the morning and only back
about 8-9pm. He is very use to having people companion at home. He was
kept inside the house and therefore very attached. Now, he is lonely,
“cries” and knocks on the back door a lot to get attention even though
there is no one home. We are worried that neighbour may not like it. I
am looking for a suitable adopter, someone who understand dog’s
language, can “talk” to him, love him, have companion and to live
happy till he departs.I would like to seek your help through your network to rehome him. Is
that possible?Thanks & regards,
Joanne

I think the pet dog is ‘house-trained’because he refused to pee/poo inside the apartment but I wonder whether the problem could be resolved by just walking the dog outside the apartment at least once daily.
My own two adopted dogs also refused to pee and poo inside the house compound and would only do so outside on grass. So, they would actually hold their pee/poo until I return from work and take them out although I never taught them to do so and gave them ample water to drink and space to do their business.
In addition, the owner could try getting expert help on how to retrain the pet dog to pee/poo at a designated spot in the apartment such as the toilet.
I hope someone can really adopt him. Read somewhere that Rottweiler is quite a playful dog which loves small children. They won’t attack people unless provoked and they guard their territory/house with all they have. They love to exercise and thus an ample space is recommended for them to run around.
Joanne is a friend and a real animal lover. She truly loves this boy, so hopefully someone who reads this can help to share/adopt him. Joanne can try Koo’s suggestions as well, although if the apartment does not allow dogs, it would be hard to bring him out for walks.
Hi! has your dog found a home? Is he trained as a guard dog? we have 2 dogs, both rescued, one very old and the other quite traumatised but we love them as our pets. Now looking for a guard dog for our house.Cannot see his size.
