Buy One Dog, Get 2 free :)
Ok this is not some ad that should be posted in the Classified section, as some of u might know my Dads retired and will be leaving the country shortly, my biggest problem right now is what to do with my 3 babies?? I want someone to take them for free all 3 if u have a place big enough or just one, but they have to go as we have them in the old company accomodation and where i'm living now dogs are not allowed.
I did contact Qatarpets but till now i havent heard from them yet, and Xena told me they are only accepting old sicky dogs :( well anyways here's a little detail about my dogs:
The Brown dog's name is Rex(Pic Mr. Brown) but i dont think he knows his name till now coz he comes when u call him by any name and he will eat an elephant if he has to he's just hungry all the time :)
The old fella the skinny black and white one (pic Mr. Jack) is a mix of a jackrussel and some unknown breed he's called Beethoven and loves to howl when the call for prayer comes on sometimes i think my dog is muslim coz he prays along with them :)
The other black and white one with bushy fur (Pic Mr. Black) is Wolf i dont know why my dad named him WOLF he's scared for his life half the time he will just sit in one corner till its time to feed him, but he has one hell of a bark :)
all three dogs are harmless and are only fit to be kept in a showcase, they only know one trick "playing dead" when i tried to teach them something. They will only bite u if you bite them first!
so please anyone who knows where i can keep my dogs or if your willing to adopt one let me know
Err excuse me Xena first of all i did send the mail on the 18th of March 2008 giving full details of my dogs PLUS recent photographs as request along with MY CONTACT details and i haven't got a reply from them or anyone else for that matter. Secondly i'm not seeing QAWS as my personal dumping place for my dogs, heck if i wanted i can just take them to some place far away and just leave them there i wouldn't bother with all this.
The way QAWS is a rescue organization the same way WE RESCUED these animals when they were abandoned by their owners or were just left out on the streets with no food or shelter. Also incase u didn't notice we are not in our OWN country and we cant say when we will have to leave or some other situation comes up thats not in our hands, does that mean we should stop having pets or trying to help the animals that do need our help? QAWS is a whole organization we are just individuals here trying to help these animals so dont you compare the two.
Also another thing "take responsibility" i am taking my responsibility and trying to find a decent home for them, since i never got a reply back from QAWS i guess u guys aint willing to help out so i posted it here incase someone IS looking out for a pet or knows of anyone that wants to take my dogs. I think I have made myself very clear from the beginning as to why I want to part from my doggies heck if I had it my way I would still keep them but I FREAKING CANT!
The way your talking is that we shouldn’t have pets if we cant take care of them, excuse me but we have been taking care of these dogs for the past 11 years here in Qatar for your kind information. We just didn’t pick them up off the streets a month back or something that we have no attachment to the dogs what so ever. Please keep ur comments to urself and don’t piss off the wrong people with what YOU THINK.
Your words may be harsh and the shoe might fit, but put yourself in someone else's shoes before u start to run with your words. Oh I almost forgot I think I never ASKED QAWS to take my dogs did i? here's my original mail to you asking u for information as to what I should do with them
"hey Xena need to ask you something regarding my 3 doggies. I'm in a big fix here i dont want to give them away to just about anyone. but i need to :( i have 2 young dogs and one thats really ancient! they arnt any special breed we took them off the street and they are harmless. the old one is a jackrussel mix and he's weird so he needs special attention. We have to leave the place where we are living in now and i'm shifting to another room while my folks are going back home. So please any advice or help u can give me i'll be greatful. thanks :)"

O ok...the three C's...well for me its going to be the last today of the C - ricket...
Well for one, if my home team doesnt win then its good bye to the IPL...lol
This is becoming such a menace I tell ya...
The team that I support (even till date whichever team I've supported) hasnt won, the IPL is ruining my evenings, and neither am I able to get away from the TV, so you see IPL is sure a disaster for me...lol...
I can request the company to spare me some time till mid of May till i work something out for them.

abey my hindi understanding skills and talking are perfectly ok..its just that u dont understand my hindi in my very seductive Goan accent :) anyways back to the thread again taking these dogs to India is not the answer to my problems right now...from a financial point of view.
_[]~SMoKE~[]_

LIVE and LET LIVE
Hi....smoke..
Just as kasrat said.. You could send them back to India with your parents..
if they give any ad in any newspapper there.. Iam damn sure in a day these dogs will be adopted..by some genuine people.
Bade bade Khwaab,
See Dreams but to an extent that you think that they can be or might get fulfilled, but a dream like this...i have to say, hmmmm...utho utho Child neendh zara zyaada hua...and by the way that smokey boy doesnt know Hindi...trust me when he starts speaking, we will forget ours...loool....
koi bada dil wala chahiye hame...ive seen so many QP ppl and also at wakrah,ppl with large compounds lying wasted,uncared for...but try getting them giving up a bit of space for this.....unless they can get their pic in the paper for getting an award for tht deed, all turn a deaf ear and blind eye to problems like this...isnt there any one sheikh out there who can sponsor just one of their seemingly humungous # of properties ?Or we can get together and rent a large villa for next to nothing....(in a dream world)where these pampered souls can loll.
LIVE and LET LIVE
oh that too nice... waggling cat really loves his dogs...
wish all the cats & dogs are like that.. (not fighting!) lol!
"Even if LOVE is full of thorns, embrace it. For in between those thorns there is a ROSE that's worth all the PAIN."
the fact also stands that there are enough stray dogs in India it makes no sense spending the money from here to take them to india and put them in a shelter either :) Anyways one thing is for sure is that i will not just abandon the dogs i'll do something about them by hook or by crook coz there's still time for me to work something out.
_[]~SMoKE~[]_
Well the question is there my friend, do you have enough shelters here that you can keep them in here...is the question that you need to answer...
Nope, there's not...so what do you do...
the place i've moved into now cant keep dogs there as there are other kids and they are a total NO NO to pets, the dogs i have right now are in a big enough compound where they can run around but thts the company accomodation and we wont be having that for long.
Ksarat back home we live in a Flat too so cant keep 3 dogs there..and what ur suggesting is so outta the question to take my 3 dogs from here and put them in a shelter there...i mean come on whats the freaking point my friend i can do the same thing here instead right?
_[]~SMoKE~[]_
Well Child, doesnt work that way, unforunately being in Doha, is a bit tough for these pets...cant leave them or find a fence...you see...
Mine is a small one so its ok that bugger runs in and around the house...
Sometimes it might be tough to accept the truth that these buggers form so much of our life that we adapt to their needs rather they to ours...LOL...indeed SUCH AS LIFE...
I like ur dogs but i cant adopt them since i dont have enough space in my accomodation....
Hope someone will able to help u smoke & adopt those dogs.
"Even if LOVE is full of thorns, embrace it. For in between those thorns there is a ROSE that's worth all the PAIN."
my situation is somewhat the same as yours,i rescued 2 dogs a year back from kids ,called QAWS.and was refused...so we kept them,...unfortunately for us,our landlord sold off the villa we were in and we had to move to a tiny apartment(need i say it...less than half the previous area for double the rent)...now,our living room is given over to the dogs,and everyday is a stuggle,just to walk them around and not offend the cultural sensibilities of ppl ...added to which these two nincompoops hate kids now with a vengeance and leap and bark at full throttle at all the PPL who..wd u believe it....bark at them !! I too am at the end of my rope..i think this everyday and just dont know what to do with them...lets get someone to sponsor some space and I hv all the time to run a shelter...we can kennel holiday pets and the street dogs...on a more serious note, hv u tried posting them on facebook..BTW..where do u take yr dogs for a run.. our cant be trusted off the leash,so I need a place where they wd be safely fenced in and can run arnd freely for a bit and let off steam...i wish i cd help u..cant u take the dogs with u,though?
Just as a suggestion, what are the probabilities of sending those buggers back off to India on a flight with your parents and then if your parents can, they will look after them or else, there are good Kennels in India to adopt these, you know India is a big big place...what do you think...have you thought about it...
I'm telling this, cos my dog travels every damn time that my mom travels on the same flight at the same time...
If there was a Frequent Flyer Programme for animals, then I'm pretty sure that my dog would have got quite a few Free Tickets by now...LOL...
So what do you say...>
I understand that, and stop showing a frightening picture for yourself and for all those others who have pets...its a tough time for sure...but lets wait and see what happens alright...dont worry...buddy...
Man i cant remember a time i have never been around dogs heck i'm just asking for someone who has a place for them u dont even have to feed them i'll come feed them every day but i need to know they are in a good place, safe and not wandering the streets or getting stoned by some kids or the fear of some car running over them.

Well yes DaRude, I did see that, someone is actually
Smoooooookkkkkkkkiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn Today...
Hey buddy, understandable and I think an absolutely fitting reply...
Why do people start thinking that when they start doing something noble for a good cause, they are doing the mankind a big big favour...and everyone else is pretty much irresponsible...
I think if we could have taken care of a dog for 11 yrs, then the attachment would have been more to take care of it till it dies rather than giving it away and we dieing in a qquestion mark everyday whether th dog is getting treated, fed, taken care off properly or not..that is a KILLER for us not for the Dogs..., I'm sure Smokey has had enough tears in his mind even thinking of the fact that he has to part way with the Dogs...
And Xena, a reply to his post in here like that, was unwarranted...you are taking care of the dogs, running QAWS, fantastic, fabulous, you are a good woman doing something good for a cause...but that doesnt mean you run your mouth like that...Now this time I might be harsh, but seriously being a dog owner and a dog lover, I think I totally can understand how it feels to part ways with a pet that you have been with for the past 11 yrs...
Smokey, cant imagine myself in your shoes, mate, we had a situation when our dog was back in India last year around May, my mom takes care of the dog and she was down here in Qatar...just about 72 hours after she left our dog back home in india and came here( her trip was for just 2 weeks - thats why she didnt bring the dog), we got the news that our dog had run away from the house and it was lost, you should have seen the position in my house mate, o geeeeex, I didnt say anything inspite of feeling terrible...my mom literally took the next flight out of Doha back to Hyderabad, and searched the entire area for about 2 days after which we found that idiot...lol...geeez. trust me when i say this, it was party time in our house...
Damn these pets, so adorable...
So sorry Smokie, can understand how you feel, but cant help ya mate...
Cheers...
hmm early in the morning i get to read something that pisses me off...guess i do need a smoke :)

The best we can do about your dogs, is if you send pictures of them individually to the website along with a write up on each and we can put them there for rehoming... unfortunately we are full at the shelter and honestly our focus is on ill, maimed and pupppies that are dumped... as we cannot afford to take on all the babies we see....
Email qatarpetz[AT]gmail.com and she will put them on the site...
hope this helps and I hope you come right soon...;-)
Snowyowl, you should know better than to make a statement like "What Xena said isn't quite true.." when you know its exactly true, and you didn't bother to find out what else I had said. We are full. You know that.
That being said Smoke, please send pictures and a write up on your dogs and YOUR contact details to the www.qatarpets.org website, so that they can be placed on the adoption list. This way people can contact you if they want the dogs. I think I told you this also.
People, please don't see QAWS/Qatarpets as your personal animal dump site when you decide you can no longer take care of them. You need to start taking responsiblity for your decisions to have that animal in the first place.
Quite frankly, I get so angry with people who have pets, and then make it someone elses responsiblity to take the animals when they decide to leave. We are an animal rescue, not a charity organisation for people that want to dump their dogs cause they no longer have place for them, or are leaving the country.
Harsh maybe, but if the shoe fits.....
"if you don't like the heat... get out of the kitchen... but stop trying to fan the flames before you leave... it will burn you on the a** as you go through the doorway...." ME
visit www.qatarpets.org
Well i dont have many friends in many places so here i am asking if anyone knows anyone who wants my precious doggies :)
Looks like you are quite ready for their departure and again, whats this news, find you a girl, hmmmm, where did you say you come from...
And whats these trials that you keep doing on QL man...
And about the dogs, sorry mate, cant be of any help, i already have one cute nuisance in ma house...cant do with another...lol
Yo! people me back. Khanan bhai they are saying i cant sponsor him if he's over 60 yrs of age so its time for him to pack up and go find me a girl to marry now :)
What makes you think its a joke...well yes the way it is written is a joke, but do you really think the reason is a joke....ch ch ch ... wake up man...wake up...
is this a joke?
away from the thread...
wat happened with regard to ur father sponsorship?? the authority didnt allow to transfer it to you........as i might be facing the same situation next year...
hope things become better with this new sponsorship laws???
Aww they're cute!! Love the attitude look on Mr Black!
What Xena said isn't quite true..if you check out their webite you'll see they are overflowing! QAWS (qatarpets) don't have the time nor space to help with rehoming at the moment.
Have you tried putting ads up in communioty boards or asking friends in large orgs like QP and QF to circulate them on their internal mail??
Hope you get a home for em soon and will miss meetin you and having a cigie with ya tonight at coffee
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
