KOOLMUM:Hi allI have a dog, shizu breed, 11 y.o. to be given away. He is very affectionate, faithful & likeable. We cannot keep him as need to look after an elderly parent. Whoever is interested to keep my dog, please contact me via whatsapp, I can show pic of dog, my no is 90621978.RegardsKoolmum :lovesite:Hi KOOLMUM,The average lifespan of a dog is between 10-12 years old (depending on the breed and daily care of the pet; some even live up to 13-14 years). I am a dog owner myself and I just feel it is only right that since we want to keep a pet, we should see it to its ripe old age. Sending it away to a new owner and environment might just break his heart. Hope I do not offend you. Just sharing my thoughts here and hope you will re-consider your decision. Peace ! :xedfingers:
