T4 did some volunteering with these guys: http://www.cinnamon.org.uk/cinnamon-trust/
Might be worth a shot? There's borrowmydoggy.com too but it's written to appeal to people with the intellect of a plant pot. -
^amazingly cute
Here's my dad's dog Timber looking very pleased with himself. My dad forgot to lock the dog flap the other night so Timber got bored and escaped the garden to go for a stroll through the aisles of the local Tesco. According to the cleaners "he paid particular attention to the deli counter". The council picked him up and advertised on facebook for the owner (he usually has a collar with address tag but he has grown out of it and Dad has a new one on the way, he is also chipped).

@BareNecessities cheers Pete....
An update on Mr Riley....he has had an amazing surgery..I'm a bit dumbstruck. It was a very invasive tumour, but they managed to save his leg :0)
He had the outside two toes removed, plus the dew claw, which were all infected. The vet then used the skin from the toes to form a kind of figure of eight flap to close the wound, which would have remained open, due to the amount of tissue they had to remove. He then took the pads off the amputated toes and constructed new pads for his foot, to give him stability and cushioning so he can walk on it again....incredible, I thought!
He is in a lot of pain, but on the mend :0) -
Get well soon Mr Riley! Sounds like you've got an excellent vet @stedlocks.
@Kat_Balou I love Timber's face in that first photo! Looks so proud of himself.

Indeed - get well soon Mr Riley :)
Big surgery like that is always scary, I remember when our greyhound Milly broke her leg. The break was near the elbow so required an external fixator (Titanium and carbon fibre!). Took a good few months to sort itself out - but you would never know that she had broken it a couple of years on!
Sounds like you have an amazing Vet surgeon btw!

Wishing Mr Riley a speedy recovery, it's amazing what they can do these days!
Thankfully Timber is well known where my dad lives due to my dad making a sled out of a scooter and getting him to pull him along.

Great news! You must be very relieved :-)

Pics of herbie?
Mr Riley update...he is healing up, but has had to stay in for 2 extra days, as the vet wants to watch his wound without a dressing on, which is easier there than at home. We should be getting him Monday.
Our vet, Helen, is South african....she grew up on a reserve, where her dad was the ranger. She is well known for her experimental surgeries, and has won awards for them....particularly one poor frog, who got his leg caught in a pond pump/filter...she managed to save the frog's life, but had to amputate one leg. I know it sounds like a joke with a french pun at the end, but it's true :0)
He is in good hands....Lola misses him though!

Oddly enough, that's one of the few sections of wallpaper that the cats haven't yet destroyed :-/
