    We are in a desperate situation with our two adorable choc lab sisters of 14 months and i am reaching out to see if we can personally find a new, loving home of them, due to their history we desperately want to keep them together as they have had the roughest of starts in life and we now find ourselves in a situation at home where we just cannot provide the time, love and attention they so richly deserve.

    I spent a long time telling people on here about Beaux and Bella's tragic story back in Nov/Dec 2013 as I was desperate for advice on their condition and i found so many lovely, supportive people offering kind words as we embarked upon a gruelling 6 month journey of surgeries to all four legs due to severe elbow and hip dysplasia in both dogs. the dogs start in life has been exceptionally tough as from the age of 6 months they had to undergo a series surgeries to fix their elbows and hips. it was a truly horrendous time for them and also for us as a family as caring for 2 young pups 24 hrs a day was intense, heart breaking and exhausting esp whilst trying to look after a toddler and run our own businesses, my husband even slept on the sofa with them for 3 months so they didn't howl all night post surgery.

    Beaux and Bella are now fully recovered and enjoying their time off the lead :), they are the most adorable, loving and gentile dogs we've ever met and we have broken our hearts agonising over how we can manage them since i unexpectedly fell pregnant in January. had we known I could fall pregnant we would obv never have go the pups but this was an enormous surprise/shock! We also have a 3 yr old boy and I am now 7 months pregnant and due to severe immobility issues i now have i am no longer able to care for the girls or walk them. The reality of 2 young, boisterous pups in a home with a 3 yr old and a newborn with me unable to walk is not a good one for anyone and however committed we are to these beautiful dogs we are just not coping and the baby is not here yet! i am due in Oct and will need a c section operation so again we ideally need to find a home for the girls before that, we will not put them into kennels and have lined up a home to care for them for 6 weeks whilst i recover as an interim measure.

    I am therefore reaching out to personal friends and people on here to see if you may know of anyone or could yourself give these beautiful girls a long term home, we have met with a lab charity but they wanted to re-ome anonymously and i am not comfortable not meeting the new owners or knowing what happens to the girls long term, I owe it to them to ensure they are safe and will not be re homed again and want to ensure we meet potential new owners.

    Do you know of anyone, or can you advise us of where to go for help? We are desperate to find the right family of these girls, they are so special - this has nothing to do with their behaviour they are loving, gentle, obedient dogs we just literally cannot cope with our working lives and young children as well as keep 2 pups this age happy and energised.

    i am happy to provide pictures and a full history medically, we have been told by 'Supervet' Noel Fitzpatrick that their legs are most likely better than most labs now, however we do need to warn people that Beaux may need an elbow replacement on one leg, however, this may never need to happen and we would be happy to contribute 50% toward that if it should happen in the future.

    Happy to send piccies of them - they are truly beautiful!!!!

    THANKYOU TO ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP US!!
