June 2024 – We have recently become aware of a 7 year old Finnish Spitz bitch called Boo who is looking for a new home. She is a loving friendly bitch who is used to young children and has lived with a cat. If you may be interested in giving Boo a new home, please read the information and links on this page and then contact David Rolfe for more information – email davidjrolfe37@gmail.com, tel 01278 423406.
When a breeder sells a Finnish Spitz puppy to a new owner, everyone hopes that this will be for the life of the dog – and in most cases it will be. However, occasionally the owner may become unable to continue looking after the dog. This may be for one of a number of reasons e.g. illness of the owner, significant changes in lifestyle, a move to unsuitable accommodation, or emigration. This page offers advice and contact information for owners who find themselves in such a situation. It also provides advice and contact information to anyone who may be able to offer a permanent new home to a ‘rescue dog’ or may be particularly looking for an older dog rather than a puppy.
If you are an existing owner of a Finnish Spitz and need to re-home the dog:
– first of all contact the breeder (click for contact list) who sold you the dog as they may be able to help
– then, if necessary, contact one or both of the Finnish Spitz breed club rescue contact persons listed below
If you are interested in offering a new home to a ‘rescue’ Finnish Spitz:
– first of all read the information on The Kennel Club website here
– then contact one or both of the Finnish Spitz breed club rescue co-ordinators listed below
