Hi I am posting this on behalf of a friend who is looking for a dog. She is looking for a small dog, no bigger than a bichon frise size. It has to be an older dog, at least 2 years old. Grooming requirements are unimportant as I am a dog groomer and will be round there all the time! Hehe! The dog should ideally get on with other dogs and be pretty much house trained! A lot to ask but if you know of anyone in the South East Essex area looking to rehome a dog that fits this description my friend can offer this dog a kind, loving home!

What about contacting  south east essex trust?

Try show breeders of smaller dogs, who may have kept one on for a while and decided that they are not suitable to be shown or bred from as maybe to small.

Or you could try the different breed rescues?
