Suki, Waldo, Jeremy, and I are willing to take in any pup in need or help find them a good home if we can't afford to keep them.

I'm willing to help...if anyone needs it. I have designated that part of my insurance goes to my animals and designated who gets them also you can set up a trust fund specifically for them.

The only one I am worried about is Noid, he is a special needs kid what with the strict diet and his skin care that needs to be addressed constantly and then he is a mama suck big time and stresses if he can't see me or know where I am!
Noid though would need someone pretty special

Don't know if I'm 'special', but I'd take Noid in a heartbeat. He could fit in here fairly easily, I think. I just don't know how I'd get him here!!

I would definately let you have Noid, I think you would be a great Dogmom to my little Noid the freak-a-zoid Very Happy

He would be in heaven in a home with girls!

I know that if anything ever happened to me and Brian couldn't keep Noid because of travelling or whatever he would drive Noid to you, I know that!

I would also like to say that I'd help out anyone here if "anything should ever happen". As I"m a single girl with not a lot of money, I can't say that it would be a forever home but I would definately foster and help to rehome, with final approval of "hoped for forever home" coming from our members. If my single and lovin' it status ever changes, I will be able to do more.

hard topic! I know that if nothing else Martine would take Freeze back... it would just be getting him there. hubby isn't "into" the dogs like I am, and although he tries, it is for me! My mom loves my dogs, but has a lot on her plate right now. and she prefers the boys. So Rain would be my biggest worry, although now that I have had to think about it, one or two people come to mind as possibilties.

I would be happy to help anyone in need of it. we are a little strapped right now, but hopeful things will turn around, and as I am already feeding 3 now, what is one or a few more? Very Happy

I have to say, this is such a great forum and a great topic actually. I don't get too emotional about stuff like this because I tend to be pretty logical and down to earth...(go figure, I am a capricorn! LOL)
I do have my significant other/fiance who would keep and take care of all our dogs, but in the event something happened to both of us, most of our dogs are already spoken for. (that's a good thing!)
My friend Jamie already has dibs on Mr. Voodoo. He's been trying to steal him since the day I got Voo. Wink

But I agree it doesn't hurt to have a back-up. Smile

Anyway, that said...my worry would be Aurora. For one thing, she's totally deaf. She's have to go with someone who would be willing to learn ASL and all her hand signals. Also, she has very specific needs as far as how to "talk" to her and tell her what you want from her. As a deaf dog, she used to have BAD separation anxiety and would scream louder than you could imagine. I taught her not to do that, but I have to remember to TELL her (by hand signal) when I'm leaving the house to be quiet, wait, and I'll be back.
how's that for high maintenance? Laughing

It's not hard to do, but I've found that I can't RUSH out of the house and not tell her those things or else she WILL scream.
-the other thing is that she's a therapy dog and I would want someone who'd be willing to keep up her "job" with her. That would be a requirement...they'd just have to get cert'd. as a handler (she's already cert'd) thru Therapy Dogs Incorporated. The nice thing is that she's so good at it, she'd be a cinch to handle. Smile

She'd be leading the handler!

I'll leave you all to fight over Miss Aurora Dior should anything happen to my man & me... and to be a back up for Voodoo should I need one! Laughing

Everyone here is so wonderful, I'd trust any of you with my babies!!! Flower

Wish I could offer to help someone else, but alas, until I get a bigger place, I have a full house! But if we move somewhere with more room, I'd be happy to help out too.

I would take Aurora in a second! In fact I would take any of your dogs.My husband would take ours if anything happened to me but if we both went at the same time I wouldn't hesitate to have one of you take them. They could be separated. Batman would love to be an only dog again or at least to be away from Feather. Feather would be heartbrokrn without Batman for about 30 seconds as long as she could go to someplace with other dogs. She loves everyone and every dog she meets. Tough subject but good point that we have to do something in advance.

I would take Noid in a second too. I would take in anyone's baby and give him/her a special home in a blink of an eye. We have the space and since I've fallen in love with everyone's babies here, It would be a special pleasure to give a home to someone from the forum.
I'm hoping my family would take Dargo and Lola if something were to happen to us, but my father is getting older, and my sis seems to be getting Younger (meaning a very busy social life) so I do worry at times. It would be nice to know they have a godmother/father to care for them if something should happen.
Chyna, you know I have first dibs on your gang.
This topic is a fantastic one to have. Shell.

Oh I really do NOT know how I missed this thread......but it is wonderful what a family all the Crush members really are here. I have actually laid awake a night or two worrying about this exact thing! My sweet Lola would be fine with any "quality, understanding the CC needs home" She is just a sweet amazingly well behaved dog (she is borderline saint I tell ya!) not one thing that could be considered an issue. My precious Clyde is the lover.....needing to be touching you and on you 24/7 and very very sensitive.......he needs such a gentle loving hand at all times..and due to his early life he can be a bit neurotic at times Smile

but again a understanding CC experienced home would be fine for him but what keeps me awake is my heart....Vino. I can't imagine going before him because he needs his mommy Crying or Very sad

I love my husband, parents and daughters more than life but none of them are the same kind of "dog parent" that I am...they all love the babies and care for them fine under my instruction but I don't believe they get it the way I do, bless their hearts. My parents even say that I am so over the top their only wish is to come back after they die as my dogs! What a life! My Vino is so very special and unique in his personality (I am really the only one who "gets" him) and not to mention his special needs as far as his severe dry eye and the possibility that he could one day lose the the one eye he has left. I am soo diligent and careful with his condition and I know firsthand how demanding it is and how much it ties you down and dictates your world in a sense yet to me it is nothing but I think about putting that kind of burden on someone else.....and Vino and Clyde are VERY attached as brothers (Lola really just tolerates the both of them Smile

) and to separate the two of them would break my heart.......it is so sad to think about but something you know could be a reality for any of us.......this thread is such a good thing...great advice with the will and the monetary designations......I just want to say that the Crush members are the top of my list for who I would like to see my beloved babies with, if god forbid, anything ever happened.....you are the people I know who also "get" our CC children the way I do Smile

And on that note, I would be honored and more than willing to take anyone's baby/babies should the need arise and would promise to provide then the best forever home I could.

We are only allowed 2 dogs right now and hopefully the second will be joining us soon. We arn't able to keep someones dog but we would be very willing to help (transport, stay for a few nights). My husband would keep Socrates should anything happen. Socrates really does need lots of love, he has seperation anxiety and is a sensitive little guy. If anything happens to me and anyone is mean to my baby I will be haunting them.

I would help anyone's crestie in need in a second. There are times that I wonder what would happen to Atticus if anything happened to me. I know my dad wouldn't keep him permanently because he's said before he doesn't want any more pets. I don't know about my mom because she lives so far away, transporting him to South Dakota from Pennsylvania could be difficult...the only option left would be my boyfriend. I know he loves Atticus as much as I do, but as far as caring for Atti the way he's accustomed to (grooming, the "good" food and treats, etc.) I just dunno if he'd give him the same level of care. He doesn't have any special issues, I'd just prefer he goes to someone with at least some crestie experience.

I guess if my family couldn't take Atti he'd be here for everyone to fight over. Wink

I'm so glad this section exists!

I would be happy to take on a furbaby that does not mind kids and traveling around other than that I will happily foster and find the best home under the direction of my crew here on CCC Wink

If anything should happen to me and if my hubby couldn't do it with the kids AND dogs so I know that Kristin would take back Julius (escada his breeder) and my hubby would deliver him to her but Haley is who I have no plans for

Anyone would like to vouch for the perfect Shih Tzu Princess???

Now this is IF hubby can't cope although he loves the dogs but you just never know Confused

Haley can come live with me-remember my first fur kid was a Shih Tzu. I too worry about my Lily. I am an only child, of two only children and my mom is dead. My dad is very ill-heart and diabetes, so I really struggle with what will happen to the Lily Monster. We have friends who are dog people and I know Karen would care for her as her own, but she has no experience with CCs. I have already made provisions in my will about her and my estate, but all the money in the world is no sub for LOVE.

My dad is really cute-

I asked him once what he would do with my pets if something happened to me... he said

"I would take them of course" I said even my Cats?? he said

"I would take everyone, I would adopt out any fosters you had left, and I would keep Mr.P and Paige forever"

My dad has always been a "I'm to manly to like cats" kind of guy, and for him to not even hesitate to say that he would take care of and love my kitty forever, makes me well up.

but of course in the event that something happens to both of us (god forbid!!) I am sure other foster parents would take on my fosters, I think my best friend would take Mr. P, and but... I am not sure who Paige would go with.... her breeder I am sure would take her back, but I would obviously like to see her go directly into a forever home..

this is an interesting thread, I am going to have to ask around and see which one of my friends would commit to my baby girl!

I would take Paige for you. Paige and Prissy (both P's) LOL I would love to help out anyone else on the forum as well. Not much in the money department right now, but would be willing to help be a forever home or foster until the perfect home can be found!

I have seen this thread for the longest time, but could not enter it until now. This has been an issue that I sometimes lay awake at night with - tormenting myself with the question of what would happen to our babies if something should happen to orangecrush and me.

This literally is something that scares me...beyond explanation. We have no children, no reliable family members, and my parents are in their retirement years - they should be free to be able to come and go as they wish after having raised four rotten children themselves. We do not have many friends and those that are, are not dog lovers.

I have a strong feeling that dbev would do anything to take my Tre' in, should the need arise. ?? Wink

She has been threatening to lurk in my garden and steal him! Laughing

The others....Cesar is a happy go lucky little monstermonkey. He likes to act tough but at heart he is a major wimp and momma's boy. Zephyr is an elder Grand Dame, blind and very much my velcro baby. She'd need someone who could take her in and literally assume velcro status. (Sheesh, now the tears are coming!) Sybil is a very very soft girl - soft in temperment, sensitive, and would need someone who could understand her issues and embrace her quirks. 39design and her seemed to hit it off really well. Wink

Riley - he is a gentle soul who has some mental issues from a tormented past. He just needs to know that he is safe and loved. He'd like nothing more than a soft mushy bed right next to your chair so he could look up from time to time and know that all is right in the world.

I will be leaving written instructions for whomever to contact Crush should death occur to the both of us at the same time. It is a necessary subject, and I'm thankful this was put here.

And, it goes without saying that orangecrush and I would do anything to help any of yours the same.

Peace and light, Patti

I'd be more than happy to help in any way I can if need be. I could take Ms. Aurora if needed, I do have a working therapy dog through TDI, Brownie and I go to the hospital every week and love it.

if something happened to me 2day (touch wood) my mam would take my dogs. i am 100% sure she would keep them both until the end, but if i knew i was ill an there was no chance i was goin to make it i would probably set up a new home for my crestie an make sure it worked out beforehand but if it didn't work out then i know he always had a home with my mam! although i dont think it would be fair for me to keep another dog permanently as i live in a two bedroom groudn floor flat but i do live on my own with help from my mam lookin after my dogs when i workin an it is bigger than u would think an has a large garden an a big field next door so i could adopt until another home was found, or although i dont drive yet (though hopefully very soon) i could get a friend to take me to help travel a dog to a new home!
