Yes, I was actually going to mention this. New these doggy strollers (prams ) can be expensive. I got one from someone who gave it to me as she didn't need it any longer, and I am saving it for when my elder dog can't go very far at all on walks, if that time comes. It is also very useful for taking your dog someplace like an art fair where dogs are not allowed, but strollers are. I have never had a problem when I have taken my dog in the stroller to a fair or similar event. With the dog not on the ground, no one objects.
Good point haha! I was thinking he'd have to be a good boy with the sling too! I would be put off balance so easily. Luckily I don't use the leash at all (except when passing other dogs or people on sidewalk or in traffic. I just tie him to my waist pack on a bungee leash and talk him through where we are going. We practiced walking side by side since he was a little wee puppy in my back garden, leash or no leash. It was more me walking with him as he sniffed around the fenced back, and playing running/jogging gently back and forth with him in a heal. Then practicing heal in the backyard.I plan to use it to take out a puppy prior to vaccination, as well. One thing, though. Unless your dog is perfectly behaved on a leash you cannot walk a dog and manage the stroller at the same time.
In the US it is Goodwill or Salvation Army or St. Vincent's. Usually the Goodwill is the best in the places I have lived. Most places the Goodwill stores are excellent; you can find all sorts of things in really good shape. Goodwill and the others do various things to help people who need a job or place to live or clothing or things like that. And there's also Savers, which benefits the Big Brothers and Big Sisters organization, and also has high quality things. Here where I live now we also have a Humane Society Thrift Store, where I take all my unwanted things, of course.
Yes, and they have an all-volunteer staff, so all of the money after paying for the space and bills goes to the animals. I have saved stuff up and then driven the hour it takes me to get there, so that I can donate good stuff to them.
