2 OESs in East Mesa, AZ

Not sure if it's too late but this ad appeared on Craigslist on May 12th.
I sent them OES rescue contact info but maybe someone here might be interested in helping.

Desperate to find a home for these two dogs. We are being evicted tomorrow out of our rental and have no where to take our family pets. We have no where to go our selves, we are needing someone to take them. One is a 6 year old male Purebred papered Old English Sheep Dog and he is the father of the other one who is a 2 year old papered purebred Old English. Both are severely matted and need shaved. They were outside dogs. They both are great with children, love people and attention and other dogs. Never been around cats. They MUST be taken together. Please respond by e-mail ASAP thank you.

I hate to be the dissenter here - but did you notice they were being evicted and apparently were in denial? they may have other issues on their minds.


for everyone, let's try not to be so judgemental and righteous please! yes there are jerks in the world, but there are as many well meaning people who get in over their heads and need some understanding. Many of them were just like most of us - one pay check or catastrophic illness away from a disaster.
I am sorry for these people being evicted and not able to take their pets.But i disagree about the dogs being badly matted dogs as i am sure you are aware dont matt overnight.Hpoe all goes well for both dogs and owners.

Honestly, with the right conditions, this breed can mat very quickly and if I was losing my home I'm not sure I'd be in a place to be able to keep mine perfectly groomed either.

They need help, or at the very least our empathy. Please. :plead: Fingers crossed for them and their dogs.

I didn't hear back from them :(

I can only wonder if maybe they had to leave and now have no way
of retrieving emails. Hopefully they dropped them off at a humane
society and these OESs will have a chance a finding a new home.

Well I am sure you know there are time sin their lives when they do, and if they don't have a proper coat to begin with it can happen more quickly. BUT I have to say, if there was a crisis in my family of some type - not sure I would be brushing dogs in my spare time.
