keep or not to keep

Is there anyone that would like to adopt a male neutered OES? He weighted 54 pounds at 6 months. We have another dog (lab/sheperd) that he plays with and 2 toddlers. He plays with the lab/sheperd and lets the kids hug him. He seems to follow us everywhere and sometime gets in the way. He likes to go for walks and car rides. He is getting large very fast. He will be 8 months in 9/7/02. We've thought about giving him up since day one, but couldn't say "no". I'm concerned about finding him a good PERMENANT home and yet am still not sure about giving him up for lots of reasons. Is there a good PERMENANT home with ABUNDANT LOVE for him? This may probably help us decide to give him up or not.

Hi Anonymous,

There are many, MANY homes looking for sheepdogs, especially very young dogs like yours.

Are you in the United States? If so, what state are you in?
I can probably direct you to a rescue-rehoming volunteer in your area.
They should be able to help, and answer all of your questions.

About 6 months before we adopted our dog, my wife and I had contacted a rescue organization looking to adopt a sheepdog. I had ALWAYS wanted a sheepdog. Since we both worked full time, we needed a dog that was already house trained. I wanted a BIG dog.

I adopted my dog 10 years ago. The original owner had passed away, and his wife could no longer care for their Sheepdog. They called the same rescue organization, and the organization evaluated the dog.

They saw what type of dog he was, and that he matched up with what our desires were... a match made in heaven! :!: "Jake" was almost 3 when we adopted him, now he is almost 13.

Please feel free to drop me an email to Ron@oes.org.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do (or not to do).

To Keep Or Not To Keep:
Do you still have the OES that you were considering giving away? Our family is very interested in getting one. If you are still interested, could you let us know what state you are in? Also, give us some information about him. We have 3 children and would like to know if he would do well with them.
Thanks

I see that your OES post was back in August, would that make your dog just over a year now? We would be very interested in hearing more about your dog, we have a loving home and are looking to rescue another OES. Please contact us via private email. pviewsd@aol.com
