Judith gsd Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have been on Freecycle again, and this time it is not a kitten or cat that I have become involved with, but a lovely young dog. I will know more about him on Wednesday when I meet him and take him for his neutering operation. The reason for rehoming seems to be that the present owner has asthma, thought to be made worse by having the dog. Here is a picture of the little chap, who's Mum is mostly collie, and we don't know who the Dad is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith gsd Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I took this lovely boy with his owner (who he is still living with despite her poorly chest) to be neutered yesterday. He is crossed with a staffie, but his coat feels a little wiry, so there must be some terrier and collie in there too. He is sooooooo friendly, just lay on his back for fuss. He is a strong boy and will require firm but kind handling. He is a cute dog, but has already shown signs for potential weave pole work, as he has been going in and out of the chair legs at home! He has also been up and down the small slide in the garden, so maybe a good agility prospect! He will be going back for a check up at the vets this weekend, and he can go to a new home after that, for gentle walks at first whilst those stitches dissolve. Oscar deserves a new start as potentially he could be a good dog for dog club events. I feel he needs an experienced dog owner as he is strong and a typical pup. His present owner is not well enough to do him justice, but he is a well loved family dog, and although he was on Freecycle they obviously care enough to have listened to advice from me and wait until we find him a good home.

trishandben Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 He looks a lovely boy. I am currently looking for a companion to my 10 week old Springer. I am going back to my house and animal sitting as of next summer, so will need a dog who is well socialised, which would be my concern with a Staffie cross. How old is he?

Hello Sorry not been on the board yesterday. I lost one of my chickens yesterday, she was over 5 years old and it quite upset me. The pup in question is 6 months old, he is very friendly and when we had him in he vets the other day for his neutering operation, he seemed easy in the company of other dogs. He is a strong dog, and needs some basic training. I don't know if you could manage two youngsters though, they will both be lively characters? Do you have children, as the dog in question is quite strong? Having said that I am sure with consistent training, he would probably become an agility dog, as he likes the chair legs and weaves through them, and has been up the children's slide in the garden!

trishandben Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I am in a position to have the time and I enjoy training dogs. At the moment I am looking at a few dogs (the end of this week and early next week) to pick one that is not only right for my life style, as I said I am going back into house and animal sitting, but also one that Kelsey can play with and bond with. At the moment I am without a car but hope to have this sorted this week. I just couldn't help responding because he does look so cute. Where is he being looked after if I would be able to se him next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith gsd Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 We need urgent help with this one please, the lady who owns him has had to be hospitalised recently due to her lungs struggling to cope with the dog! She rang me this morning and she had a job to talk on the 'phone. Any offer of help would be gratefully received. He has now been neutered!

Judith gsd Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hopefully this Friday, I will be collecting this little man to start him on his way to a new life with a lady who has a couple of other dogs for company, an older one and a younger one I am meeting the rescue at the vets for his vaxes to be done before he goes to his new home! Thanks to all who tried to assist me and him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi Judith, Imagine my suprise to See oscar on here. he is currently sat at my feet chewing his way through to bone box .... tis a blessing that im not house proud As far as rehoming is concerned after meeting him and chatting with Kate today I have decided to take a couple of days to decide whether to have him move in or just foster him till he gets a home. He really is a little star and has tried so hard to get my dogs to play ... I walked them all together today and he was perfect off lead (I know its the first day but I had a good feeling about him) he has a staffy look about him and has inherited silly staff and the big smile ... hes a typical mongrel puppy and as my little sod of a yorkie cross has been snapping at him all day and he has just accepted and tried to be friends again. but in the most respectful way I took my older girl to the vets tonight ( 2 hours for blood tests )and left the other 2 with the run of the house ... Oscar just got straight in his bed , and it was still warm when I got back. To be perfectly honest I feel I would be doing Oscar an injustice keeping him as my walks have to be limited because of the older girl and i work 4 on 4 off but long hours on the 4 on ..he could cope with that however the little man would probably be happier with another pup for company and an owner that does maybe agility/training in their spare time, he really is a little darling and had a fantastic play with Kates collie in my lounge today. It would be easy to fall in love with him. He is all innocent puppy and smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
