Female puppy in South Carolina needs a home
|
|
| I can't find the ad, but you said you answered it... are you going to take the dog in, or contact a rescue about it? |
| Has anyone been able to access the site? What can we do to help? |
| Where is she?? |
No. I can't take her in. It might sound silly, but I sometimes search for oes for sale and call just to see what kinda living conditions they are in, to see if the dog/puppies might need help. And when she told me she was in a pen 24/7 it bothered me. I can't seem to find the add now either. But I have her phone number writen down. I guess you can call and say you saw the add if anyones interested just let me know.  |
| Where is the puppy located at? |
| Where is this puppy girl? |
| She is in Columbis SC. |
| Are you close enough so that you could look at this pup and get back to us? Maybe something could be worked out?? |
Yes, I am going to meet the lady tomorrow 12/26 and give her $400 for the puppy and take my chances of trying to find her a good home and hopfuly get some of my expenses back. She is about 6 to 7 months old snow cap. She is a beauty but needs alot of grooming. She has alot of matts and real dirty. I wiil do my best to get her looking nice and clean. I'm going to take my chances because the lady said she has been trying to sell her for about a month and only one call besides me. I'm worried what will happen to her if I don't go ahead and get her. I know I can't keep her for long though.  |
| Ok I now have the little girl, But I need some help finding her a home. I've never done this before so I don't know where to start. I gave her a bath and she has knots all in her fur. She is very loving but kinda hyper. I need to find her a home asap. I already own oes and just had a baby. So I need help finding her a home. Please let me know if you can help. Tammy |
| Hi-
I'm not sure where you're located but have you spoken with Belinda Lamm with Tarheel OES Rescue? She may be able to help you to place this sheepie-girl... it's definitely worth a call. Below is her contact information... Belinda & Pete Lamm belinda@tarheeloesrescue.org 336-768-3334 www.tarheeloesrescue.org You mentioned this sheepie-girl is a "snow cap"... you might also want to see if she can hear (snow caps are more prone to be deaf). It might explain why she appears hyper and possibly inattentive. Jaci |
| I am willing to foster the puppy if you can get her to AL, or MS. |
I will help get her to Alabama from SC if needed. I just love it when Wynette has play pals for London.  Seriously though, I will be happy to transport. |
| As far as I can tell her hearing is fine. I have taught her how to sit and she responds every time. Can someone tell me how I can post her picture on here. I know once I can show how cute she is someone will adopt her. Thanks! Tammy |
| Here are instructions for posting pictures:
http://forum.oes.org/viewtopic.php?t=1119 Good luck finding a home for the little girl! |
| Ok thanks so much. That was easy! I put one of her on there. Now I see. So people can click on the camera on my post and see her. Cool! |
| The only other step is that the uploaded photo has to be approved by Ron or a moderator. I just approved yours. She is very pretty!! |
| Omg it's another London & Rosie.
i will be happy to foster. msg being sent from my blackberry |
| Tammy -
I'm with Tarheel OES rescue. I've PM'd you to discuss how we can help. Thanks for getting her out of that pen!! |
| My mom and dad are looking for a female puppy/dog. They live in Arizona. If you learn anymore about this girl I would gladly pass the info onto them to see if they are interested. |
| I am interested in adopting a female. I live in KY and have an acre fenced in. I have had 3 OES over 29 years. |
| I would also be interested - Ava would love a playmate - please contact me if you haven't already found a home for her. |
I'm picking Angel up from Tammy on Saturday.  If you're interested in adopting her, please fill out an application at www.tarheeloesrescue.org
She'll spend a week or two in a foster home, being evaluated, getting spayed and UTD on shots, etc. Then she'll be available for adoption.
Many thanks to Tammy for getting this girl into rescue!!  |
| I am willing to pay for all of your costs and can pick up in a day or two. |
| Does anyone know how the word "Shaved" got under my name in the first column>? |

The forum has silly little terms under your user name to indicate how many posts you've placed...it starts off as shaved...then you get more hair as you place more posts...the only way to change it is to post more and move up! |
| Thanks to this forum I was able to find "Angel" a good home with a wonderful and loving family. This was my first time helping a needy OES and I really enjoyed it and It makes me feel good knowing I helped her. I will continue to look for puppies/dogs in trouble and do everything I can to help. Everyone here was so friendly and helpful. Thanks alot!
Tammy |
| Wow! That's so great! Love the forum! |

Now - to accilmate my Barbet with the OES. Everyone, wish me luck! |
| Since you chose to bypass rescue, I hope you will be getting her spayed soon. |

It's tragic that millions of dogs and cats destroyed each year which includes this breed we all love so much. Have you all seen this on PetFinder? http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/dis ... id=7584064 "...Olivers mom was an old english sheepdog and dad was a yellow lab mix. Its a shame these people can't be forced to get their dogs fixed since she has a litter every time she comes into heat..." 
Not knowing what lurks in the background of a sheepie's family tree can be risky too. Without pretesting and following the family history of both adults, a female can produce pups like two I adopted through rescue because few if any wanted them... Panda- http://www.oesusa.com/Page30.htm Kaytee- http://www.oesusa.com/Cleft-Palate-Pupp ... -puppy.htm I remember when I purchased my very first pure-bred dogs three years ago... Emma and Darby. I thought AKC meant they were quality and actually felt a little sad about having them spayed. But I did the responsible thing as I'd done with all of my other dogs... I had them spayed. It wasn't until later that I heard about complications that can occur and the money/time/research involved in breeding the right way. One of my favorite sayings, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" definitely applies to breeding when so many end up like this sheepie girl did... stuck in a pen and terribly matted. Wishing this sheepie-girl the best with her new family~ Jaci |
| We will get her fixed as soon as she recovers from anemia, hookworms and gets some weight on her - per the vet's order. She is doing well and happy as a lark and no one would ever think she is anemic. I will send photos as soon as I can. L |
| Loretta, I am sincerely glad to know that you are getting her the vet care that she needs to recouperate from being neglected for 8 months of her life.
Is she fitting in well with your other OES? |
| Hey Loretta, glad to see you on the OES.org
You guys don't have to worry, I know Loretta for a long time and she knows all about rescue and spaying. No worry, this girl could not be in better hands. Loretta called me the night she was on the way to get her. She was looking for a female and asked me, but we did not have any girls. Pictures, please. Ingrid |
| Loretta,
Thank you so much for giving this baby girl a great home. Here's wishing all the best for you and your furbabies. |
| Marley is doing well. I have a dog trainer working with me so we can get Marley and my male barbet to be friends quickly. Does anyone have some suggestions on how to integrate the dogs? He was king of the house for 3 years and likes to bark in her face alot. |
| Just some ideas though I'm not a professional trainer...
Until you're certain they've accepted each other, never leave them together unsupervised. Walks together can be a good idea... depending on how they are with each other, two people may be required. Don't leave ANY toys or chews lying around that your male might see as being his... sometimes one of the biggest causes of a fight can be that stupid stuffed toy lying on the floor that no one really wants anyway. Supervise feeding time... feed in separate rooms if necessary (or crates if you use them)- once they settle in you might be able to feed in the same room but start at opposite sides of the room. Each of my dogs has a set feeding location. My bratty Schipperke-mix is fed in the next room with the door open but my blind sheepie is fed with the Dutch door closed. It takes her longer to eat. For my pack, all of them will gather around for a treat... they must sit first to get it and also wait their turn. Panda is the most impatient... she thumps her haunches on the floor as she impatiently repositions several times in a sit. This teaches them patience but you need to watch them carefully when training them to do this and stop any behavior before it becomes a problem. We would always give the dog that had been with us the most attention or attention first so they didn't feel the new comer was a threat. If they got into a squabble, I'd stand up and leave them both so neither dog got what they wanted. Finally, a tired dog is a good dog... lots of exercise will allow them both to get rid of some of the anxiety of the new pack. I hope something above will help you... I'm certain others will provide more ideas to help. Jaci |
| I am doing everything you say Jaci. One of the good things is Jackson shares his toys and leaves it outside her gage. However, when she is out sometimes he grawls at her. Our trainer is going to have them both together on Monday night but I can't wait till we can play with them in the yard together. Don't worry - we would never leave them alone right now. She is so underweight that although she wants to play I am not sure her strength is sufficient so she can fend for herself. Thanks |

I hope you do not set your expectations to high. If anyone tries to tell you that dog behavior can be changed "qucikly" you might want to look very closlely at the methods they use. Changing the way a dog behaves takes time....lots of time....and patience and consistenacy. You may see a marked differentce if punishment is used, but it is not long-term and will definitley backfire. I would suggest you set back, take a deep breath, and display some leadership with the dogs. YOU can control their access to each other so use that control to allow their relationship to develop in a positive way. It take time.... |
| Please Please remember this is a rescue dog!! She has lived her life in a pen in the back yard. She probably is not well socialized with people, dogs and the world of living in a home. Take baby steps. Let her bond with your family, make sure she and your other dog have a safe place of their own to retreat to (a crate or seperate room is a start). She does not know the rules . If you are not right with her put her in her crate(sometimes in another room she may chew ,pee etc. she was not an inside dog) Fights (I am not saying she will fight just advice) are better prevented than broke up. Watch her body language with your other dog.Make sure each dog gets attention. I don't believe in letting them work it out I think you should intercede untill you know the dogs personality. I have four dogs and three were rescues. They all do fine but it took work. Make sure you feel comfortable with the trainer, don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable... Just my two cents Enjoy your dogs and good luck!! There are many people on this forum willing to help. She will change as she gets healthier and more acclimated in your home. |
| We are definately giving the rescue and our first dog equal attention. We do control their access to each other and are working to show them we are the pack leaders. We are using positive reinforcement and if our original dog grawls at her we remove him. She and he have equal time with our attention and my husband and I work and train them together. The rescue never starts a fight and she is very gentle with him. I am taking my time and I want this to work in the long run - so I am patient. Thank you all for the advice. |

I wouldn't worry about giving the dogs equal time. They don't keep track of it. It is best to give the dogs the time and attention that they need. If I were you I would be giving the new girl a lot of crate time, and let her integrate slowly into the house. She can use a special place to claim as her own where she can feel safe and secure. Often too much freedom at first is very stressful. That would help you existing dog get used to her smell and noises etc. being in the house. If he growls at her, that is him telling her to stay away, and best she listen. He is communicating to her the way dogs do, and that is fine. Growls are good. What you want to work towards is him being in a state that he does not feel the need to keep her away from him. In the meantime keep them separate and have any together time filled with pats and treats and fun, especially for him. Keep up the good work. |
