OES in Central Ohio needs new home
She does not get along with other pets. She can't be with small kids either. There needs to be someone out there who will be able to make this type of commitment to her. She is about 2 to 3 years old. So if anyone wants to adopt her then please leave a message here and I will keep checking the website. Thanks.. oh, we are in central ohio. |

| I am so sorry you're having this problem. I know how difficult this decision must have been for you to make.
We have contacts in the Ohio area. Have you seen this page? http://www.oes.org/html/oes_rescue.shtml Madeline in Ohio should be able to help you, if not then try a listing for NEOESR. Grannie Annie will turn you on to someone who can help. PLEASE come back and check this thread for other info and / or offers, and to let us know the resolution to your problem. If you are having difficulty contacting people or need immediate help, please let us know and we'll redouble our efforts to help you. I am so glad you've come to the right place for info. Thank you. 2 things: 1) PLEASE don't give over your dog to a generic "rescue" or "shelter". OES rescues have people waiting for dogs, and people experienced with OES that nip, bite or are aggressive. All homes are screened to find the exact right home for your exact dog. 2) PLEASE be honest with the rescue so that they can place the dog in an appropriate foster care situation for evaluation... sometimes behaviour issues don't show up in the first few weeks while the dog is being evaluated, and that could lead to a placement in the wrong home. Thank you again for for contacting us here, and know that we are standing with you in this difficult time. |
| I agree with Ron. Grannie Annie was fabulous when we adopted our sheepie and she knows who's who in the sheepie rescue world if Madeline is unable to assist you.
Be sure to be very open and frank about your sheepie and pass along her characteristics (like you've mentioned here) so she'll have the best chance at finding the perfect family. We adopted a sheepie from NEOESR that has hip dysplasia, severe separation anxiety and had been in two other homes not including a month at a shelter by the age of 10 months when she first entered OES rescue. So there are some people out there who accept sheepies with all their little quirks and shortcomings... a good OES rescue will do their best to match them up with families to love them. Just ask about the follow-up... NEOESR had excellent follow-up to make sure the placement was right for both the sheepie and the family. Wishing you and your sheepie the best~ Jaci |
| I just had someone e-mail me who said he was trainer and I should have the dog put to sleep if she can't get along with other animals or small kids.
He said even if it is food aggression then the dog should be put to sleep... I would rather not do that though. She is a good dog for a single or couple who would have time to be with her. |

That is absolutely ridiculous! My female has Food aggression and my Male sometimes nips at my son (only when provoked). I guess they should both be put to sleep huh? Obviously that guy is not a good trainer if he could not solve simple problems like that. |
| I have a sheepie that has bitten, and have had other dogs that are considered to be food and/or animal agressive. Please do not put her down as there are plenty of us that will foster a dog that is considered to be agressive and work with them. |
| I have a driver going thru Ohio in the next few days if transport is needed |

That's a good lesson is why you should work with a reputable rescue organization rather than random nutjobs. I am sure a good home can be found for your dog. Madeleine or Grannie Annie should be able to help you. Have you contacted them? |

He said even if it is food aggression then the dog should be put to sleep... Unfortunately this is the criteria for many shelters. There are just soooooo many homeless dogs to choose from that strictly from a liability standpoint it is safer to place a dog without these tendacies. Although rescue groups don't open their arms to dogs with behavioral issues that involved teeth, if you can find one to take her in that may be her best bet....If a rescue group has an appropriate foster home will and able to work with her, that is...or at least assess her to see if she is workable. |

My first OES had food aggression but he was my best friend for 13 wonderful years. He seemed to forget all about the food aggression when mom put people food treats in his bowl. That alone should never be the basis for putting any dog to sleep. |

Some people feel that there are too many "good" dogs out there that need loving homes, why mess with ones that need "fixing"? Because we can't save them all and OES are the ones we help first. How did someone that doesn't know you, your dog or your situation come to the conclusion that she isn't worth "fixing"? I wouldn't accept a diagnosis from my vet or my physician via e-mail.  Your dog needs to be evaluated one-on-one by someone who is qualified and knows the breed. Sadly, some dogs cannot be rehabilitated and must be euthanized but she deserves a chance.
I'm located in southeastern Indiana and if I can help in any way, please let me know via PM.

| While I don't doubt you got an email telling you to
put your dog down (idiot IMO) how could it have come to you through the forum? Didn't I see you signed in as a guest? Curioser and curiouser Shellie |
| That's an excellent question - I was wondering the same thing |

| I posted an ad on another site for adoption. |
| ah - well that answers that

| Where in Central Ohio are you? I live in New Albany and may be able to help. Please let me know!
Thanks! Bridget |
| well, I don't know how to contact you other than here.
I am out around Heath. Not terribly far from you I guess. |
You should contact Madeline Erickson of New York State OES Rescue at waynenik@aol.com or at 585-293-2967. She has volunteers all over Ohio who will be able to help rehome your dog to give it the best chance of a happy life.

| It takes special people to understand dogs with aggression.
Grannie Annie and her rescue angels across the country could help you if you contact her. I got a sheepdog out of southern New Mexico I thought would be an easy adoption. HA! Three days into our relationship he went for me. I decided not to put him up for adoption, but rather work with him. Now Jack is my love dog, but I'm still not 100% comfortable with him in public situations. |
| You can email me at hoffma41@yahoo.com or call me at 614-975-9708 and we can work together to place your dog. Have you called any of the rescue contacts suggested? |
