| Awwww... she does look rather sheepie to me too. The blue eyes with the
black rims, the look of her ears, her shaggy coat. Such a cutie... I hope she finds her home soon. They say she's been there since August 21st 
PS- I love your avatar with the little peanut-pup sitting between the two shaggy beauties  |
| weird- they have her listed as a pit bull! |
| Why in the heck would they list that little fluffball as part pitbull? It must be a mistake. |
Clearly whoever identified her breed does not know much about pitbulls.  She's got the sweetest face. Wish she were closer to me.  |
| I wrote to the shelter earlier this morning and mentioned some of the
similarities this little girl has to an OES. That maybe if she were listed under a new Petfinder breed she might find her new family. I gave them this link too

Maybe this girl was listed by the surrendering owner as a PB mix on the turn-in sheet? Maybe the people doing the Petfinder listings aren't the same ones that see the actual dogs so they have to rely strictly on what's on the paper they're writing from? They must handle SO many unwanted pets... I had wondered if maybe Pit Bull was directly under OES but it's down about 9 listings so it wasn't an accidental click. 
I hope she finds her match with a loving and patient family.  |
| Definitely a Poodle Mix and I agree on OES because of the eye color and facial looks. Where would they get Pit from??
In my non expert opinion it is a Apricot Poodle and a OES Mix.  |
| Linda Lou is listed in the Old English Sheepdog section
I hope it will help her new family finder her 
http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/dis ... id=9186382 The Western Pennsylvania Humane Society in Pittsburgh (the same shelter that has Linda Lou) also has another baby looking for a home. His name is Spirit and he kinda has a sex change as his/her story's told He/she sounds like a doll
http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/dis ... id=9186665 "...Spirit is a spunky and fun loving gal. She enjoys wiggling and being close to her humans. She needs an owner who will help build her confidence level..." |
| In the all about her section she's still listed as a Poodle/Pit Bull. |
| hooray:) Hope she'll find a new home soon. so cute *sigh* I showed her picture to jeff and he said "NO MORE DOGS!!!" aww. |
Quote: he said "NO MORE DOGS!!!" aww.
Well the party pooper anyway
It's definitely good to know your limits |

Shelter workers have difficult jobs, that personally, I know I could never do.
I appreciate you taking the time to contact the shelter and get the listing corrected. I believe it will give her a better chance of being placed in the correct home. |

Tammy PLEASE don't think I was chastising anyone 
I completely understand what you said. These furry kids need to be listed appropriately or perspective families simply won't know they exist and this reduces their chances at finding a home. I'm doing another PF page for a long distance rescue and I don't get to see these dogs nor observe behavior so I can only rely on words provided to me in an email or over the phone. I guess this is why I could understand how the boo-boo might have occurred
If you happen to see a sheepie mislabel as a Pomeranian in OES rescue, please let me know!!  |
| Not at all. I just realize that your hands-on, active approach is much more positive and helpful. |

| I love you all!
That was way cool... hard feelings from misunderstanding avoided. Can I take lessons? |
