| What a pretty dog! She even looks happy despite the circumstances. I hope there is good news ahead for her. |
| Doesn't she look sweet? I love that sheepie smile. I told Josh that there was a senior OES in Dubuque and he asked all kinds of questions about her. I think he would even spring her from the shelter, if needed. |
| Erin, I would recommend calling to see if she is in danger or if another rescue has expressed interest in her. In my experience, if a dog has made it onto petfinder with a picture and bio they are usually safe, however better safe than sorry in these instances. If she is in danger you can talk to the area breed rescues to see if they have anything planned. If not, let me know and I will help you spring her. paws crossed that shes safe  |

I'll have to call them tomorrow. They close at 5 tonight, but are open late tomorrow. I'll call on my lunch. With luck, she is not in danger. |
| Well, I did get a chance to speak with the humane society. They are a kill shelter, but they usually only euthanize if there is aggression or in some cases, space issues. They seem to think she will be adopted quickly, despite her age. They did say that a rescue organization could call and speak with management and discuss that as an option for her. |
| This is what I recieved from the Humane Society. Katrina is a wonderful older Old English Sheepdog. She is microchipped, spayed, and current on all of her shots. Katrina and her friend Derby were brought to us by their owners who were breeders that no longer wanted them because they were too old to breed. Katrina is 9 years old, and her owners said she was not housebroken. She’s full of energy, and a little jumpy. She’s a little shy at first, but she warms up pretty well. Katrina’s adoption fee is $100. If you’re interested in adopting her yourself, you’re more than welcome to come out and see her and see what you think. However we’re not at the point yet where we feel we need help placing her, so we’re not ready yet to go to a rescue. Please let us know if you have any other questions or anything we can help you with. I can't get over that she was given up to the humane society because she was too old to breed. Were they breeding her up to 9 years old?! Poor girl |

Poor girl You better believe they were! Happens all the time. And the older they get generally the smaller the litters get (in number of puppies) so less cost effective. She probably wasn't paying for her keep (so to speak).  |

She probably wasn't paying for her keep (so to speak). That just blows my mind. And that fact that she isn't potty trained, to me, means she was probably living outside. As hot and humid as it gets in Iowa, that poor dog must have really suffered. |
| Disgusting. I am glad she is free of those people and wish her a wonderful future. |
