Not sure what to do with my sweet puppy
|

| Have you been in contact with the breeder? In a past post you state that Ollie came from a reputable breeder, so she will probably want him back. Otherwise, you can contact a rescue that will make sure Ollie has a very good home. These are the only suggestions I have. You do not say if you are trying to sell him or just give him free to a good home. just for your information, this forum does not allow selling of dogs. Hopefully, Ollie will find a home that will be his furever home.  |
| Oh that is so sad! You didn't say where you live but in my area, there are tons of "dogwalkers" who will take dogs out for exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. We also have doggie daycares where your dog can play all day. These are great options but can be pricey. I agree with Val that your first step should be to talk to the (reputable) breeder from whom you got him. I also strongly believe that rescue organizations are the best qualified to help place sheepdogs who need a new home. I've gotten 2 sheepdogs via rescue and both were a really great fit for me but I could see why they might not have been for someone else. Good luck with your sweet boy -- I hope you and the breeder or rescue can find him a great home. |
| Where are you located? There are many sheepie rescues that will be extremely careful about placing your pup. Breeder first, like others have said. |
| We did contact the breeder but she seemed unwilling to take him back, which was a surprise to me. I'm not interested in selling him, I just want to make sure he goes to a good home. We are in WV and I posted this same information on a OES rescue site but haven't gotten any feedback. We don't have doggie daycares in my area, unfortunately, and I am not comfortable with someone I don't know having my security code to get in my house to walk him. |

If an OESCA breeder <?> we sign a code of ethics that states we'll be there for the life of the dog. If he came from a reputable breeder it's not rescue's problem to see to his wellbeing. Will the breeder work with you in placing him at least? Quite honestly, I'm single, I work and my dogs survive - there are ways to handle that. But I sense you've made up your mind, and you obviously have a good understanding of what you're looking for in a home. Hopefully breeder will at least help you on that count. I'm guessing it's not super urgent and he's not out on his hairy tushie tomorrow in any event? If you can take the time you'll have a better chance at finding him a good home, and it's actually to his advantage not to get bounced around too much (foster homes and such), if you can manage that. Good for you for disclosing the undescended testicle and protectiveness. Fingers crossed for him.  Kristine |
| I am sorry you are in this position, it is a hard decision I am in NC and do OES rescue. I am not sure what OES Rescue board you are speaking of, I have never heard of it. Where in WV are you? I am sure we can work something out to help you. Please feel free to email me at carolinasoes@gmail.com |
| This post makes me so sad...did they find a home yet for this baby? |
| I hope Ollie's mom can let us know how everything turned out. Robin |
| She is talking to people that are interested and checking references right now, said she would let me know if she needed assistance |
 hope everything works out x |
| Any update on Oliver?? Kathy- if rescue is involved I might be able to help with transportation.... |
Thank you Kathy for following Ollie and for all you do.  Robin |
