UPDATE ON DOGS NEEDING HOME


I just talked to the grandfather and he is less in a hurry than his granddaughter, Megan. made everyone believe.

He said they have till Friday, so another 5 days is given, but they still need to find a home.

As many of you know, we lost Hershee after 18 years just this past Christmas and are looking for a dog or two, but because my wife is in a wheelchair we need dogs we can train to be around and almost serve her, even if they won't be professionally trained they need to be a bit younger to train into a certain mode.

Otherwise I would love to take them. I still may talk my wife into it, but then we would still have to get another dog that will be trained for her.

Three dogs is not really in our budget though.
By the way the male, Freedom, is not fixed, but the female, Liberty, is.
I had made an error and mixed it up in the original post.

Freedom (female) loves laying laps and will jump up on people if not corrected when he first tries that. Liberty (male) listens really well, but Freedom is a bit harder to handle. They both require a control harness for walking. They weren't trained for voice commands, and will take off if off leash.

Luckily having until Friday will give them time to call one of the lab rescues or no-kill shelters. Personally I’d try a lab rescue first, but that’s just me.

It’s wonderful that you tried so hard to help find a home for these 2 dogs. I wish the family all the luck in the world not only rehoming these dogs, but in their new community. Since you mentioned they were struggling and moving for better opportunities, I hope this move helps them.

Yes, I’ve been trying to find a 3 to 4 month old German Shepherd for a long time.

Read the whole thread, lots of great suggestions/solutions...but it's a week later, my first chance to get back to FR in over a week, and now I really want to know what happened to the two pups!

Please post the presumably "happy ending", or FReepmail me, and THANKS!
