PIP my foster dog

Hey Ladies,

I haven't been around in quite a while, but I used to lurk and post a bit more. Anyway I just wanted to post a picture of my new foster dog. his name is Emmett and he is a 9 month old 44lb Beagle/English Bulldog Mix. He is a happy and playful guy,  but timid in new situations. He's friendly with dogs, people, and cats. I think he'd prefer a rowdy playmate to run around outside with, but he'd also probably do fine as an only dog. He's still adjusting to life in a house and we're working on some basic things like house breaking and general obedience, but he is very food motivated which should help.  He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered and the vet did not identify any health issues. He was rescued from a puppy mill, but thankfully he is very social with people and doesn't want to eliminate in his crate (some common problems with mill dogs and pet store dogs). He is sponsored through a small breed rescue in Toledo (Littlest Angels Pet Sanctuary) but he isn't listed on petfinder just yet. If you know anyone who might be interested in adopting him let me know or you can email the rescue http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=OH372

  • He is adorable!  We have a pitbull/american bull dog mix and he is the most gentle giant ever!

     

    Good luck with fostering!

  • Kzoomaggie- Everything is going pretty well, just been busy with work and life.  I took a break from TN after a bit of craziness went down with another poster on a different board (a stranger somehow tracked her exact address using GPS coordinates that were tied to a photo she posted). Needless to say it got me a bit freaked out. Good lesson though- I'm going to be a bit more careful about how much personal information I post. Never know how many creepy lurkers are out there!

    Jaysantos- your dog is adorable!!! He looks like a total sweetie!

    Yeah, there has definitely been some craziness that has gone down in the past, but that's pretty scary!  I'm glad to hear that things are going well!!!

    Holy crap what the heck is wrong with people!!!! 

    Such a cute dog!

  • Kind of scary! Facebook can actually identify where photos were taken too and I think it posts the location (just city) on timeline. Still a bit much, especially when other people can post photos of you. You lose a bit of control of your personal privacy control.

  • I want him... There's no way I could though.  Think he could be a hunting dog? or at least enjoy the hike involved with hunting?  My brother seemed interested in another dog last week.  (out of state- does that matter?)

  • This guy is definitely not a hunter. He has no prey drive which would make it really hard to train him for that type of thing. What type of hunting does your brother want to do? I know of a bird dog rescue that actually starts puppies with pointing at an early age to get them ready for the field. Most of the fosters are hunters so they can do a fair assessment of how birdy they are. They also can transport to the right home.

    lol sorry! I know how you feel. I love dogs so much and it was so hard when I lived in a non dog friendly apartment.

  • Sooo cute!! Do you have this in a format that I can send to DH?  Let me know if you'd like me to PM you my email address.  I don't know if DH is ready for a new dog yet (we put down his a year and a half ago and he still isn't quite over it :( ) but I'd like to share this with him...gotta plant the seeds!
  • Sure! Send me a PM with your email address I can attach the photos and the bio I wrote for him.

    He is freakin' adorable! I wish! Nelly & Allyn would be super mad. I would love to have a 3rd dog. 

    Good luck & I hope he finds his forever home soon!

     

  • But look at this sweet face. Nelly and Allyn would love him :)
