Could you be my new fureverrr home?
Vaughan and I have made the toughest decision and decided it would be kinder to our dog Otis in the long haul to find him the best family possible.
He was an spca rescue pup that we got from animates (had arrived from the spca 2hours before we got him). He is about two years old.
We think he is a Bearded Collie X he is 26kilos. Making this decision has been weighing heavily on our minds since our son was born, as we thought our son was never a possibility, and it is heartbreaking because it is literally rehoming a member of your family. We love this dog and just want the best life possible for him.
Ideally he would need a fully fenced section, farm or big yard and has to be allowed to sleep inside, He is a fantastic dog and is very loyal and loving to both Vaughan and I.
He is upto date with Vacs, rego and is desexed and microchipped.
Fantastic guard dog! But very gentle and loving.
He is very good with our son who is six months, however, when we have had other children here he follows them and trys to jump up.
He just wants to lick us and oliver all the time and loves cuddles (just not around his man bits or when he is over tired).
He knows how to sit, shake, down, catch, watch, road, walkies, car, up, down, off.. etc, we have been working on ‘come’ and ‘quiet’.
He is toliet trained. He is Great with Other dogs and has been attending a doggie daycare since he was 16weeks old.
Ideally he would need a bigger section (fenced), farm, or someone that could take him on 2 big walks a day as he is high energy. He would need to sleep inside and we have his crate, indoor bed, blankets and pillow (if new owners would like) we also have an outdoor bed and a bucket full of toys (including ball gun).
Please email me k.gra@hotmail.com or message me on here with a little about your home, life and some details if you feel you or someone you may know is interested in having loving this dog.
