Sherlock in Murfreesboro, TN

Sherlock is available for adoption.

Sherlock

Sherlock is a male Old English Sheepdog, approximately 2-3 years old, neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. We pulled him from a shelter in East TN. After a 250 mile journey to his foster home, a necessary trip to the groomer and de-worming, he is finally comfortable and able to trust again. We don't have any info on Sherlock's past, but so far he has done well with kids and is showing signs of become the most super sweet dog ever! He is learning to love again and loves to have the hand of a kind person petting him. Currently he is being taken out often while he relearns potty training. Sherlock is one of our Sheepies that comes with a tail and is not bobbed. He is being fostered in Murfreesboro, TN.

Lincoln in Atlanta, GA


Lincoln has been adopted!


Lincoln will be one year old on Christmas day. He came from a home where the parents moved out and the neighbors took him. Unfortunately his new owners current dog is having issues with Lincoln. Outside they do fine, inside the other dog is making Lincoln's life miserable and owners want to get Lincoln into a happier environment.

Lincoln is being fostered in Atlanta, Georgia.

Gracie in Tulsa, OK

Old English Sheepdog for Adoption

Gracie has been adopted!

Update: This week has been a busy one for little Gracie. Between moving in, a vet visit, grooming and learning the rules of her OES brothers, she's been through a lot in her short time here. She is settling in quite nicely and is such a great sheepdog! She does have some incontinence and has started taking Proin. Our vet thought this could be a contributing factor to her peeing when excited as well. Gracie behaved and was cooperative while being shaved, giving kisses anytime she could reach our face. She wasn't a fan of having her nails trimmed, but conceded that it was necessary so she'd be pretty and clean for her new family :) She'll give you a paw or put her head under your hand just in case you forgot she was there and have I mentioned the blue eyes? They'll get you every time. She's a great dog looking for an equally as great family. Could that be you?  Click here to see Gracie's new haircut!

Meet Gracie: Her owner was failing in health and made the hard decision to turn her in to rescue. She is adorable! A little girl at 48 lbs., but what she lacks in size she makes up for in spunk. She will wiggle her whole body when she's happy and you just can't help but smile when she's around. Gracie is AKC registered, spayed, blue eyed, four years old, knows some commands (sit and down) and is crate and house trained. She is definitely used to getting her way. (With a face and personality like hers, I can totally see why!). Her new family will have to work with her on who is in charge. She would also benefit from a refresher course in leash training. She hasn't met a stranger and so far isn't timid or shy about anything. She was hit by a truck at three months old and suffered a fractured pelvis. They did two surgeries to repair the fractures, but she still walks funny sometimes and does the bunny hop when she runs (keeps her back feet together as one). It doesn't seem to bother her though, she still wants to run and play with the two resident OES and she can navigate stairs with no problem. The vet did say that we can expect some arthritis in her pelvic area as she ages and keeping her at a good weight with regular exercise will be very important. Currently she pees a little when she gets excited, but I think that should lessen as she becomes secure in her new home. She is up to date on her shots, heart worm negative and in overall good health.

Gracie is being fostered in Tulsa, OK.

Trey in Birmingham, AL

Old English Sheepdog for Adoption

Trey has been adopted!

Trey is a nine and a half year old boy who’s had a tough life. He was penned up outside from puppyhood. He is very sweet but has some emotional issues and will need a very special home that is willing to work with him. Trey can get territorial over his space and has some signs of food guarding. He has gotten along with his two OES foster sisters and if he is guarding his food or his space he can be brought out if his foster sisters are doing something he finds interesting.

Trey needs an experienced dog owner preferably with another dog for Trey to emulate.
He is up to date on his shots and has been neutered. He is Heartworm positive but is undergoing treatment.

Although Trey has behaved well around small children but he shouldn't go to a home where he would be around them all the time.

Trey is house broken and can be crated (although it's not his favorite thing). This old guy needs an understanding and loving new family to spend his golden years.

Because Trey is a senior sheepdog he is available for adoption without a fee. Membership in OESRNSE is still required. Click here to read about adopting an older dog. Click here for some great information about fearful dogs like Trey.
