If any of you ever need a loyal dog Heelers are very loyal. I'm sure that he didn't leave his owner.

I have a message sent to a friend of mine who loves those dogs. It's ironic that Beth and I had a conversation yesterday about getting another dog but we are not home enough.
Shared on FB as well.
If I cared for people as much as I do for animals I would actually be a nice guy.

Thanks Jim and Rick.....appreciate the efforts and comments. I feel the same way you do Rick. :)

+1 on dat.

Good luck with the little guy Baz. Will be thinking positive thoughts.

Bump for the little guy. I already have 2 dogs and a cat. He looks friendly.

I have had a a friend in that area like the page as well as my wife. I have no idea why but I really want to see this dog adopted.

I talked to the lady in the contact. She said she's got funding to cover him through the end of the week. He'll be neutered this week. She said he was friendly and weighs about 28 pounds.

Baz, not sure your connection, but I will keep thread updated as I hear more info (or if he comes home with me).

Hey guys.....wow thanks so much for your caring and efforts!

Look at that first photo......this little one just wants someone to love!

He's speckled like my rescue girl too - but he still has his tail!!!

Steve - you're a saint for posting the update. The contact is a just another FB friend who loves ACD's and is involved in rescue. Choctaw looks like he would be a great companion - I hope it works out - and yes please keep us posted! :)

There's those ears!

I would love to have him but I have three Jack Russells rescues already and can't have any more right now. I hope that he will find a new home soon. With that face and those eyes I think we will find a new home soon.

I'm in Gastonia so if someone needs a PPI let me know.

Ha ha. Do you have little kids? The lady who posted him said she was going to check him out with kids but she needed to "borrow some". LOL.

I'm too far away to be much help. My blue is the smartest most loyal dog I have ever had. Somebody make the move.....you will not be disappointed!

only 28 lbs? I have a cat that almost weighs that much.

Hi Rick,

You must have a fairly good-sized kiddle! :eek:

My rescue girl was about this weight (28 lbs.) when she adopted me 6 years ago but since has filled out to around 40 lbs. which is average for this breed. Thankfully, her personality has blossomed also - now she knows how to "be a dog". She was intimidated very easily before. She still has some issues....must have been terribly mistreated by her PO.

Any luck finding a home? I would take her if I could. Something about that little dog.......

Still waiting to hear back from the contact. She had him such a short time, she was trying to do a further asssrssment. I don't think it's a time critical as it was but she said she can't bring him home since she had like 8 dogs. One of the people on her Facebook account said shed take him, but is in Wisconsin. So who knows. Sounds like People in the for sale forum here. No follow through. Will keep yo all posted if I hear anything. I think he'd fit in nice with my dog.

She said he's chilling at the kennel, but is laid back and sweet. She said she's going to take him to petsmart to be around people And others on Wednesday if he hasn't had the big surgery.
