Looking for a pup

[staxi2]

I am not sure if it's alright to post this here or , not. Mods please move if need be.
My father-in-law is looking for a female pup under 4 months.We are open to rescue,and have been searching shelters in Ohio. He has been putting in apps with rescues. He currently has a 100 lb. ,neutered 2 yr old male.I am 5'1 and his head is past my hips,lol. My father-in-law has nearly 2 acres of land,partly fenced,the rest will be completed this year,or the beginning of spring. He and his wife are in their early 50's,the wife is at home all day. A home check is fine. She (the gs) would be a inside dog,able to go in/out of the fenced area through a doggie door.My father -in-law has been at the same job for over 20 yrs,and is financially stable. He has vet references. He does want a PB,but does not care about papers,he will never breed her. If she is spayed great,if not his vet will do it as soon as she is old enough.He does have GS experience,his current GS is his second GS.If anyone knows of any pups please let me know. We are trying to stay away from breeders,there are plenty (somewhere,lol) in shelters,or rescue that need a home. I am hoping these pictures of my in-laws current GS,will post through photo bucket, he is beautiful.This is Bandit,2yrs. old. My email is staxi2@yahoo.com,will watch this thread too.

Oh Bandit is very handsome! Have you done a google search for rescues near you? You can also try this website German Shepherd Rescue and Adoption- Adopt a German Shepherd Near You and of course petfinder is another great one.

I have been on petfinder....He (father-in-law) actually put in a app to Shepherd Haven Recue in Grove City,OH. . He wants to see and find out more about this girl :


Kerstin has been with us for a little while. She has been settling in and learning some manners. She is a very pretty girl and has been through a resident training program, HOWEVER, do not expect this girl to be fully trained. She is going to take some work but we think that she is definitely worth it. She is particular about who she buddies with among the dogs that are here. She really likes people and we think she will blossom in a new home of her own. Kerstin is a HIGH ENERGY dog so she will only be placed into a home where she will get the exercise that she needs. She is already SPAYED!!***

Beautiful girl - older than what you were originally considering? The one caveat would seem to be the phrase "she is particular about who she buddies with." Important to have her meet your boy, just in case they don't hit it off.... being "particular" can run the gamut from getting along with only a very few dogs to getting along with almost all - with a few exceptions. Good luck to you - thank you for considering Rescue!

Yes ,she is beautiful. If we go forward my father in law will met her first. After that he will take Bandit. Bandit is a great dog,yet jealous at time. Does not like to share his master always,lol. However he is submissive at the same time. He loves to play with other dogs,and shows no aggression. So we will see...if it is not a match my in laws will not do it.

She is so pretty. I hope it works out!

Well,is there no other pups out there needing help,or a home ??? I know pups go fast though. W e have found some born 2 days ago,will be ready the 1st week of December----we r not sure though. Think it was called open registratio(?) $700.00,or closed $600.00. Although, she said a good home was more important,and the least she would sell for is $350.00,and the pick of the liter. Said these are excellent dogs/backgroundb Will except $100.00 deposit,I talked her down to that,lol. So we are thinking it over VERY CAREFULLY ! She was extremely nice through emails,she is located in Mt. Vernon,Oh. This is not the mom/dad's first liter,she sent pics of previous pups born. They are beautiful adult GS though,and so are the past pups. We will see,we are still looking...........

[staxi2]

I offered $250.00-$300.00.she asked for $350.00,that is better then 6/$700.00 right. Not even sure what open/close registration is,lol. Does that mean papers ?

Then you are buying a puppy instead of adopting?

[staxi2]

No we have not committed to anything.We are open to everything,we want just the right pup,as she will be a forever family member.
