Gosh hope Wiley gets his home soon! he is such a nice dog. I remember many of Fred's posts about him.

I have 3 now and cannot have any more or I would seriously consider him.

I wish that all that helped with Brix/Wiley when he got lost when Fred first brought him home would make the same effort in finding this boy a forever home

Your direction in this thread is to call the #for information. Maybe there is another way to help Brix/Wiley in his location/asking the local GSD rescue to help?

NarysDad · 11-20-2012, 11:17 AM

Jane this has also been done a month ago, but thanks

onyx'girl · 11-20-2012, 11:47 AM

So is the rescue courtesy listing him? I didn't see him on their site.

I know we in rescue make it all look so easy

but to place an adult, male GSD typically takes time and patience. Anything beyond total pet lengthens the time needed. Add sable, depending on your area - yeah, I know it seems weird to everyone here - if we could fine lightly pigmented black/tan (silver) saddle backed GSDs with good temperaments, we would have a high adoption rate! My non-temp fosters in the past few years have been with me 10 months (sport dog), 1 year (senior), 8 months (an old health issue), 10 months (health/shy).

When you look at the board itself as a place to adopt a dog out, it is not a very effective (in terms of percentages) place to do that either. I just don't want people to have high hopes that this will be THE place to have an adoption happen.

Rescues can help in many ways beyond the courtesy listing. They can go through adopters and applicants to see if the dog is a match with any. They can help in the screening process. They can help support people with training resources, evaluations, and vetting info. Courtesy posting is just one way to help.

I am not local to Wiley and so do not know the best resources available in terms of rescues, but I would focus on them for sure with the understanding that they are really busy too. I am very sorry for Wiley and for Fred's wife and family.

Jane I would be happy to give you Linda's number and she can answer your your questions. I know white paws knows about him also since Maureen has talked to me and also Linda about him and she set up a evaluation on him

**JeanKBBMMMAAN** · 11-20-2012, 12:05 PM

I am glad to hear that local rescue/White Paws is involved.

I hope Maureen will share the evaluation on here to further help Wiley. And independent evaluation is so important.
