This guy is 4 years old approximately and been through allot.. I need a foster that can help him with his fear.. he has nipped once and has been tagged for euthanasia Feb 15th. in Toronto.. No one there is stepping up for this boy and I have my hands full of puppies right now.. Does anyone know anyone here or in Toronto that might be willing to work with this little guy ?

I have provided you previously with a contact for this particular breed. The breeders are willing to save them from entering the rescue/shelter system. Infact, even if a legitimate breeder is not located, they have taken the responsiblity to re-home them. For once - this group can be trusted and I have nothing bad to say about them.

If you need further detail again about who to contact then let me know.

If anyone wishes to spare him from being euthanized then they should be contacted immediately.

Thanks.

Well PBGV need people that understand the breed.. he is in this mess because he was in a rescue that wasn't breed specific.. and they placed him in a bad foster that abused his.. lets say aloof/stubborn behavior.. so he nipped.. now he sits on death row

BenMax
February 12th, 2009, 04:10 PM

Aw, he is a real cutie :lovestruck: Reminds me of my Hobo.

That terrier attitude can be a little difficult to break through but once they figure out how to please you they are always willing. I know for Hobo he is always TRYING to make the right choice...sometimes it is just stronger than him ;)

I am sure this little guy will shape up fine and be a valued family member in no time :fingerscr

Okay a trainer has stepped up to help if he stays in the Toronto area..

From time to time I check Helen's blog out, it said that this little guy had to leave Kitchener. Has a family been found for him?

The entry on her blog was dated April 10th, I'm pretty sure she would have found a suitable arrangement if he has already left Kitchener.

Well sadly they could not after all this time rehab the aggressiveness of this boy.. so he was continually living his life with fear and untrusting ready to bite at anytime.. a very unfair way to live to both Linda.. John and him.. so with little alternative and a VERY heavy heart .. John put him to sleep last week..

chico2
May 6th, 2009, 03:35 PM
Oh Helen,not what I wanted to hear,but I am sure Linda and John did not give up easy:sad:

He is at peace chico.
He was with linda on a leather couch eating all he could eat liver treats.they gave him a shot to keep him relaxed well he ate and linda could say her good byes.he crossed peacefully.

It wasn't an easy decision for Helen to make and it was hard to say good bye.
