Quite a difference, a dog is a social pack animal that knows when things change. I wouldn't get rid of a dog.

Hope you can rehome that beautiful dog, Alan.

I hope I can too, we'll see what happens tomorrow. How much do you think it would cost to ship her to you?

If only it was possible. Over this last year there's been a spate of rehoming among my friends, with the rescued rotty and dobermann at the stables, a rotty/dobermann cross and a rotty rescue with work colleagues, and another nurse is currently looking for a big/medium dog as a running companion/ home security/best friend. (I showed her a picture of my old girl Ellie, lab/pit/collie squishing me and she's sold on trying to find a similar sized dog).
I think an extension on time to find a new home would be perfectly reasonable from your boss, after all that dog has lived there this long so a little longer won't hurt.

I tried to get more time, no go. The boss cites insurance reasons. We had a break in and the insurance company really gave us a look-over. I can't argue with the fact that she is not effective as a guard dog, but she shouldn't just be disposed of.

Get on the internet and find a shepherd rescue. Being that the dog has vet records/shots/spayed they should take her. I know in Texas the rescue groups are great. We have groups drive 10+ hours to come get dogs.

Thank you, I did several last night, including that one. That's what I was doing yesterday, no results. Everyone's full but they allowed me to post her on one.
Seems a lot of people think dogs can be thrown away like the trash.
Oh well, phone calls today, thanks for the luck.

Good Luck Alan...stories like this make me so sad. I really hope that when I get on here after work today you have good news.....
