Permission to cross-post http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=7651323 Bernie is a nice ES of unknown pedigree that has had a tough go finding the right forever family. He has been an "almost NESR dog" a couple of times, but each time he was adopted at the shelter before NESR could become involved. The shelter staff loves him and really hopes we can help find him a family who feels he is a keeper. Bernie is a 6 yo, neutered and housebroken male who is not good with small animals and must go to a cat-free home. Most recently, he lived on a small horse farm and did great with the horses. He was protective of the property and would bark at approaching strangers. If given the opportunity, he did chase unknown cars that drive onto the property...but these owners were proactive in correcting that behavior. They reported that he had excellent house manners, good recall, responded well to authority, loved car rides, was obedient on a leash, loved a good game of fetch/frisbee, and stayed within farm boundaries (20+ acres). But he cannot live with cats. His first four years were spent with a family with small children. No problems were reported there. At his second home, he behaved nicely with 4-year old grandchildren. However his most recent placement via the shelter fell thru because he did not interact well with toddlers. No details. Just that he didn't particularly like them. If you are available to foster Bernie, or are in Ohio and available to help with transport, please contact me off-list. He is at the Delaware County Humane Society, in Delaware, OH (just north of Columbus). Thanks!
