Oooh! I hope you get him!!! ;D

Sent off an e-mail to the address listed in the ad...
now we wait & see... ;)
-
Yaaaaayyyyyy! I am SO HAPPY that someone is interested in him! ;D ;D ;D
Good luck!

Oh he seems like such a great guy - good luck in getting him!!!

Just heard from his owner Eric...
Sad story, little boy(2) has developed severe allergies to the dog. :'(
They live about 15 min. from me. He will call me after work tonight & bring him by to meet Sampson.
He's 2yr, but still intact - should I have any concerns if Sam's snipped? ???
Give me some advice here, please...
-k.

I'd just be careful with the introduction. Make it happen on neutral turf somewhere, and if you do end up bringing him home you might want to keep them separated for a little while to get used to each others presence in the house. Then gradually bring them together, and get that guy neutered ASAP! ;)
-
Wow, good luck. I would see about getting him nuetered before bringing him into you home. I know my male who has been nuetered since a pup gets territorial with unnuetered males. Plus, the new guy might decide to mark your house as his own. I agree about meeting nuetral territory.
-
What about a place like Petsmart - do you think that would work? It's pretty neutral - isn't it?
I think I agree on the snip prior to moving in...

Oh Kristy, I sure hope it works out tonight, and you can give him a home. I emailed the guy too, and pressed the issue that these big paws just aren't for everyone, and that for someone unexperienced, the novelty of having a 170 pound dog could wear off. It sounds like he took it to heart; I'm so glad!

I think somewhere outside would be better, someplace without too many distractions. Is it possible to introduce them at a park?

ok- totally confused...wha t does Nicole mean here?

There was a post, that had a pic of the same dog and said, "Need to rehome our English Mastiff". So, I thought that was strange, considering that you were going to meet the dog, and I bumped this post so that it would be near the new one with the pic of Otis. It just seemed strange to me. Anyway, so that's why. ;D
-
where did you see the post? on our board?
-k.
-
OK. The matter has been cleared up. You will see the post right above this one, I believe. It says, "We need to rehome our English Mastiff".
The family was posting here just in case it didn't work out with you guys, I guess.

I look forward to hearing this works out well for both parties involved. On a similar note, my husband found a free mastiff posted today on his work's internal 'merchandiser' of sorts. We contacted her and hope to meet this Sat. The waiting and everything is a bit nerve-racking, isn't it? :)

Any updates?
