Here's the info.:

She is an owner giveup.  She is still with the owners.  I told them that they need to make a donation to a rescue that takes her.  She is sending pics and contacting me again on Tuesday.

She is safe.  They no longer want her because they don't have time for her.  They realize that they should never have gotten her.  She is from a breeder in Colorado.

Can anyone help? I can help with temporary foster and transportation .

We're looking for a girl newf, already have 2 male dogs and melissa wants to balance out the testerone here a little better.   Please pm us if you hear anything else, or I could also help with transport if they decide on another home within our side of louisiana.

[Scootergirl]

excellent! I'll send you the pictures when I get them. Where are you again?

[brandon]

Bay Minette, AL.. that is about 30 minutes north of Mobile, about 3 hours east of New Orleans.

Melissa needs a little girl !

[Scootergirl]

sounds like destiny to me!! I have no problem driving her out to your place. I'll even bring Rocko to meet your crew!!

[Scootergirl]

Just double-checking, 'cause I know they will ask...

I know Mowgli is neutered because he was a rescue dog. Is Bava? This girl will almost certainly have to be spayed either before she comes to you or immediately afterwars. You're cool with that, right?

Kali was spayed at six and a half months and she's been fine.  Our vet recommends between 6-9 months cause otherwise you chance them having the first heat which increases risks of later problems and problems during surgery.  Plus they're easier to move when they're smaller so they have less chance of injury being lifted on and off the table.  I want to see pics!!!!!!!!

Breed mowgli?... <Shudder!!> sorry Mel, that made me laugh out loud.  You have to know Mowgli to get it, he has a bad underbite, and we really don't know what the heck he is a mix of, he is the energizer bunny though, and never EVER stops looking for some kind of trouble to get into.  He's a sweet and very very smart fellow, he just drinks too much coffee in the morning.

I have just come in from trying to pressure wash the concrete pad under the deck (deck is raised) and he kept dashing at the water stream thinking he wanted to bite it. That probably would have cut his tongue if he had managed to do it.  I put him up on the deck to supervise until I finished, then he can inspect my work to make sure I did a decent job.  Sorry for my offtopic rambling, I just got tickled at what Melissa said.

Great! sounds like they'll have her spayed first and include that in the adoption fee. I'll know more on Tuesday when I get the pictures. I hope this works out!! I can't wait - and it's such a great excuse to finally meet some fellow BPO-ers face to face!!

[Scootergirl]

Here are the pictures. They are not that good, but she looks quite skinny. The "owner" is in a big rush to get her out of there, which isn't a big problem 'cause I'm so close, but the inn is quite full at the moment and I'm very afraid if she comes to stay here for any amount of time I will fall hopelessly in love and will have to get myself a newf immediately following my trip to take her to Brandon & Melissa in Alabama!

Anyway, still interested, guys? I put a call into her current owner to get more info. and will PM you that info. as well so you can call her and ask any questions you may have. This is being handled, more or less, as a private adoption between mutual parties so there has been no discussion of any adoption fee apart from the cost of the spay.

What a cute girl.  I hope this works out for her.  Why do people get dogs that they can't keep?  I just wonder what they were thinking.  I know people make mistakes or things come up, but still.... 

[brandon]

Absolutely! Melissa is fawning over.. Ohhh.. she is so cute, etc etc.. She does look a little skinny, but maybe it is just a growth phase, as she is definetly in that homely gangly stage.

Now who would do the spay, I would be interested in adding a gastopexy to the spay if we have it done, if they can do that at 6 months.  Only makes sense since they are in there already   If you talk to them would you find out if she's been socialized any with other dogs?  I can't imagine a dog-agressive 6-month old newf, but it makes it a lot easier to deal with if you know it beforehand

[Scootergirl]

I just talked to Tiffany. She is 100% housebroken!! has had all her shots (up to 6 mos.), and they had started her on puppy classes so she has been around other dogs with no problems. They had evacuated to Denver after Hurricane Katrina where they purchased her (I forgot to ask her name), but now her daughter is starting to act afraid of the dog, even though the puppy just lays there and is not aggressive at all. Sounds like the child has some post traumatic stress since moving back to New Orleans. It's not uncommon there.

Anyway, let me look at my schedule next week to see when I have a day off. I'm pretty sure I have Friday and Saturday off and maybe we can bring her to you. I think since this is a pretty open adoption you can have her spayed by your vet. They have her papers and pedigree, too.
