Pictures of Sampson-
What a handsome sheepie-boy!

January
2007: $100.00 to be used toward neutering an Old English Sheepdog.
Many times sheepies end up abandoned, turned in to shelters
or pounds or rescue (OES rescue when they're truly
fortunate) simply because the owners never considered having
them spayed or neutered. This boy will be neutered and
then a new home will be found for him. An Indiana OES
rescue is assisting.
Sampson Rescue Update:
From his rescuer:
"This is Sampson. He was transported by rescue a
whopping 775 miles! He's a 2 yr. old purebred OES from
northwestern Indiana. Sampson innocently "herded" the
chickens on his owner's property, covering them with saliva
and leaving them to freeze to death. He was sold through
the local newspaper to a family who promptly returned him
because he "marked his territory" on their carpeting.
Frustrated, the owners tied him in a small pen in the barn
and contacted OES Rescue. Sammy was promptly neutered and
settled into foster care until the most perfect home was
located. Today Sampson lives in the lap of luxury
with experienced OES parents, an 8 yr. old OES brother and
no poultry." |

2007: $100.00 for a vet check of an Old English Sheepdog.
This sheepie-boy has been in living outdoors for the past 2
years. He's going to be coming into rescue soon.
Pictures of Bear... upon arrival and after being shaved
down. Update:
This rescue story did not end the way we all had hoped.
The rescue knew going in that he would be a tough case.
Bear was simply too damaged to be placed in a new home...
after several bites while in rescue in just a short time,
the decision was made to end his suffering. We have
no regrets in having assisted Bear so he could have this one
last chance. If
you would like to read his rescue report and see his before
and after pictures during his brief time in rescue,

January
2007: $100.00 to an Old English Sheepdog rescue.
Steve was scheduled to be euthanized at the dog pound but
got second chance when an Ohio Humane Society saved him.
His coat and skin were in bad condition but he was really
starting to look good. It had been over a month and he
hadn't found his home yet so an OES rescue is helping him
out. Funds went to help defray the cost of getting him
into rescue.
Update: Steve with the beautiful blue eyes is
being called Stevie Wonderdog. He's with his
temporary foster family in Indiana now awaiting
transport to the OES rescue that is assisting him.
The picture on the right is after he had his tubby,
was dried, then clipped down to an even length.
Please consider donating
to the OES rescues that assist these marvelous
companions. It allows them to help more
dogs like Steve find new families to love them. |

September 2006: $100.00 for the grooming and vet check for a
deaf Old English Sheepdog.
This sweet faced 5 1/2 year old sheepie-girl was in trouble so
Guardian Angels Humane Society
in Illinois came to her rescue. They cleaned her all up, got
her checked out by a vet and she's found a family to
love her. If anyone is
considering adopting a deaf dog, here are some wonderful links that
might assist you in communicating with your new companion...
-
The Deaf Dog Education Action Fund
http://www.deafdogs.org
-
The book "Living With
A Deaf Dog" by Susan Cope-Becker.

The ASL University website shows you how
to sign... you can also make up your own signs
in order to communicate commands. Here's an
example of "night-night" that you can use for bedtime or
kennel up if you use a crate
http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/n/night.htm Hearing dogs also benefit from
hand signals... our own dogs will often follow hand signals better
than verbal commands. It just takes love,
patience, repetition and consistency.
Special
dogs make extra special companions. |

July 2006: $80.00 for the grooming of an Old English
Sheepdog.
It was said this
sheepie-boy had been adopted at about 6 months
of age from an Animal Control with the promise
he would be neutered. A year later, he's
still intact and had been spending his life in a
small kennel out in the backyard. He'd only been
groomed once since being adopted and his coat
was a terribly matted.
K-9 Rescue League
in Georgia is getting this boy ready for a new
and better life. He is scheduled to be
neutered, heartworm tested and brought up to
date on all shots. At the time of writing,
he's awaiting his new family. |

 April 2006: $50.00
for grooming an Old English Sheepdog at a West Virginia
animal shelter.
Sweet Olivia found herself at a shelter after chasing the
chickens. It was sad that despite being only a 1 1/2
year old she had already had one litter of pups. The shelter
manager said that she is such a nice dog for not having any
attention given to her. She was also thin and terribly
dirty/matted...
"...It took 3
baths to get all the red clay mud off of her. Boy was
she very stinky. She never moved at all and seem to know
that this was going to make her feel so much better.
After she was done she ran around like a puppy..."
We have learned that she is now in a loving foster home
getting her ready for an eventual forever home. A
big thanks to Sandy and Tammy for taking a special
interest in this sheepie girl!
News From The Rescue-
I'm settling in with my new foster mama... she too says I'm
a very sweet sheepie-girl. I've been all shaved down
and I had a visit with the vet. They found a wood splinter
in the roof of my mouth that had penetrated through to my
nasal cavity... despite this, I've been so very good.
I'm to be spayed soon.
Update!
I've been adopted by a wonderful family! And so a new
life begins... |

January 2006: $100.00 toward medical care for Paddington.
This sweet little boy is an Old English Sheepdog and
Standard Poodle mix. He was having difficulty
walking because of muscle atrophy and was going to be
euthanized. A very special lady came to his aid... she would
determine if he could be saved or if euthanasia would be the
kindest thing. Tests were done and it was determined that he
was suffering from severe malnutrition and bilateral hip dysplasia. While in her
care, Paddy has gained good muscle mass and will be going up
for adoption soon.
Feb. 2006
Update: Paddington, now known as Bear, has been adopted
by a wonderful family. They have consulted with an
orthopedic surgeon and he is scheduled for JPS surgery to
correct his hip dysplasia. He has a very bright future!
Thanks to his new family for bringing this precious pup into
their lives! |
