Had another idea!
Do you have "Foster homes" where you live? I know someone for a foster home would take great care of Orin!
We have foster homes here and they are advertised in the paper.
The dog is placed in a "foster home" and everything is paid for..the food, vet visits, toys.
Don't know if that would maybe be hard on Orin since he is such an old pup but wouldn't hurt to give it a try!
What about calling churches, Senior centers, etc, to see if they know someone. Many older folks don't want to get a pet for fear of outliving it, but a "senior boy" like Orin would be perfect!
It is 2:15pm Saturday.......is there any word about Orin? Did we find him a home? Did we buy time?
I had to go out so I have been off the computer for awhile!
Hi there. MY name is Chrissay and I run SOAR *Shepherds and Others Animal Rescue* I am located in San Bernardino. About an hour north of Palm Springs. I heard about Orin from a friend who saw his post on Petfinder, and then I was directed here. If you could get Orin transported to us we currently have room to take him in. All dogs stay in foster homes until they are adopted. If he came up here he'd be staying with me. Please e-mail me as soon as you can, because as I heard he doesn't have much time!!!! Thank you and best of luck.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! What wonderful news!!!! You've probably already done it, but I just emailed John and Robyn! Our prayers have been answered!!!:) Thank you SO much Chrissy! You're our hero!And it might be asking just too much, but, if you click on the thread just below this one, "2 foster dogs need homes" there is a beautiful doggie named Shortnen, in Los Gatos Calif. in deperate need of home.:( If your group can't take him in, maybe you know of another group that can? Thanks!
OMG!!!!!!!!! Does that mean Orin has been saved? Thank God! I have been thinking of him and Robyn all day!!!!!!
Thank you Chrissay!!!!!! :D :)
Thank you so very much, Chrissay for saving Orin. You are an angel!!
What wonderful news! Keep us up-dated!!
Hi Robyn. I noticed you were on Pet Talk a bit ago. Was hoping to read a happy response from you on your thread, but then you left. Did you contact Chrissay?? We've all become very attached to Orin and would love to know that he's on his way to his foster home! Please give us an update when you can:)
Any news on Orin yet?? Did you contact Chrissay? You can save this dog's life. Update, please!!
I really, really, really hate to say this, but I have a sickening feeling that something is amiss with this thread, with Robyn, with the whole saga. Orin has a foster home to go to, Robyn has been on this thread reading twice now in the past hour or two, but no response!!! We here at Pet Talk are very loving, compassionate and caring people who, when the call goes out, will do everything possible to help an animal, a guardian in need. So many people jumped in to come to your aid Robyn. Last night when I read Chrissay's response, I nearly jumped out of my seat with happiness. I cannot, for the life of me, understand WHY, if you are so desperate to re-home Orin, if you have read the most recent responses here, you have not responded with some kind of answer as to Orin's fate. And John....what happened to John??? I emailed and PM'd "you" (same person??) both last night and early this morning with the good news. No response. John declared his reaffirmation in the goodness of humans and especially dog people, when so many jumped to your aid so quickly. Please, could you kindly PLEASE, just drop us a line and tell us whatever became of the beautiful Orin??? Dare I ask you if we should also inquire as to the well being and whereabouts of Shortnen? How peculiar that Bugmom, Shortnen's guardian has somehow also dropped off the radar. Chrissay was hoping for a response from her as well. Because of our pleadings, Chrissay was doing her best to help Shortnen as well as Orin. Like I did with you, I also PM'd and emailed Bugmom; no response. Very coincidental. Also just a coincidence that both needed rehoming due to "moves", that the "DEAD-lines" for Orin and Shortnen were BOTH Sept. 3rd?? Both dogs from S. Calif.?? I am usuallly a very positive person, not prone to paranoia, and do wish to believe in the sincerity and goodness of all people, especially animal people. Please reaffirm that belief and post a response. Most of all, I pray that Orin is safe and well. Honestly, ALL that I am really concerned about is the well being of these innocent dogs. Respecfully, Sandra
Bravo, Sandra!! You said exactly what I've been thinking!! Is there something amiss here??? ORIN HAS A PLACE TO GO. Robyn have you contacted Chrissay?? Robyn/John/Bug??? Where are you? This is a life or death situation. I hope we are not being toyed with.... RESCUE IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS!! LIVES ARE AT STAKE! Robyn? Answer us please.
I haven't been on during the holidays, and perhaps that is the case with John and Bugmom. Sandra, I too, have a very weird feeling about this. I thought Robyn said she would give Orin a few more days till she let him go. Perhaps she has been away from the holidays.
I am praying with all my heart that Orin is OK. I will keep thinking about him and check in the morning to see how this matter is evolving. My offer still stands to help pay for his transport.
I'm sorry about not logging in more but I have to have access to my phone for my business and I don't have DSL. I've contacted everyone who was interested in taking Orin and until about 10 min ago, no one had returned my calls or Emails. Until 11pm last night I still thought that John was going to be able to foster Orin until the exact right home came along. That has changed and he is dealing with severe family problems. I finally spoke with Chrissay and it looks as if that's where he will go. Please believe me when I tell you this WAS NOT A HOAX...!!!! I do appreciate the fact that so many have taken an interest in this LOVEY GUY..!!!! As far as the time frame goes....all I can say is I was given until the 31st. But since my landlord was gong away until Tues. I figured I could stretch a little more time out for Orin's sake. But this is definitely the last day..!! I do hope Shortnen is as lucky as Orrie....Bless you all for your hard work in helping out this special old guy....
So, hold on! Orin is going to Chrissy? That is great news! When?
Please let us know how the transport goes :)
Robyn, you had us all worried sick about Orin. Thanks for the update.
Hi, Chrissay ~
Thanks for offering to help Orin!!
We couldn't get your Link (above) to bring up your site...
Try this Link to *SOAR* ~
*SOAR* Home Page...
And Chrissay - Have YOU heard from Robyn, directly, yet?
Please keep us posted on the Rescue Plans!
Miz Chrissay, from the *SOAR* Rescue Group, just e-mailed this to Dad about Orin...
Hi Phred!
I have been able to touch base with Robyn, and we have transport arranged from a wonderful man who lives in Escondido. He, I believe, will be bringing Orin down tonight. Unfortunately I can't take Orin until tomorrow, due to currently having NO ROOM, but tonight or tomorrow morning three dogs are going to their forever homes. So a very good friend of mine and fellow rescuer will be taking Orin for 24 hours (tonight and part of tomorrow) until I get everything arranged. So as of now everything looks good!! I'll keep you updated. Right now I just need to get a hold of John and give him the directions. :)
Thanks for all your concern! :)

Chrissay, you are an angel!! :D
Yeah for Chrissy!!! I tried to contact both John and the owner, but to no avail. I was willing to take Orin, but alas...
I'm so glad he was saved. You're my heroine Chrissy!!
Hi everyone!!! Oh gosh you people are wonderful!! So concerned and soo helpful. I really want to apologize to all of you for not posting here and all. I'm really new to this site (haha as you all know!) and I'm still trying to figure it all out! So I'm doing my best hehe...
Well this is how it goes, Orin is coming in early tomorrow morning. John's bringing him up to me. Right now I'm just trying to get a hold of John to see what time will work! I believe he's staying the night in Palm Desert and then driving up to me tomorrow morning.. Tried callin his cell but didn't get through. BUT he left a message saying he was leaving. So I'm sure everything will work out fine.
When I get Mr. Orin I'll post right away and let you all know how everything is going! I'll even post a picture or two =). I'll keep you all updated during Orin's whole stay with us from start to finish. You all are so wonderful to care and help out so much!!!
Thank you..... I'm glad I'm able to help!
Take care and I'll be posting soon!!
Well I've been crying all morning....but the worst is over....Orin is in the loving care of Chrissay...!!! I've just contacted her and John just called,so I know Orrie will be well taken care of until the right home can be found for him. I'm so grateful that everyone came together to allow this old guy to do what he does best, give love,for a while longer.Thank you all again.!!!! You are all the best...!!!!:)
Hi Everyone,
Sorry for not posting sooner. As you know Orin is ok. I dropped Orin off to Chrissay early this week. I cannot express in words how impressed I am with Chrissay.
When I got to Chrissay's home I was greeeted by the most beautiful, blue eyed girl. When I first met Chrissay I almost asked for mom. I was blown away at how young she is. Chrissay is only 16 years old!!!!
This is one teenager that all other teenagers should look up to. While most other teenagers are concerned with who's going to take them to the mall, this teenager has established her own non-profit organization, does what she loves to do and provide a service that is invaluable.
I cannot express in words how impressed I am with this young lady. This is one girl who is definately going places in life.
If everyone reading this, who has kept up on Orin's adventure could take a quick moment to write the editor of the LA Times and let them know what Chrissay is doing, I would greatly appreciate it. The email address for the editor or the Los Angeles Times is [email protected]
This young lady needs to be rewarded for what she is doing. Which reminds me, Chrissay is not alone in her cause. If possible, please dontate $5, $10, $20 or as much as you can to Chrissay or your local dog rescue. Chrissay and others like her work with minimal budgets. If there is anything you can do to help, I'm sure that it will go to a good cause.
I'd like to personaly thank Chrissay for taking Orin and for the incredible work she's done and continues to do. To Robyn for not giving up and allowing me to help find Orin a home. You could only imagine how hard this must have been for Robyn to see her baby boy go. And to all of you who have posted your heartfelt concerns. All of you have restored my faith in humanity!
Before I dropped Orin off I asked Chrissay if I could take a picture for all of you to see.
Again, thanks for being the best group of people I've had the honor of knowing.
Sincerely,
John
Chrissay with Orin ~

And to you John,
You likewise done an excellent job in saving Orin's life.... Thanks to you as well!! ;) ;)
Hi Everyone!
Orin is doing GREAT. He's finally adjusted. He was really shy at first, but he's doing GREAT now. He's such a sweet heart. I was sitting outside with him a little earlier. Here's a couple more pictures of the doll.
John, oh what you wrote was just so sweet. I can't express how nice that was. Thank you so much for all the kind things you said.
Orin's a great dog. If it wasn't for all of you he wouldn't have been saved.
He does great with the other dogs.. ha we have 13 here right now!! He only comes into contact with three of the other dogs, and he gets along great with them. He's a darling boy. Such a sweet heart. A real lovey guy.
Thank you again... Orin goes to the Vet on Monday to be checked over. I'll let you all know how everything goes for the sweetie.
Take care
Orin is such a great looking dog. And you are one wonderful gal for all that you have done.
What a handsome boy Orin is! Chrissy, thanks for the update. We are all very grateful for your efforts.
