Reece, you and Marley look stunning together!! And I love her "come hither" eyes with her long luxuriant (sp?) ears!! What a beauty!
Jeremy is adorable!

He looks like he has the head of one dog and the body of another. I mean that in a good way

LOL!! He does look that way! What a neat observation!!
Aly, why do they keep returning him?

Lets see. I forgot the first people who adopted and returned him because I don't think I was working that day. The second guy was in his lower twenties who lived with his wife and mom. He returned Jeremy after a week saying that he was snappy. He thought the snappiness was due to fright but he couldn't deal with it. His owner release form from the first time he had come in said he did get snappy when pushed into doing things he doesn't want to do. The third people who adopted him was another young couple with another dog. They said the brother had come over the night they adopted him and was laying on the floor with Jeremy. Jeremy got really intimidated and growled at the guy. He got up to get a drink of water and when he came back, Jeremy lunged at him. They returned Jeremy in less than 24 hours.

Now after saying all that, we have never had ONE problem with him at the shelter. I am constantly touching him all over and gently bumping him around to test him. The clinic has not had one problem even when they were sticking needles in him. No male volunteers have ever had any problems either. I wanted to take him home to test him to see if it was any different in a home environment. It is so hard to believe this sweet dog could get snappy. Well actually sometimes it looks like he's snapping at you, but when he snaps towards you he'll just lick you.

Who knows. If it gets to the point where he can't be put back in adoption, I WILL take him home.
