Hellp, he needs a home

[anna_66]

I haven't heard back from her She was supposed to call me last night, but no call.
But on the bright side I do have 2 more people that thought they might be interested Geez, please let one of these homes be his forever home!

Oh & thanks for the heads up on the vet check and references!

Do you have an email or phone for them? Maybe they're just rushing around preparing?? HopeHope This just really has to work......... keep up the faith

I have an email for them, and already sent one.

I have another woman who lives in Manchester, Ohio inquiring about him. She says she's very interested. I asked for her vets #, or personal refrences, and if she could tell me a little about herself and maybe the hours she works. I feel like I was grilling her, but I want him to go to a good home.
Am I going about this in the right way? I just don't want to be kept hanging waiting for one to come through, if there is another home he could be going to.

I think you're doing great Anna. Keep up the good work

Hope this works out.

Hoping and praying Anna. I would certainly check out some ref.s, their vet, neighbor, etc. and ask some basic questions about their dog experience, their yard, (fenced, kennel, etc.) daily routine (left home alone most of day, for how long) But, if you don't get a quick response or if they "bristle" at your asking them some basic questions, move on, if you have another potential adopter. Most people who are truly sincere about adopting welcome such questions because they are pleased to know you care where/to whom the dog is going!! Please update when you can. I'm on pins and needles.

[anna_66]

I asked all those questions, but I think she may have thought it too much, oh well, her loss.
But on the other hand...the guy I had talked to said he might know of somone or if not, he might like to take Trader himself. When I sent him the pics he said, Trader looks like a dog he had lost (died) last year. So, if nothing else, he would like to take him. Guess we'll see what happens with this, one way or another, he's getting a home!!!!

Keep up the hard work for Trader, Anna. Sounds like you're going about it perfectly. The Vet checks and all the questions and references are supposed to help weed out the wrong ones! Stay with it and you'll find Trader the perfect owner.

I think he's got a home

It's neither one of the other 2 people I was telling you about

This lady just emailed me, wondering if he was still available. Well of course I said yes & it started from there! She lives with her husband (who is a truckdriver & takes their cocker with him sometimes ), and 2 sons (one is 18 & the other, 10), and of course a cocker spaniel, in Manchester, Ohio.
I got her vets name & #, and it all sounds great! He will have a big 4 acre farm to run & play on-I think he will be in heaven
They are goat farmers-and yes, I even checked them out on the web, and everything sounds kosher. She gave me all kinds of info, even some I didn't ask for, and said if I wanted more, she would be more than glad to give it to me!
She wanted me to meet her 1/2 way on Saturday morning, but I've asked her if she would be willing to come to Findley on Sunday, that way I don't have to make 2 trips. I'll be talking to her tonight I can't wait!

I was so excited I forgot to tell you...I took Huney over to meet Trader (make sure he wasn't dog aggressive) and OMG! He was sooooo happy. They played a while and then, well, you know what he wanted to do then

[tatsxxx11]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a person who WANTS this dog!!! GREAT work, Anna!! Wooo, hooo! MAKE SURE YOU TAKE PICS!! Feel free to tell the woman about all of us Pet Talkers who will stalk her mercilessly if she doesn't love him to pieces!! Yay, Tucker!

[Cincy'sMom]

Sounds like the right family has come along! yeah for Trader! Fingers and paws crossed this wroks out!

[anna_66]

Trader has a new forever home! I talked to Barb tonight (his new mommy)! I am sooooo excited! Thanks everyone, and expecially to Sandra for telling me to try Petfinders!

And guess what? For those of you going to the Findlay Dog Park on Sunday, you get to meet him & his new humans!! This is all so great And my friend Jennifer (the one with the huskies) is going to bathe & groom him so he looks all pretty for his new mommy!

I'm going to get him tomorrow afternoon & take him down to Jennifers and she will bring him back tomorrow evening. That means he's going to be spending Fri & Sat night with us
I don't know exactly how this is going to work out, thank goodness we have that kennel outside. Everyone will just have to take turns going in & out of the house. And I'm sure Angus will be sooo stressed by the time Sunday comes, him & dad will lay around, relax & watch nascar

I just wanted to let you know what happened and to thank each & every one of you for helping me, help him find a home
This is from Trader to all of you

[tatsxxx11]

Anna, I could feel your joy jumping from the screen! I'm SO happy for you and for that handsome dude, Trader!! Wow, a day of beauty awaits him!! I'll bet he'll gave a great time at Camp Anna, too! I wish I lived closer to visit with you all at the Findlay Dog Park Have a great time, all! We can't thank you enough for all of your hard work, dear Anna!! Yay, Trader's going "home!"

[micki76]

Anna thats the best news I've heard all week!!! Yay for Trader! Takes lots of pics for us

[Stenograsaurus]

Hooray for Trader and thank you, Anna, for everything you did to save his life. Hopefully his new owners can join. You'll have to tell her all about this place when you meet her Sunday.
