Need Foster / Adopter / Transport
Located El Paso, TX area
Male OES - 7 months-old - unaltered - not housebroken - not crate trained - puppyish - good with other dogs & people. Needs some training. Needs vet care for shots and microchip. TXOESR could use a transport to move puppy from El Paso to Dallas / Ft. Worth area for fosters.
Available for adoption.
Tim is a 60 lbs. 9-month-old male TXOESR pulled from the Denton, TX shelter just before New Years Eve. TXOESR had him neutered the day he was removed. Because TXOESR could not locate a foster, he was placed in a boarding facility for the next 3 days. Unfortunately, his care wasn’t the best.
This past weekend, Tim was moved to a better facility with trained dog handlers. Their feedback has given us some insight into his behaviors. He is an extremely anxious, very high energy puppy, has not had any positive training experiences and surely not given ongoing direction, correction, safety and love. He loves jumping, playing & nibbling (not biting).
The feedback from trainers has been positive as TXOESR continues to get regular feedback. The expectation for the next 4 weeks of board and train are: 2 weeks of working with onsite trainers on behaviors and socialization followed by 2 weeks training with TXOESR staff and potential foster / adopter.
This training is expensive but well worth it to rescue Tim. His future forever family will have free training for life for Tim as well as discounts on boarding Tim at their facility.

Female, Old English Sheepdog, Adult
Location: Killeen, TX
Pelusa is an owner surrender and is currently being fostered in the home with her owners. She is 4 years old. Her owners love Pelusa and Ash, but are a little over their head with 4 sheepdogs who are siblings. Keeping a sibling litter can cause a lot of challenges and she fights with her sister Ash. She gets along well with her brothers. Pelusa can be a nervous girl around people at first but warms up quickly. She is dog selective and we would recommend an only dog home or an experienced owner who has worked with dogs with suspected littermate syndrome. We are seeking a foster so we can adequately assess her temperament away from her siblings.

Norman was picked up as a stray in Parker county and taken to the Weatherford shelter. As soon as he showed up we knew we had to help him. Norman settled in nicely to his foster home. He enjoys the company of his OES foster brother. He is quite the snuggle bug and his foster mom has fallen for him. Norman is between 1-2 years of age. He needs to add some weight before he can be neutered but will be available for adoption soon.

Pumpkin is a recent owner surrender because her family could no longer care for her. She is about 8 years old with no health issues. She is great with kids. She enjoys going for walks and playing fetch, but is just as content snuggling on the sofa for a movie. She was raised around other dogs, but is a little unsure of the male sheepadoodle in her foster home. This could be that she is still adjusting to all the changes.

Location: Austin
Gabby is one of 6 Old English Sheepdog females surrendered to TXOESR by a backyard breeder in east Texas who was using them to breed sheepadoodles. Gabby is a loving, calm, sweet and cuddly girl. Some of her favorite hobbies include car rides, walks, getting brushed, and trying to hold hands with humans (she would probably hold hands all day if she could.) Gabby would do best in a home where someone is home most of the day as she craves human interaction and has separation anxiety. She has a prey drive so not birds or cats.

Hazel is brand new to the rescue and is being fostered in Mckinney, TX. She gets along well with her foster sisters who are both TXOESR alum. Hazel came into the rescue due to no fault of her own. Her previous owners no longer had time for her due to their family commitments. She loves other dogs and people. She has not been tested with young children, but she loves the teenagers in her home and has bonded quickly. She would make a great companion for any home who can shower her with attention.

Female, Old English Sheepdog/Toy Poodle Mix (?), Young adult
Location: Fort Worth, TX
Roxy is about two years old, and we believe she is a sheepdog mix. Roxy is on the smaller side and weighs about 30 pounds. She could gain a little bit, but she is healthy as is according to our vet. If you like cats, she would be the perfect dog for you. Roxy has the most striking blue eyes and has settled in well with her foster mom’s pack. She tends to follow her foster sister (Mini Aussie) around, and she takes her lead. If you like cats, she would be the perfect dog for you. Like many dogs who come from hoarding situations, she is unfamiliar with human touch and takes a while to learn trust. However, when that trust is earned, she will follow you around and be at your side. Roxy needs a special home who understands emotionally scarred animals and has the patience to let her trust on her own. She will do best in a quieter home with one or more dog companions. She has learned trust through observing other dogs.

Location: Austin, TX
Archie is a sweet 2-year-old neutered OES male. House trained, crate trained, good on leash, loves riding in cars, playing with balls and enjoying puppuccino! He is a cuddler and has plenty of love to share. He is fully vaccinated & micro-chipped.
He is differently-abled as he is deaf (so, changing his name is a breeze!). He is a little quirky in that he is protective of his people. He is good with dog-friendly cats.
TXOESR is looking for a special, permanent home.
He would be a great companion for an experienced OES single Lady or single Man (or have owned breeds like Bouviers, German Shepherds, Briards, etc…).
No kids, no dogs.
Texas OES Rescue is committed to work with the adopters and trainers to ensure a great forever life for Archie as grows into the perfect family member.
