DogPaddle Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 We may have found a forever home for Tyr. They have a huge fenced backyard, a dog-liking cat, have owned a large breed dog before, have kids that Tyr is crazy about, the Mom works very limited hours and her retired Mom lives with them. We have talked about Tyr's needs: eats at least 15lbs of dog food a week now and is only 5 months old, could use obedience to build confidence, takes some convincing to come when called, will eventually weigh around 100lbs, pulls on lead still, is quite submissive and must have soft training methods only, loves the snow. They are still positive they want him and have agreed if there are any problems they will return Tyr to us. We just have to contact the agency we do the fostering for and get final approval from them. We are going to miss him so much :cry: :cry: :cry: but I think he will be so much happier and will have a very good permanent home. :D Quote
Carolk9s Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Thats sounds great, wish all the best for Tyr and his (possible) new family. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 GOOD FOR TYR! Sorry for you.... :cry: Remember to please keep us updated on his progress! Quote
DogPaddle Posted January 9, 2003 Author Posted January 9, 2003 More on Tyr's adoption. The family has been to visit him once here. Tyr has been to their place to visit once. We took him to their house today with his teddy, his kong, his FOOD (Tyr loves his food), his collar and tags. We lent them our large crate (Tyr doesn't need crate much anymore but he goes there when he wants to relax so we think this will help the kids learn Tyr's limits) and the leash we have been using to try to teach heeling with so there is some consistancy but we will pick them up in 2-3 weeks. We have made them promise we could visit and if anything happens and they can't keep Tyr we take him back. He seemed very happy when we left - chasing around the T-wall with the kids. :cry: :-? :) ?

DogPaddle Posted January 10, 2003 Author Posted January 10, 2003 Snowdogs - Try is a GSD/Malamute Cross. The previouse owners claim he was a wolf hybrid or cross or whatever you want to call them but we think their full of it. He looks like a chunky GSD with unique facial markings. He was a little unsure of himself (prev. owners) but not fearful or we would not have sent him to a house with kids. He's just over 5 months and we think he's around 55lbs+. Oh and he likes to be let outside to nap in the snow. Mei-Mei - We do still miss Tyr, thanks for asking. The house is very quiet (comparatively anyway :lol: ) and you can walk most of the way through the main floor without tripping over a dog. I do feel good about where he is. He was a whole other dog out in their backyard - huge. Tore all over the place. He was grooming (that nibble they do with their front teeth to remove ticks?) the womans 5 yr old - not that they have ticks of course. He really seems to like the kids. And if it doesn't work out he'll be back with us. In that case I don't think we'll be able to see him go again though. Quote

yellowlabsrule Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 She's just chewing her cud now. She could be anywhere from a day off to a month off from having a calf. We need an other animals section! Quote
