Guest Anonymous Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 My brother acquired a puppy German Shepard who is 8 1/2 weeks old, yes this is his first dog. The mother of Rosco was rescued by the women my brother acquired her from, she did not do a background check or bother to come to our house and meet everyone. That being said I am in love with the dog and I know that he would be a good dog, but I do not think my brother is able to give him the proper attention and love he deserves. He is gone 3 days out of the week for school, he was just recently laid off and is looking for a new job to make car payments, cell phones, etc. which means more days away from Rosco. Now I would love to more that take care of Rosco, but I to do not have many days available, 2 at the most. My parents love him as well, but again my dad is gone from 6-9 and my mom works 5 days out of the week. Simply stated there would be no one home most of the time to care for Rosco. My brother, well he is not the most respnsible person, he doesn't manage money very well and his room is a complete mess, but he is nice, smart and in love with Rosco. As much as I love my brother, that is what my assestment of him. He is a good judge of character, but really hard headed. I know it will be hard to say good bye if that day should come, but I love the dog and do not want to see him left alone all day long with no one to play with or socialize with. So can anyone out there help me out and give me some advice. I know I will cry if we ever give Rosco to another family, but I just can't help tear up when I realise what a much better life he could have. Now I will not just give him away to anyone I will make sure to give him to a very loving family. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 This was posted by me. We have had the dog for 3 days now, we've all grown attached to him but I told my parents that Rosco maybe be better off with a new family, they agreed. I would appreciate your inout. I do not know why my brother got a dog, he wanted one for some time, but I think it was for the wrong reasons, I may be wrong though. Anyone know of a good place for Rosco in the Southern California, Riverside region? 8 1/2 weeks German Shepard Rosco Quote

My dad works from 6-9 so when he gets home he is tired. My mom works the night shift so during the day she os asleep. I go to school and work during the day. In all honesty no one is realy home.

StarFox Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Well I do have some questions. Is the dog up to date on all his vaccinations? Does he get enough exersize when your brother comes home? Is he getting enough love an attention from everyone in the family? Is the dog being socalize properly? Is the dog being taught commands (i.e-Sit, Stay, Come)? If you have answered no to all the questions I think re homing him would be a good idea. If there are some questions that you have awsered no too then maybe you can work out something with your brother and parents so the dog will have the best quality of life possible.
