Well I had an owner surrender his dog to me. He wasn't giving him enough time, exercise or socialization that the dog needed. His name is Zeus. He's a great dog and will be very easy to re-home. He was loved and cared for, just not given quite enough quality time.
This is the second time I've had him, as when he was 11 months old, I had him in my house for almost 6 months while the owner and girlfriend dealt with a newborn baby.
The last time this happened, I ended up keeping the dog (RIP Cleo), but this time it's not an option. My boys love him now, because they are still puppies, but that will change in time.
I have a lead on a wonderful lady that rescues dogs (large, working breeds). She recently lost her red boy and is looking for another to keep her Sheppard company. The great thing is she trains all her dogs to be therapy dogs. Her Sheppard has his designation and her departed dobie did too. She thinks Zeus will be a good candidate too.
We met yesterday with her Sheppard and a current rescue she has. They had a great time at the dog park! I'm enclosing some pictures. We have an appointment to meet again this morning, so I'm off to the park again. This is Zeus

The boys all chomping on some bones.
Bleh60 and BIB, I though you might like to meet Max, her 11 month old rescue that she is currently evaluating. He was a sweetheart, and just kept out of the way of the crazy Dobermans.
