A few months back, I posted about this dog. He had started peeing in the house. They agreed to try belly
bands. Apparently either they didn't help, or they didn't use them because the dog is again peeing in the
house. From what the owner told just now, they have had company for most of the last 2-3 weeks (with more
little kids) and the dog is at it again. She says she is to the point she doesn't care what happens to the dog,
even if it means being PTS.
So again, I am putting out this info:
Can anyone offer assistance for this guy, someone who is able to deal with behavioral problems?
Please let me know ASAP so I can put you in touch with her before she decides to have him PTS. He really
doesn't deserve that.

Been trying all day to find a foster home for this little man....Vinny....I
have called 5-6 potential foster homes, but all of them are full up right now.
I am waiting on a call for one other and will hopefully get more leads
tomorrow. I have at least convinced the owner to try to work with him in the
home until we can find a viable foster home for him rather than the
unacceptable alternative.
Owner has complained of him pee'ing in the home (under beds, in his crate, on
her bedpost), but she has continued to give him free reign of the entire
house. I made the suggestion of beginning to limit his space by having him
leashed to her all day for 2-3 days (a suggestion made to me by someone who
knows), then gradually increasing his space one room at a time, but
supervised, of course......his obviously sneaking around when she's not
looking.
A description of Vinny follows:
9 years old in May 1999
I will continue to work at this ...... leads anyone?

Hi Everybody:
Today Vinnie was picked up from his home and delivered to his new home. The
family that got him was very, very happy to get him. He will have two little
girls to play with and love him. The foster mom had written a long letter to
the new owners to let them know the particulars to Vinnie's care. It seemed
very hard for her to let him go, even crying all night. Think she almost
changed her mind, but she said she envisioned a happy home for him and decided
it was for the best. The family that got him was very anxious for him to be
delivered, as they called several times in the morning before he got there to
ensure that he was actually coming. Another one placed in a loving home!!!

8 year old male Atlanta area needs rescue
Click here for previous posts.
8 year old male, neutered B/R needs a foster home ASAP and then re-homed with no kids since they seem to
be the focus of the behavioral problems. He has not snapped, or bitten according to the owner. However, she
says he has also now started getting into things like trash and tearing up kleenex all over the place.
Thanks
Rie Shields

Vinny...Adopted!
Well, in case you forgot Vinny is the 24 pounder in Atlanta that we've been
tring to place for a few weeks now. Thanks to Lynn (Zehava1) for finding a co-
worker willing to put up a new fence and adopt him!
This guys wife and daughter are in the home and are so excited to get him,
Lynn and I will pick him up Sunday morning at his owner's (who has been
wonderful actually being patientent for us to find him a GOOD home) and
delivery him Sunday afternoon to his new home cross town.The owner wants to
make sure his kennel, toys, food, bed and all the other stuff goes with him so
he's not as tramitized over the ordeal.
Anyway, wanted to spread the great news and thanks to Lynn G for all she done.
John and Brutus (chewing on his Kong)
