I have a family member who would like to give away their dog and I told them I would help them find a new owner.

He is an Australian Heeler, white with tan/black markings, neutered, LOVES babies and children, well trained, weighs about 80 lbs and is full grown. I am pretty sure he is only a couple of years old still a puppy. His name is Sobe.

They are giving him away because they have 3 kids, 1 baby, and another baby on the way and in short they just dont have the time to give Sobe anymore.

He is an excellent dog, very loving and he can play all day long. You can throw a ball or even a rock 1000x and he just keeps bringing it right back.

I can forward pics to whomever is interested.

Since he is a fairly large dog he does need to be excersied properly and really needs an active owner.

You might try seeing whether there are breed-specific rescue groups in the area--often they have rigorous screening processes and will make sure that the dog goes to a good home. I found this (http://www.acdrescueassociation.com/) when I did a search.

Good luck!

Oh god... I would foster this dog if I could. Honestly, it makes my blood boil every time I see people who get a dog and then breed and then decide the dog is disposable and not a member of the family. Please keep us updated -- there are dog-lovers here who can/will help you spread the word. Is there contact info for you/them?

they arent like that. he is very much a part of the family. he is my fiances brother...they grew up with dogs their whole lives, never got rid of one dog or put one to sleep. he is one 0f 7 brothers/sisters and we tried giving him to anyone in the whole family but every one of us already have 1-2 dogs and a lot of kids, just not enough room for another dog sadly. they never thought they would have to give him away, their house just isnt big enough, the mom lost her job, they have another baby on the way and they have to set priorities. trust me it isnt an easy decision for them.
