Need a medical foster for this boy. He had orthopedic surgery a week ago. His current foster is having to go out of town on a business trip. If we can at least get a foster while she is out of town for the next couple weeks thatd be awesome. She can take him back after ahe gets back if needed. He is calm, ok with the cat, gets along with other dogs, needs leash walked ....minimal stairs. Please message us if you are close to the Columbia/Lexington area and can foster starting Wednesday (Oct 28th).

WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED SHEPHERD FOSTER TO HELP US SAVE OX!! You need to understand the breed, be able to work with him and teach him to respect boundaries. If you are an experienced GSD person, Ox needs you to help us save him!! Tuesday is not far away!!

🚨💔OX D1ES TUESDAY because people keep dumping their dogs and the county shelter he is in NEED SPACE, EMPTY KENNELS ASAP. They are FULL💔🚨

VIDEOS ARE IN COMMITMENTS!!

This big strong LOVING dog OX was once an adorable, cute little puppy that someone thought they wanted until he grew up and they realized they didn’t!

DON’T GET A LARGE WORKING BREED DOG AS A PUPPY IF YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO SPEND WITH THEM AND TRAIN THEM ! THEY GROW UP!

I ADORE Ox! He doesn’t deserve to die because people FAILED HIM! This is a GREAT DOG with so much POTENTIAL! SO LOVING! He wants to please. He just wants attention, but he has to learn how to appropriately ask for it. He is out if the gate wild but is learning quickly to keep feet in the ground.

HE NEEDS AN EXPERIENCED HANDLER THAT WILL TRAIN AND SET BOUNDARIES. But he also needs love, and a place to run and burn off energy!

HE HAS SO MUCH TO GIVE! PLEASE HELP US SAVE HIM!
