Doggie Harmony Barker: Quest for Training/Trainers & A Great Guy Named Theo!

[Jamie Sprague]

---

Hi Folks,

 

As you may already know, Doggie Harmony is a big proponent of training for dogs. It helps keep many in their loving home and it is always our first suggestion when folks think they need to rehome their dog. After all, if you already love someone, it's easier to accept their issues. Imagine if you're a dog with issues trying to find a home with someone who doesn't already love him, right?

 

So, two scenarios here that need our special help -- Orsen, who just needs a 'scholarship' to stay out of trouble in his current home, and Archie, who has already begun working on his 'degree,' but needs someone patient to continue this good work. Unfortunately, training is not solving Archie's dislike for the new baby as quickly as everyone hoped. 

 

And, in case you wondered if we ever just have a dog that's great as is -- well, take a look at Theo. He loves everyone -- including cats! -- and is ready to roll on into a new home with a little help from Doggie Harmony and friends!

 

If we don't talk before, everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving! But, be careful not to feed those doggies too much turkey -- no bones and stick to the less greasy white meat. See 5 Turkey Tips for Thanksgiving!

Orsen's Plight: Andrea loves Orsen and really wants to keep him, but he's having some problems and she's not in a financial position to get him a trainer. She is unemployed and has 12 and 18 yr old sons that live with her as well as a daughter that visits with Andrea’s grandbaby.  Orsen has become increasingly aggressive toward her older son and has also snapped at the baby.
 
We would like to raise funds for Orsen to go to Angie Woods of US Canine (Atlanta’s Dog Whisperer), who successfully helps dogs with fear aggression and has agreed to work with Orsen. Andrea has already invested an incredible amount of money and time to save Orsen and is committed to keeping him, but she needs our help to do it.
 
Please consider donating via his Chip In Page (http://doggieharmony.chipin.com/orsen-to-keep-his-home) or a check to Doggie Harmony, P.O. Box 191362, Atlanta, GA 31119. Be sure to put “Orsen” in the memo. As always, your donations are tax deductible, as we are a 501c3/charity. 
 
More About Orsen: Andrea found Orsen in the middle of Windy Hill Rd in Smyrna when he was about 6 m/o. He had been run over by a car and was trying to hide under another car. His ribs were showing and his mouth was bloody. A friend offered to take him but instead of taking him home, she took him to the pound. Andrea went to get him as soon as she found out, but he'd become very ill with kennel cough. She nursed him through pneumonia and fractured ribs. Since then, she's house- and leash-trained him, but has noticed he loves some people, but growls at others.

Ruff Ruff!
My name is Theo...

 

 

 

 

 

Breed: Great Dane/Labrador Retriever Mix | Color:  Black - With White | Age: Young
Size:  Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg) | Sex:  Male

I am already neutered, housetrained, cratetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.

Theo's Story...Theo is a Great Dane/Lab mix. He weighs 62 lbs and is a stunningly beautiful boy. He is very friendly and rarely meets a stranger. He's good with kids, cats, other dogs and even groomers. He lives with and loves to play with kids and other dogs. Theo is just under a year and looks to have quite a bit of Great Dane/Lab in his mix, so exercise and basic training are his greatest needs right now. He would love to find a home with a fenced yard, an avid exerciser and/or kids/dogs as playmates. We currently have Theo in a foster home and he is doing great.  Please contact Liz for more information fidof...@spamarrest.com.

Archie's Story...Meet Archie, an adorable 6 y/o, 50 lb Dachshund/Basset mix who has been trained by and comes with lifetime training from Barkbusters! He's cute, smart and very loyal to his people. He also likes to play with other dogs! Did we mention he's house- and crate-trained? This great guy is looking for a new home that is more routine and predictable than one with a brand new baby. Hey, babies aren't for everyone, right? Archie is seeking a new home without any children and also one with folks that have experience with fearful dogs. Please send an email to ad...@doggieharmony.org if you're interested in learning more about Archie.
