Vince – 2-3 year old male Old English Sheepdog
Gorgeous Vince is a 2 -3 year old, Old English Sheepdog who hasn’t had the best start in life. Vince spent the first few years of his life as a family pet in Ireland until he bit the postman. After this he was chained up on the front lawn where people would throw things at him, shout at him and we are told by neighbors..kick him. Vince was taken in my a caring person in Ireland and immediately took him to the vets to find he had a massive ear infection and a terrible skin complaint which resulted in the vets clipping his matted coat. Underneath they found a thick piece of wood embedded in his side which thankfully was removed. Sadly his rescuer couldn’t keep him long term due to her own illness but she alerted us to his plight and we couldn’t not help.
Vince has been a pleasure to watch thrive and learn to trust again with us. Gone in the terrified grumbling dog who arrived here 6 months ago. Vince now cannot wait to jump up and kiss you and it’s impossible to walk past his kennel without stopping to give him cuddle! He has not show any signs of aggression with people here whatsoever. We can only speculate, but maybe his skin and ear infection, coupled with a splinter of wood embedded in his side caused him to bite the postman. Sadly we will never know for sure…
Vince has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
Vince has made some female doggy friends within the sanctuary, but is not good with small dogs and other male dogs so he will need a home prepared to work on this. We have a resident behaviorist who will be able to work on any issues with the new home should they arise.
I have grown so very emotionally attached to Vince and am so proud of how far he has come in such a short space of time. Seeing Vince settled in his new home will be the best start of 2012 that I could wish for. Vince could potentially live with a medium to large female dog. Given how badly he has been treated in the past we are looking only for a home without children, and without cats.
We can’t think of a better start to the year than for Vince to find the forever home he has been patiently waiting for. Please make 2012 the year that Vince’s future changes for the better.
