Jo Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi,We are looking for a good home (Paris area) for our male German Shepherd, Val. We are moving, and unfortunately we have just found out it is impossible to take him with us.He is a beautiful 7-year old purebed German Shepherd (came with us from the States), black-and-tan color. He is well-trained, affectionate with his family, good with kids, and used to either apartment or house living. He's in very good health (including X-rayed for displasia and his hips & elbows are excellent). Loves balls & going on long walks.He is vaccinated, has an electronic ID and a up-to-date European pet passport.Any ideas? We need to find him a loving home asap.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megan le Fey Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 We are just about to leave for Paris to collect Val, the GSD. The owners have the movers in today so poor old thing will be a bit stressed I think but I am sure he will settle OK. He has already been officially declared an honorary Great Dane on my favourite Great Dane forum.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Megan - I did read your post about the loss of your Dane and was going to reply that you can find dogs with passports on this Forum but thought that it was a bit insensitive. Last autumn, we rescued a passported dog from this Forum and he is sitting at my feet as I type.The first week or so is always difficult for a dog to adjust, especially if they are coming from a loving home. So good luck with the sleepless nights etc. Due to your circumstances, you yourself need a lot of tender loving care and I am sure that Val will help, once he has settled. Let us know how you get on.

Megan le Fey Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hallo everyone,We're back, all three of us, safe & sound but I am knac****d. We all three slept last night in the smallest double hotel room I have ever seen and it was sooooo hot with not even a fan let alone AC. Poor old Val, who has a really thick coat, just couldn't sleep and huffed and puffed all night. I took him out walking the streets of Saint Cloud 4 times in the middle of the night but eventually, around 4 a.m. we all got some sleep but were on our way home at about 7.30 to miss the worst of the traffic. Unfortunately, the passport turned out to be pretty much of a non-starter, no blood test etc. so a lot of work coming to sort that out but from the moment I met him I was his and no way was I leaving without him.[:D] As well as being a real good-looker, he is nicely trained, has beautiful manners and is indeed a lovely and loving boy, though I have been warned that he is an escape artist and will open any unlocked gate or door and not good with cats. I think Utopie would be pleased.[IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h15/miggimeggi/Vals%20early%20days/IMGP1957.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h15/miggimeggi/Vals%20early%20days/IMGP1964.jpg[/IMG]Just may put my head down for an hour before I start on dinner.

Christine Animal Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 So you drove all the way finally Anne. Some very lucky ex-owners and one very lucky dog. Well done.Yes, how do you always get your dogs to do these model poses, even on the first day?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed a nuisance about the passport but Jo is from the USA and a blood test is not required to enter there and I have just found out that it is not required for the rest of Europe either, just the UK, so I guess it was a misunderstanding. I am just going to have to get onto it really quickly to be sure it is sorted in the best possible time 'cause if he ain't going, I ain't going either.[:D]PS This is all Dog's fault for suggesting that I keep the leftover dog food and get a dog instead.[:D] [:D]It made me think.

valB Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 What a very proud looking boy. You are so lucky, he is a magnificent looking dog. Yes, well done Dog , you did a good job planting the seed into Anne's mind and I am sure she will be eternally thankful for that. We are down to one dog now and OH is still saying No More Dogs but watch this space. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
