Sheltie needs a home
Last week when I was walking around the grounds at the dog show in Torrance, I bumped into Diane Bassett. Diane, who works at Little Company of Mary here in town is a big-time dog lover. (I'll let you write your own joke about Diane's last name)
Anyway, I just got an e-mail from her and she did something very clever. She's been fostering a sheltie and has been writing about it on a blog. The dog is now ready for a new home and she's looking for someone to adopt it. Here's what she has to say about him.
Basically, he's a purebred male Sheltie who needed a calm foster home to get him settled and trained and ready for his new home. Mission accomplished, and now he's ready to adopt out and he needs exposure. So I created a blog where people can not only get the 411 on him, but they can also learn about clicker training, and about how to gently integrate a new dog into their home.
Here's the link to Diane's site
And here's a picture of Einstein. Pretty cute guy. The best part is Diane is promising to give my dog a cookie of he finds a home. Get on it!



Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
