Hello Everyone, I've just joined this list at the suggestion of a friend living in Istanbul. I'm not from the UK so I hope I'm not breaking any rules. I have been in Turkey for more than 18 years however and live a bit up the coast from you folks. But this isn't about me, it's about a dog..A lovely sweet affectionate pure bred pointer. I have four dogs currently and offered to foster him until the prospective owner bought a house here and moved to my village. He must have gotten 'lost' during partridge hunting season and was on the road for almost 2 months. The woman who asked me to rescue him decided she wasn't moving here and couldn't take the dog! We've fallen in love with him but really, five dogs is 3 dogs too many. I'm looking for a nice foreign family to give him to, free of charge. He's been neutered, has all of his shots and would make someone a perfectly wonderful companion. His name is Ori (short for Orion the Hunter), he's about 18 months old, white with some tan and has a cropped tail (which I find strange for a pointer but as a boxer owner, I'm not knowledgeable about hunting dog tails)
Preferably, Ori should go to a home without young kids because while he was roaming in town, the kids must have been cruel to him and he's rather nervous around them at first. I'd hate for him to hurt a child out of fear...he has made friends with my neighbors' grandchildren, but I just don't trust him yet. He's only been with us since January 1 when we brought home a 'bag of bones' and turned him into a champion! I have photos and will send them to interested parties.
Please contact me if you are interested or know of someone who might need a furry housemate...
