FW:A little more on Rescue dog named "Texas" in Thunder Bay

Christopher Plum

Mon, Dec 31, 2012 3:01 AM

Texas was born November 7, 2011 so is just over a year old and like many
young male newfs a bit of a monkey doodle.

I arrived at my foster home on November 30, 2012 and they have been
'assessing' me, whatever that means. They say I'm a good boy and that most
of all what I need is exercise, a confident owner and someone to teach me
some manners.

I'm learning all sorts of things, like that people don't like it when I put
my mouth all over them, and that I have to behave and do what my foster mom
tells me to. I have lots of things to learn still and the Newf folks say I
need to get out and socialize and that I will make lots of progress with the
right family.

I'm cool with most other dogs that have good social skills. Right now I'm
hanging out with a bunch of other newfs and I get along well with them. I'm
learning quickly what I'm not allowed to do! I'd be happy to join a family
with another well mannered large dog for me to play with. I used to live
with a cat too and I think they're pretty great.

My ideal family will be active people who like to get out and do things -- I
do best when I am well exercised. Swimming, hiking, playing ball, playing
with other dogs, I love all of these things! The more activities I do the
better I feel!

I am a healthy boy, not too big, weighing around 110 lbs when I arrived at
Newf Friends but I need to bulk up they said -- something about not having
much muscle. They are feeding me good food and exercising me and I can
feel myself getting stronger and stronger all the time.

I am being fostered way up in Northern Ontario in some place called Thunder
Bay. It would be best if my new family was within a days drive so you could
pick me up in person. I'm not sure I'm ready to fly on a plane or be handed
off to a bunch of strangers on a transport.

My adoption donation will be $500 to Newf Friends, and my breeder will be
available for advice as well as the Newf Friends folks to help my new family
along. If you think you can give me the home that I'm looking for fill out
an application and one of the newf folks will give you a call.

How did he end up in foster care? Some people who go to our doggy day care look are on the look for newfs so I would like to send this to the club in case anyone has an interest but they will want to know why he ended up there. Thanks much! Funny - but this totally sounds like our Finn . . .. :) -----Original Message----- From: NewfLink [mailto:newflink-bounces@nsnewf.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Plum Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2012 9:02 PM To: 'Northstar Newfoundland Club' Subject: [NewfLink] FW:A little more on Rescue dog named "Texas" in Thunder Bay Texas was born November 7, 2011 so is just over a year old and like many young male newfs a bit of a monkey doodle.
