PSmitty Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) I don't have any more details than this, I'm just cross-posting from the rescue board. The topic there says "farm foreclosure", so I'm assuming that's why she ended up in the shelter. Hoping some networking among working folks might find her a new job. Contact is Corena Huffman of Highland Co. Humane Society email: info@highlandcountyhumanesociety.org Phone: 540.908.9152 "Rue" 6 yr FS, super high drive, trialed with Donald McCaig, brave, could herd sheep or cattle, can be female dog aggressive. Pics attached.I have known Corena for years. She recently started the Highland County Humane Society. I can recommend her, she does good evals and also said all these dogs are altered." ETA: I can't edit the title, but I'm not positive if she's in a shelter, or if the humane society operates out of foster homes (seems to be a small group). It also appears she's not in any danger, either. But I'm sure she would love to find another working home if possible.

Journey Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Has the breeder been contacted? How terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Karen, I have no idea. I would hope, but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Uh, i've worked and seen that dog. Someone should go get her. I'm going to let a couple of people know who might be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks, Robin! I was hoping someone here knew her or her former people and might be able to get the word out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I know her owner worked with rescue a few years ago when she got overwhelmed with all the dogs she'd collected up. This dog was pretty driven to work but not really a hard dog at all, just needed some guidance and someone to stay on top of her. Blue Ridge BC Rescue had several dogs from the owner that they rehomed.Her owner was here on the boards actually, not sure if she's still around or not.

Jim Kling Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Does anyone know how to reach Don McCaig? He surely would be interested to know about this. I tried to message him but the system wouldn't allow it for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm glad to see Robin posted. I, too, know Rue and have seen her at trials. She doesn't deserve to be in a shelter. I believe she may have been bred by the owner who gave her up, so contacting the breeder likely isn't an option. I can't believe she ended up in a the shelter and not in rescue. J.

juliepoudrier Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 And if she's there, then I have to wonder what happened to the other dogs the owner had. When she went through rescue before, she did not give up all her dogs and had more than Rue. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have forwarded the info to Blue Ridge BCR. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm sure someone else has contacted Donald but just in case not, I emailed him with the link to this page. I think he's generally only on here early in the day. Poor girl. Makes me wish I didn't already have a bitch who isn't overly friendly with other bitches. She makes me think of Julie's Pip.

Valhalla Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thank you for alerting me to this post Robin! The owner bought Rue from David Henry as a puppy. She is a McCloud daughter. Let me see what I can do as well. Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feas Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I believe i have trained one of her female pups for a friend. I even bred my Rock dog to the pup i trained for that friend and kept 2 of the pups and am training 3 more of the pups from the litter. If i recall properly she is sensitive but keen. I would take her in if she could be transported north near me in loudoun county. Waltfeasel at hotmail dot com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I just spoke to Corena and she has two good leads for Rue (both working homes) and Joe has been adopted by a working home! They also have a Pyr they are trying to find a home for...6 - 7 year old neutered male, great guardian, but aloof with people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy V Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I called and the dogs have not been relinquished yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Sorry to say that this is pretty much exactly what happened the last time this owner decided to give some of her dogs up to rescue. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
