Home needed for a dog.....again
Discussion
We've got another dog needing a home, a very friendly 13month old collie called Ben
He's very friendly with people and kids, and seems comfortable with other dogs. The reason that he needs a home is that he is typically hyper as a collie, and won't return if he either is let off the lead or escapes, which his present owner can no longer deal with. He was taken on by her as a puppy when the farmerr who bred him wanted him put to sleep as he appeared blind, although this has now completely resolved.
Anyone who's interested, please email me, but bear in mind that the problems I've mentioned, thanks for any help.

If I was allowed to have a dog in my rented house I would pick him up tomorrow!! My parents went through similar problems with their boxer, very hyper, chews everything and fights for freedom harder than mel gibson. He's still a pain in the arse for chewing things but is alot better on the lead thanks to abit of time and patience.

Have you asked Tokoloshe 
Ironically this post was thread was parked right above his for a while. I'm not excusing the request for rehoming, it is sad and disappointing, I'm trying to arrange a better life for the dog who doesn't want to be an indoor rug, it was against my recommendation that the pup was taken originally, but he has turned out to be too much of a handful for the owner, I think that in a different situation he should be much happier.
Good luck Thevet. My work has just taken on an 11yr old jrt (O' died) the girls have tried to persuade me to have him (my parents took on the last elderly rescue dog we had!) but not going to happen, what with a 7wk old newborn to look after!! I already have 1 dog (who'd actually love a doggy companion) and 3 cats...they'd not be so keen.
He's a great looking dog and I'm sure has loads of potential.

Something tells me volunteering for another one would leave me in lots of trouble!
Mind you Collies are usually trainable unlike Beagles, who seem to be able to block out sounds when escaping!
Going well is it? Hope you're still smiling though.Mind you Collies are usually trainable unlike Beagles, who seem to be able to block out sounds when escaping!
For anyone thinking about taking on this dog the OP offers excellent after care being there to answer questions etc, and regularly seeks updates.

I'm assuming the dog's in Scotland as per your profile?
If so a bit far to see if he would get on with my current Collie
Good luck.
Yes I'm in scotland but if you are vaguely suited and interested, I would be happy to take a run to see if there's hope, however, send me an email if you are serious.If so a bit far to see if he would get on with my current Collie
Good luck.
