I'm hoping some dopers will have some ideas about this...
A friend of mine has a four year old Aussie who was returned to her (very long story) by a former owner. He badly needs a home where he will be the only male dog and where he will be loved, and appreciated, and played with and cuddled...
Brewster is a showdog. He's a lovely red tri aussie, with personality plus. He's a therapy dog. He has a wonderful temperament. He's outstanding with kids.
Currently, being back "home" in WI has meant that he was living with other dogs and the boys seem to all want to fight with him, all the time. They pick on him, he picks on them... it's just ugly.
It got very ugly yesterday when a full fight broke out in the yard - Brew wound up with five sets of stitches on his face :( and so his show season is over for this year until the hair grows back and the wounds heal.
Brew doesn't get along with other boys, but he gets along with everyone else. Yesterday's fight wasn't started by him (he wasn't even involved at first) but as tension rose, all the dogs decided it was time for a full out brawl.
Stuff like that happens, when you have a kennel... but Brew needs a home.
He's currently in Wisconsin, and could be shipped out of Chicago if the right home were found. Any help is welcome - his owner would like to avoid going through rescue or a shelter to place him! He deserves soooooo much more... :(
Brewster is my Zap's daddy.
