The wife and I took one of our grand daughters to see dogs at the county shelter today. I found one boy that struck me as special. He is an eight month old Sheprador. Before I could tell the wife I liked him, she told me what a great dog he was. That pretty much sealed it. We got him to a 'meet & greet pen' and were supplied with pieces of hot dogs. He was gentle mouthed, even with our grand daughter. Here he is. First is his mug shot from the county web page. (I think the same photographer takes pictures for drivers licenses.) Below that, pictures we took. Now he needs a name. ![[Linked Image]](http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk239/avmusician/Dogs/Sam09.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk239/avmusician/Dogs/Sam01.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk239/avmusician/Dogs/sam03.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk239/avmusician/Dogs/sam04.jpg)

Got one in my class that is the spitting image of him-also a rescue dog- and he is phenomenal�.

Looks like ol' Shep done found a good home.

Good for you Plinker! Looks like he's a happy boy.
Whatever you name him I'm sure he'll be ok with it.

Plinker,
Nice job buddy! Really like the last picture! Compared to the pound picture, you can see he's happy he found some good humans to adopt.
Good luck to all!

Good on you, looks like a great dog! In the last few months I've picked up a German Shorthair Pointer and an English Pointer from rescue shelters. Both great dogs. Previous owners just didn't know how to handle them.
