Trenton Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Free to the right loving home. Australian Border Collie (with a little bit of Blue Heeler) seeking new loving family. He (LEO) is a 3 1/2 yr old, de-sexed, fully vaccinated dog and extremely family/children friendly - he has grown up with his best mate, my now 6yr old son (and his older brother and sister).He is a large dog but obedient, trained, very-intelligent (a little bi-lingual; follows English commands but picked up the odd thai one) and wouldn't hurt a fly (his best dog mate in Thailand was a Chiwawa, which was a funny sight ), Although he has looked ready to pounce when someone he didn't really know was threating to the kids (which I think ideal). Don't want to part with him but must return to Australia and quarantine laws do not permit his return there. He is in Bangkok, but can travel for an introduction if required.

slipperylobster Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) I know how important it is for this dog to get a new home. I was left with a beautiful dog (Julie), who pretty much came with our rented home. The owners (across the street), had moved, and all the neighbors had known this dog for years. She is one of the nicest dogs I have ever had..very loving, gentle and protective, but now..very old. I am guessing 15 (calendar years). She looks like she has a lot of collie blood in her. (but long hair). Well...I just wanted to say, it is very nice to be given a trained, adult, family dog ... They become attached to the new owners in no time. Our Julie adores us...and will look deep into our eyes with affection that I have never seen before. As if she wants to tell us something. Good luck. We would be interested, but Julie has a few good years left. Edited April 2, 2016 by slipperylobster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupidfarang Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 when do you need to find a home for him by? I will be looking for a dog in July maybe a bit late by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenton Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 when do you need to find a home for him by? I will be looking for a dog in July maybe a bit late by then As soon as we can find him a good home. I personally have already left Thailand and am in Australia setting up for Family, my kids follow in a week and my wife, well, I guess she stays as long as it takes to find him a good home - and I hope that's not 3 months.

Farlangs that come to Thailand and get dogs without certainties that they will be here for the lifetime of their dogs is so very, very irresponsible. Every now and then I see similar posts crop up. craigslist is full of Farlangs trying to pass on their dogs for the same reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 No need of you to criticize the OP , if you read his first post it's impossible to bring the dog with them because of the strict regulations. Maybe he planned to stay in Thailand for many years , but he had to relocate back to Australia. The dog is a part of the family so I am pretty sure they tried to bring the dog with them first.

slipperylobster Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Dogs adapt well to new families...as long as they are well treated. Do not let others make you feel so guilty. I had to do it myself..a few times. However, I never purchase dogs or raise them from puppies. Mine were adopted..or just left with me. I care for them as long as I can. There is no problem in having a new owner...if I should move on. My dog is very affectionate and would become attached to the new owner...as yours will. So many dogs fpr adoption...it would be silly to go out and buy one. Find one that suits you. Some of us old guys don't want to train puppies. It's a ready made family.

Phai Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi Arjen, I wonder if your lovely dog is still available. I'm looking for an adult BC but i will be ready to adopt it in late May. (I'm in Bangkok) I'm really excited for the answer. Thank you. Phai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenton Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 To All, We had many kind offers, and are continuing to get more. Thankfully we have found Leo what we believe is a very good home where he will be loved and be able to give love back also. I am amazed at the responses we got and Thank everyone out there in the Expat community for your generosity are help. Thanks Trenton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
