With each donation of $20 or more to COESR, we will send you a hand cast, hand painted Christmas Old English Sheepdog ornament as our thanks for your help. Indicate ornament #3 or #4 so we know which one to send.  Note that the simulated stone on ornament #4 will vary in color (red, green or clear).  Supplies are limited and this is the first time these designs have ever been offered.  ©2009 J.

Who We Are

We started doing rescue years ago when we lost our first Old English Sheepdog Mandy. She was my inspiration and is my angel. We strive to find each pup that comes here the perfect home. Some have been abused or neglected... some too big or too wild, others old and sick. We often don't know their past but we sure can promise them a better future!

Adopting a Friend
We have an adoption fee that includes all vaccines, spay/neuter and heartworm testing. This fee is determined on a case by case basis. If a dog tests positive for heartworms, we will treat the dog before he/she is adopted.  IMPORTANT: Carolina's OES
Rescue will not ship dogs.


 
Why we must have your completed Adoption
Application on file before discussing a dog...

We want each and every adoption to last a lifetime this time around.  Dogs are NOT placed in homes on a first come, first serve basis. Instead, they are carefully matched with a family that can best fulfill the individual dog's needs.  It has to be a match for both dog and family in order to accomplish this goal.


-Betty Boop-
Adoption PENDING

I'm Betty Boop and I'm seeking a patient, loving family with a quiet home.  Because of my past as a breeding dog, I may always be afraid of the outside world.  But I love my foster family and truly want a family of my own.  I have qualities that make me a loving companion. I'm a great snuggler if you'll allow it and am happiest just following my family around the house.  If you like kisses, I may be the girl for you!  I require a fenced yard because of my past.  If you can give me the home I need in order to thrive, won't you please complete an adoption application?


-Dawson-
Adoptable!

As you can see, I'm not OES I was purported to be but rescue just couldn't turn me away. I was described as having blue eyes but actually have just one. I may have spent a long time in a crate because it took me some time for me to build up my muscles so I could walk better.  With daily play, I've become more stable on my feet though my gait is more stiff.  I also appear to have some level of hearing.  Having tested positive for heartworms, I'm receiving a gentler form of treatment.  I enjoy very much the companionship of my family.  If you have room in your heart and home for an extra special dog, please consider me!


-Ripple-
Adoptable!

Formerly known as Puppy Boy.

I was recently given the name Ripple!  I had been left at Animal Control in an overnight hold pen.  My skin was in bad shape but has improved greatly with frequent baths.  I'm almost ready to be neutered so I can find my new family!

  Volunteers Make Rescue Possible!

We would love for you to be part of our team! Everyone has a talent they can offer to help homeless Old English Sheepdogs. Whether donating a service or skill for one hour per month to fostering a homeless dog, each and every volunteer is an important part of our system. If you can help, please take a few moments to complete our online application and tell us in what area you have an interest. If you have something to offer that is not on our list, PLEASE tell us about it! By each of us giving just a little of ourselves and working together we can make more Old English Sheepdog rescues possible.

  Have you ever considered fostering? Excellent foster homes allow Carolina's Old English Sheepdog Rescue to save more dogs in need. These wonderful individuals and families provide a safe and loving place for a dog to stay until their new family finds them. The time, love and patience invested by fosters helps to begin the transformation of an unwanted, neglected or abused Old English Sheepdog into a wonderful companion for some lucky family. If you think you're one of these special people and would like to learn more about fostering an OES, please contact us. You will be helping to save maybe one more dog that might not have otherwise had a chance. It can be a very rewarding experience.

  Donations: Adopting any dog is a commitment meant to last the lifetime of the dog. The average Old English Sheepdog lives 12 years so it isn't a decision to be taken lightly. If you aren't quite ready to adopt or foster an Old English Sheepdog but would still like to help a dog in trouble, you might consider a donation. The veterinary care required to get an Old English Sheepdog ready for adoption can be expensive and many times adoption fees don't cover all the required care. Lack of funding and good foster homes are often the two biggest reasons rescues have to turn a dog away. Donations simply make it possible for us to help and place more homeless dogs.

"Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog."
