Obi's Story

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN SOMEONE?<br/> from Cynthia Branigan<br/><br/> It's been a few weeks since we last posted Obi so I thought it was time for a refresh on this sweet boy. <br/> We've had inquiries about him, but, astonishingly, both people had cats. Let me state it again, Obi would not be a good fit with either cats or small dogs.<br/> Now that that's out of the way, here are his basic stats: Obi (racing name Getso's Osteg) is a smallish 66-pound boy who is 2 1/2 years old. He raced only 5 times but showed little aptitude for it, so the decision was made to retire him.<br/> Initially he was reluctant to go on walks but now Obi is much more relaxed and confident. That's just what a patient and skilled foster parent can do for a dog--show him the ropes. He's a good student, too!<br/> Here are some updates from his foster mom: "Obi does well most days, enjoys seeing other people in the neighborhood while on our walks and playing with the dinosaur toy. Sleeps well, no more crate bed destruction. He’s a very sweet, happy, polite boy."<br/> She added more insight on his personality: "Obi definitely prefers when i’m around and in the same room with him. If someone in his new family would be around most of the time, I think he would like that very much." <br/> I'll add that I think he'd love a canine companion his own size, both as company and to take the lead. He's great riding in the car, and he's housebroken.<br/> So what's stopping you? I know Obi's forever home is out there! Let's talk and make it happen.
