My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET SHEBA

********************************************************************************************************
BOERBEL traits:
* Muscular and very strong
* loyal and protective companion
* intelligent and very trainable
* can be reserved with strangers
* requires firm and consistent leadership

Sheba is a 4 year old Boerbel/Mastiff mix weighing about 120 lbs.

Background: Sheba had to be rehomed from the only family she has ever known. This change was very difficult for her, but fortunately she is being fostered by a family experienced with this breed who have helped her through this change.

Personality: Sheba, like all Boerbels, needs a few days to adjust and warm up to her new surroundings. But once she feels comfortable, she is a great dog. Foster describes her as a pure couch potato, just happy to relax most of the day. She is a quiet dog who loves to play with her toys more than anything and which she can be protective of. Sheba is potty trained and has no destructive tendencies at all.

Health: Sheba had some skin issues when she came to us but a higher quality diet has helped improve and alleviate this problem. She has been spayed and is fully vaccinated. We know of no health concerns.

Perfect Family:
* Sheba's ideal home would be with adults only or a family with older children (12+). She seems confused by young children and would adjust better without them in the home.
* Preferably she would be the only dog in the home. The exception would be small to medium sized MALE dogs only. She does not like or do well with female dogs.
* A secure yard is an absolute must! Like many Boerbels, Sheba has a protective quality and likes to monitor her space.
* Experienced Boerbel handlers would be ideal. Also necessary are patient and responsible adopters who understand large breeds and are willing to give Sheba time to adjust in a new environment.
* Adopters willing to provide some form of training would get a great companion dog.

Sheba is fostered in Livingston, TX and is with No One's Dog Rescue, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit. We require completion of our Adoption Application before meeting any of our dogs. Please request our form.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Request an application form, complete it in its entirety and return. The rescue will review it, check references and do a home check.

2.

Meet the Pet

If approved for adoption, a date and time will be set up to introduce the dog you have contacted us about.

3.

Approve Application

Once your application is approved and you have met and decided to adopt the dog, we require a 2 week trial adoption first.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

If the trial adoption is sucessful, the final step is executing the adoption contract and payment of the adoption fee to the rescue.

5.

Take the Pet Home

The pet is already home at this point and we hope in a long and loving relationship with your family.

Additional adoption info

I am not into rescue to have the largest turnaround of dogs. I am into rescue to take a battered and dejected dog off the streets. To get it healthy and confident in order to make a loving and permanent placement. A human-dog love connection!

More about this rescue

I am an animal lover but specifically a dog lover. I have picked up stray dogs for many years so forming a rescue was inevitable. No One's Dog Rescue is devoted to saving street dogs, one dog at a time. This includes good nutrition for vital health and training for an amendable dog. Part of my mission is to connect the right dog with the right person so there is much discussion with adopter on specific wants vs needs. I also advocate and support raw feeding and natural rearing protocols. As a nutritionist myself I know first hand the power of good food irregardless of species. I rescue because the need is so great and hope to set an example of compassion and responsibility by my actions.
