ECHO
This 3-year-old cutie of an Old English Sheepdog is Echo. Before he was welcomed home on July 15th, 2024, Echo was found as a stray and pulled from a shelter in Grand Prairie, TX. He was a matted mess, infested with worms and suffering from a respiratory infection. With the help of RROESR and his foster Mom, Echo is now a healthy, housebroken, neutered, and fully vaccinated 62 lb. bundle of burning love!
Echo’s furever Mom describes him as affectionate, joyful and stubborn. If he could, he'd spend his days with paws wrapped around his family members. He is adept at vertical leaps and can give lip smacking kisses from 2 feet away. He loves riding in the RV, going on long hikes and chasing his favorite soccer ball. He’s also known to be found wading in creeks and sleeping upside down. (Silly boy!) And while Echo is clearly an easy young man to please, he's a bit of runner. (oops!) Given that naughty little behavior, he must be kept in an enclosed yard or on the leash. And while “come, sit and stay” are all words he knows, he’s just a bit selective as to when he demonstrates said understanding. (Perhaps that stubborn thing coming into play!)
Since joining his family, Echo now knows they will not abandon him and that they will always come back home to be with him. He no longer empties the trash, removes all contents from the pantry or finds and eats an errant sock! Oh, and about that sock… Echo’s family was warned by his foster mom that, while in her care, he found a sock and ate it. She fretted for a couple of days until Echo passed the sock. So, they figured, no sweat, we don't leave socks lying around, so that won't be a problem. Last week, while folding the laundry, Echo’s Momma came up short one sock. Needless to say, she spent a couple of sleepless nights waiting for Echo to do his thing and pass that sock. And, from that day forward, they are now ever so vigilant to count their socks! Sure sounds like Echo found the most perfect family for him!
