Sweet sensitive Tex needs to find a new home ASAP ~ he currently lives in Placitas NM

For the last 5 years I have been an only dog with an amazing man that is so patient and kind to me, especially in the first few months when I was so afraid of everything. He gave me my own room in his home where I am comfortable and happy when Dad is not home. I’m housetrained and Dad never asked me to live in a thing called a crate. I am afraid of thunder, gun shots and fireworks; but all I do is pace and as soon as the noise stops I am fine again. I have a beautiful fenced yard with 5 foot fences that I’ve had no desire to escape, why would I? I walk well on leash, my Dad spent lots of time getting me comfortable walking on a leash in this big amazing world. I also have a super power, I keep my distance and bark at snakes. The rescue woman is impressed that I figured this out on my own without training. I bark to alert my Dad and he takes care of things and makes sure the snake can’t ever hurt me. My Dad is my hero and protector. 

But here is where my perfect life takes a very sad turn, my Dad is very sick and he’s not going to be able to be with me soon. And even now, Dad isn’t worried about what is happening to him, he is only worried about what will happen to me. 

The SWESR woman says I’m a sensitive boy, even for an English Setter. She thinks someone familiar with dogs like me will be helpful and I need another kind and gentle person to help me find my way after my Dad is gone. She thinks a quiet and calm home will be best for me since that’s what I’m used to. She is very impressed that I don’t have separation anxiety though she worries it will seem like I do initially in my new home, but it will be just me missing my Dad. I’m going to be sad for awhile and will want to look for my Dad so I’ll need a secure home and yard. Can you be the one that helps me find my footing again?
