I have a friend looking for a Sheltie. She does not want a pup and would
prefer a young adult male. She is hoping for a Blue merle but is willing to
adopt any male sheltie. She has two daughters so it would be nice if he
were housetrained with some discipline if possible.

I tried contacting the rescue group in Quebec but there is nothing right now
(which, in itself, is not a bad thing. It means there are no shelties in
distress, at least that we know of). The search has been broadened to
Ontario but no news so far.

Anyone knows of a young male looking for an enthusiastic home ?

While I would not normally recommend any type of internet advertising site,
there is one site that I can recommend -
http://www.everythingsheltie.com/viewtheads.htm .
I suggest that your friend place an ad there (free) as the site is viewed by
many Sheltie fanciers and breeders and she may have some luck making
connections. All the normal caveats apply - she should take time to
determine if the breeder is responsible and may have to wait for the right
dog. Chances are, there are breeders out there with pups that were being
grown out for show that either went over or under size or otherwise are not
show potential, but would make fantastic pets.

What you could do is check out the CKC's Dogs In Canada Mag and contact
breeders and ask if they have a young male. Here is the link..
Make sure you click on "find a breed alphabetically" rather than the breeder
showcase thing if this link doesn't take you there.
