****COURTESY POST**** Via message - My husband and I are in a unfair and tricky dilemma. We have three dogs at home, one of them being a three year old spayed female lab/pit mix who is our former roommates dog. Our roommate was injured four months ago in a assault and will be in recovery for a long time. His family is not able to home her as they have one of his dogs already and of course the two dont get along. We are looking for a long term home for her that suits her better as she has severe separation anxiety and needs a yard with a tall fence and someone who is home the majority of the time. She essentially is a 45 pound lap dog if youll let her be. We would be asking to meet and interview the new owners and see how they interact with her (and their children/pets if they have them), as well as keeping in contact with them. If anything were to go wrong, we would ask for her back and start from square one again. She is well trained and knows sit, stay, come, wait, heel and lie down. She is a wonderful swimmer and loves playing in the surf and playing fetch. She will dig, but we let her have one big hole to play in and thats it. She is wonderful with our two dogs, one being a eight month old beagle and the other a 3 year old papillion. Small dogs are a hit or miss with her, so obviously we would want to check the interaction first. Cats, I dont think shes ever been around. Children-wise, she is a natural protector (we have a four month old that she loves) and loves playing and cuddling. So, why are we trying to re-home her if shes so great? You got her good traits, now here is the bad. She can be crated, however we have determined it would need to be a steel crate as she has gone through a plastic one and metal one. The metal crate is completely unusable now because she broke the welds on the crate and tore through the door. We try to keep all the dogs separated as they can be troublemakers when kept together. We had also put her in the back part of our house with a interior door separating her and the crated beagle. The interior door is now shredded in her attempt to be in the main part of the house. She could very well be an outdoor dog with a tall fence and insulated kennel along with daily interaction. (Shes kinda a weeny and doesnt like the cold). Pictures are available upon requests. We wouldnt be charging a re-homing fee as the she is not up to date on shots. If she is not rehomed by the by the end of January, it is the owners request that she be put to sleep. - ***Please contact Anna Feldon at 843-597-8470 for more information.
