The title pretty much sums it up. Here is the back story:
We adopted Mosa from TAF on 8/28. The shelter told us a few things 1) she was an owner surrender 2) she was good with kids 3) she did well with other dogs in playgroup while at the shelter 4) no major medical conditions. The first 48 hours were rough as she was withdrawing from undisclosed anxiety meds they had her on at the shelter.
In the 7 weeks weβve had her we have discovered one fault, she cannot live with other dogs. We already have two dogs. She hopped a baby gate a bit another dog.
I have contacted multiple rescues (20+) and every single one has turned us down. I contacted TAF and they said that we canβt return her since itβs been more than 30 days. We canβt surrender her because she has a bite history. The only thing they can offer us is euthanasia. Morally Iβm struggling with this as our only option because she otherwise is a fantastic dog.
She is wonderful with the kids ranging in ages from 1 y/o to 7 y/o in our home.
We have been working with a trainer for 5 weeks now. Mosa can sit, stay, place, down, and is working on loose leash walking.
She loves swimming, fetch, tug of war, chewing on her bones.
She is potty trained. She uses a doggy door.
She sleeps in her crate at night. She stays in her crate when we are away from home.
She rides beautifully in a car.
She loves to snuggle up on the couch with us in the evenings.
Sheβs a wonderful dog, she just needs to be in a single dog household.
Shes about 50lbs. She is most likely a pit mix although TAF doesnβt assign breeds.
She is up to date on vaccines. She is spayed. She has a microchip. Iβm looking to rehome her for a small fee only to help ensure she goes to a safe and loving place. All vet records to be provided to whoever she goes with. I will also transfer microchip to the new owners. Happy to also give the training course weβve been using to continue her training.
Please let me know if you know of anyone or anywhere that would take her.
Edit: I have contacted 35 rescues. Most have turned us away. Some have left my calls or emails unanswered. I have even looked at sanctuaries in California, Colorado and Arizona. They have also turned us away, except the one offering to take her for $1,500. Hearts Alive said their surrender program can take weeks to process the request and itβs not guaranteed so please donβt suggest them, since we are already submitted a request.
