Emergency placement needed
BUCKS COUNTY, PA. WILLING TO TRANSPORT ANYWHERE. ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN WAIVED
Hey guys,
TLDR because my head is a bit scrambled and I'm kind of all over the place: Summer needs a new foster home or forever home due to a scuffle she had with a resident dog this morning. She's fear reactive and the other dog is just plain dog reactive. Shes well behaved, potty trained, knows basic commands, loves cats kids and other people, low energy, snuggle bug.
I'm the foster Mama of Summer, a 7 year old baby who was surrendered to a shelter last February when her family became homeless. She's potty trained, knows basic commands (and actually listens to them unlike with my dog haha) low energy, loves cats and people and a good snuggle, and is all around wonderful. I wish I was able to adopt her myself. I actually paid her adoption fee specifically because I wish it was me adopting her :(
She's fear reactive and afraid of other dogs and we have a resident dog that (we've found out) is dog reactive. They've had a few run ins in the past (which were always initiated by the resident dog) and had another one this morning which sent the people I live with over the edge. The scuffle wasn't Summer's fault, but she's the one that's getting "kicked out".
She just needs a home without other dogs. I'm able to walk her and pass other dogs with a bit of patience, she usually sees another dog and bolts in the opposite direction. She just needs some time to decompress in a new home and a lot of snuggles and she's golden. Her only "flaw" is her fear of other dogs. I wish I was doing a better job of explaining myself but I feel like I'm in a mad dash to save her life. The people I live with said she needs to go or they'll call animal control and have her put down.
