Our sweet 7 1/2 yr old Australian shepherd mix had to be put down New Years Eve.
She had a fast progressing cancer. ( bloodwork done 7 wks earlier was fine - it broke our hearts!)
A year ago we had to put our Rotti down after he attacked / mauled / ripped me to .
We had him @ 8 weeks, but the vet & dog trainer said something was wrong with him.
The house is scary quiet & eventually a dog (or two) needs to join us.
We rescued a dog yrs ago, & she was with us for 16 yrs in the big city.
I'm a bit terrified of the behavior of an unknown dog since the rotti attack.
Hubby really wants the pup experience again BUT it would be great to Save a Rescue!
Teaching pups that "chickens are Not toys" is a worry with an older rescue dog.
Vet told us the next dogs should be Different breed than the ones that are gone now.
It's a new start with a different color, different breed. I know I will luv any dog!
The rescue places said boxer or A. bulldog mixed pups rarely make it to the shelter.
Does ANYONE have experience with a young or adult Rescue dog?
With no background of their past, did you feel like you could fully trust them?
How about your chickens or live stock? Did the rescue dog learn Not to touch them?
Luv to hear of your Experience with Rescues or American Bulldog / Boxers please
