4 yr old GSD need someone to take

jball0383 · 09-02-2010, 02:01 PM

It is with pretty great sadness that I sit here typing this. I am located near Baton Rouge, LA and would like to know if someone would like to take my 4 yr old female GSD as a new member into their family. I moved into a new home and will not be able to have her at my house any longer. I need someone that is willing to take care of her and treat her extremely well. She has Pannus and requires 1 eye drop a day into each eye but this does not affect her one bit. She went to the eye doctor today actually and he said her eyes look fine and continue what we are doing. If you think you would be able to take her off of my hands please contact me. My name is Jason.

Jason, try contacting a German Shepherd rescue group in your area, hopefully they'll be able to help you. I'm sorry you have to give her up it must be really hard.

I wish i could but i do wish you the best of luck in finding a home for her!

Did she do something to your new house that she needs to be rehomed?? A picture is really advantageous to post on your thread. A bio would help about her personality too.

No she is a great dog! My insurance will not cover my home with a GSD and I do not have a fenced in yard. I can post a picture I just have been on my phone instead of my desktop. She is great with my 5 and 7 yr old kids but is very protective of them.

jeez, when I hear stuff like that I feel shame to be associated with the insurance business.
have you looked at other options? not all insurance companies discriminate against GSDs.
I will do some research and report back.

Please try not to give her up, maybe find a different insurer. This is terrible.....

Jason, who is your insurance company?
Dog lists vary from company to company as do their rules. if you are not able to find one that will fully insure you and the dog (bite liability) second option will be to exclude the dog. it would mean no coverage if she bites someone, but you can still keep her and just take extra precautions to prevent any incidents.

I have ASI and its a great deal...the only other ones i found that she would be covered under is 1500 dollars more and unfortunately at this time I can't afford that. I am really good friends with the breeder I got her from and she is looking for a place for her as well. For the last year I have had her at my parents' house and they built her a 50x50 outside pen and let her come inside all the time...she sleeps inside just like she did at my house so it is comfortable for her. I was really hoping I could keep her there until I could fence in the yard and I could really care less what my insurance said. The fence which is over 8k dollars is just not an option at this time.

Please do not think I want to get rid of my girl, I really do not. I just do not think I have much of an option at this point financially with the fence and the insurance.

You should look into the laws in your state. In PA, it is illegal to deny coverage to someone based on the dog breed, or at least that is what I was told by my insurance company.

Keep looking around for other insurance companies. What company does your parents go through?
