Default Frisco, TX - 9 yr old Female GSD needs home

My wife and I took custody of a dog, Lexi, who was going to be euthanized because the owners did not want her anymore. We had intentions of keeping the dog, but she unfortunately does not get along with our animals:a 5 month old GSD and a 1 1/2 year old schnauzer. The day we went to pick her up we were informed that the dog had bitten a child on the arm. The bite was described as mild and, as it was her 1st incident, we are not sure what triggered it. We took her to the SPCA and told them of the incident. My wife and I were told that they could not keep her because of it. We have been frantically calling adoption centers that have foster care, but the outlook is very bleak. She is a wonderful and sweet dog in the house when its just my wife and I, so I know she just needs a home with no animals or children. She is potty trained, crate trained and leash trained. Does anyone know of a shelter that takes tough cases such as Lexi's? Or is anyone interested in her? We are located in Frisco Texas. Thank you in advance for the input!

I see you also posted this in the rescue, foster, and adoption (General) section. It should probably go in non-urgent rescue.

Is this the same dog Sleepyhouse is trying to find a home for? Or are there 2 9-year old GSDs in DFW that need homes? (probably more than that)

Here: Rescues seem confusing

Yes, that's my wife's best friend. We didn't know she had posted....lol. Maybe a fresh post will attract some attention? Who knows. I hope we can find a home for her. Thank you for your help!

I moved your post to Non-Urgent since you are looking for a home for her. It would help if you had a picture to post of her.

Have you contacted Texas Rescues? There are quite a few:
North Texas German Shepherd Rescue, Inc.
www.austingermanshepherdrescue.org
www.gsdrescuectx.com
www.ghgsdr.org
www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX274.html

The last link is to Good Shepherd Rescue - not a shelter, all their dogs are in foster care. If these people can't help you, ask them if they will courtesy post your dog on their websites to give you more exposure. Good luck with Lexi she looks like my kind of gal (except that I already have a female who wouldn't accept her....)
