It is time to rehome Sasha

[krystyne73]

I have battled this in my mind for 2 years now and I just think this is best for our family/pack. I am sure you can see my past posts that I have tried everything. She is such a fun, sweet, beautiful and hyper dog. She is just not right for the rest of my pack.

Sasha is a 3 yr old, 65lb solid black GSD. She has working lines (Czech/ German). I have posted her pedigree on her before.
She is spayed, microchipped, crate trained, potty trained, leash trained and comfortable at groomers monthly.

Her faults are she has a high prey drive and will nip at anything that moves except kids...but she has been known to bite my leg when another dog is walking by us. She is almost uncontrollable when near another dog that is more energetic than her.
She is great at feeding time, in fact, she hardly eats and doesn't have much interest in treats. Basically, she likes to run after things...balls, frisbees and animals lol
She will bring back the toy and will want to play until she literally collapses from exhaustion. She loves to hike, job and swim. She has some experience on a treadmill. She is a good dog but is fighting with my other two females. She drew blood for the last time on my Meika. She needs an experienced handler.

Her trainer loved her and felt she would be great for protection or service dog. I can't seem to find a GSD rescue org here in Edmond/OKC. the emails come back. My husband is stressed and with his MS this causes problems. We just moved to a new home and the new dogs in the neighborhood have made her extremely high strung and so we are back to square one. Right now we have all 3 females separated.
any help finding her a home would be great, but I'll be in tears.

I'm sorry you've had to make this difficult decision. You know what's best for everyone involved. Hugs

She's beautiful! I know how hard it is to make that decision but it sounds as though it will be the best for everyone. I'll ask around at my club

Did you contact her breeder about this? (I am sorry if that is not possible, I am not familiar with every one on this board)LOL

Sounds like some dominance issues going on as well. I am going to PM you something too.

What about MOGS - is that close? I don't know that area. Google that with German Shepherd Rescue and it will get you to their page. Also the GS Rescue in Austin, TX would be the GSD rescue in TX I would look at. She sounds like a great potential agility prospect once she got in hand. I love her look!

I have looked up her breeder who is about 30mls from here but I think it must be a backyard breeder cuz there is no website and no titles for Sasha's parents just the rest of her pedigree.

If you scroll on my posts, Sasha is a dog I "adopted" off CL to help her but never found a home for her so I kept her. One sheriff's dept wanted her but he didn't seem trustworthy since he didn't come to see her just said " I'll get her today", then I had another lady that said she wanted her for SAR but never emailed me back. She is so beautiful, it can be blinding to her issues lol

Thanks I will look that up. Yes, she was actually on the waiting list for agility training before we moved.
She has great recall in the woods but not in the yard with a dog barking next door. I have her on youtube too, she can jump 6ft high.

Sounds like she needs a job. Have you tried contacting a SchH club and see if anyone is interested or if anyone knows anyone....

No I haven't.
I was actually hoping things were getting better. It has been several months since there has been a big fight, but she bit Meika, my gentle GSD and I swore the next time she bit Meika (leaving a bloody bite) that I needed to rehome her. Meika was doing nothing but standing there and Sasha runs over and bites her when she is worked up about something.

I know you've been working so hard w/ her. Its such a hard thing to come to the realization to rehome. You have to do what's best for you and your family and it's never an easy decision. Hopefully you can get her into a rescue that can find her the right family. I wish you the very best of luck..
