I recieved a call yesterday from a woman in Ohio who has a 6 year old unneutered male dog that she needs to rehome within 2 weeks due to her surgery. The reason I posted in the urgent section is because she will take him to be euthanized if she cannot find someone to take him because she said the shelter told her they cant take him (so gave her my number) and she also said she would rather he is pts than stuck at a shelter to die alone, she "doesnt want to do that to her dog". She has 2 hurniated disks and a vertibrae injury, and has the dog on a chain, in which she claims she doesnt bring him in the house at all, and wont even be able to get out there to take him his food once surgery is done. She said he loves people, is excellent with kids,ok with cats and dogs once he has been introduced and is around them for a bit. Apparently, they used to live on a farm, but since moving to the city she just keeps him chained and she said he was attacked by a pit bull while chained, according to a witness the guy unleashed both dogs and the pit bull ended up being euthanized-all of this is documented. (The witness was a neighbor-a parole officer). Since the attack, he is very wary of other dogs but is said to be okay once around them, but was never like this before the attack/chaining occured. She claims all the "problems" started when they moved to the city. He is up to date on his shots, about 100 pounds, calm in the house when she used to let him in, and had him since he was a puppy, she claims from German lines. He used to live with two other dogs, she did not say what happened to the others. I am pretty concerned over this guy, as he is left outside from what I understand all the time, and if she doesnt even know how she will go outside to feed him when the surgery is done, I worry even more. She left me her number, and said she would welcome any help before euthanizing him. If anyone can help, PLEASE, PLEASE pm me and I will give you her number to contact her!!!!!
