Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi - It's Jana Sheeder.
I'm desperate. I need your help, please!!!
In January, I found a young white boxer staggering down the middle of a busy road in the Redlands, Florida. She had no collar, no microchip, was emaciated, and had been "tagged" by a car (blood on her leg, but no injury). Cars were zooming by (not even slowing down).
We hung multiple "Found" signs for her (and placed newspaper ads), but she wasn't reclaimed.
She was such a lovebug. She seemed starved for attention. We vetted her. She was spayed, and is now up-to-date on shots, her fecal and heartworm tests were negative, she's healthy, and she is on monthly Trifexis. She's beautiful -- floppy ears and long tail. Our vet told us that her age is about 1 and 1/2 years old He says that she's a white Boxer. We named her Rainey.
As she has regained her health, she is now coming into her own and is VERY muscular and strong and VERY active and energetic. Since we have only elderly dogs, we must keep them separated from her because she is strong and has been dominant over them and hurt them in the past. We have a great trainer, Edel Miedes of K9 Advisors and have been training her multiple times a day. We've never dealt with a big, strong dog, and she needs someone with experience to work with her. All of our dogs are acting differently since she's been here. One hides all the time, another won't leave her dog bed, and another is getting more and more depressed. We are worried about their physical (and mental) health.
Rainey has done so well with the training, but she needs more (and someone with experience).
We can't keep her for our own, as our home is not able to accommodate a young, strong dog like her. We have no experience and it is not fair to our other dogs.
She needs someone with boxer (or tough/young/muscular dog) experience!
At the present time we are spending all of our time with her, and we are neglecting our dogs, our (human) family, and own medical issues, and our work. EVERYTHING is suffering.
Can someone please help?! I'm truly desperate.
Even if you or your group, personally, can't help, if you know of someone who can, please send this to them! If you know of someone who is good at (ethically) training dogs and wants to take her as a project, we're all for it. If you know of an out-of-state group who would like to help her, we'll help make it happen! We will do whatever it takes. She needs more than we can offer her.
Thank you soooo much,
Jana
