Story
Hello, this is Oni she is about 3 years old. Found her on the street as a puppy when she was a couple months old & my sister has had her since! Unfortunately my sister is needing to rehome her due to aggression. She is the SWEETEST girl when it comes to humans, super cuddly, clingy, calm but she has always been very aggressive towards other animals. She got along with her brother but lately she’s been snapping on him. He was here before her & shes just been attacking him any chance she gets. We separated them and put her inside full time but within a couple days she attacked our cat which she also grew up with & left him extremely injured. She needs to be in a home where it is ONLY her & will forever remain that way.
