Story

we need to rehome her for the safety of our other pets. She is the instigator in aggressive behavior and has formed a pack mentality with our English bulldog towards our cats. This has been an issue for over 2 years and is becoming increasingly dangerous. Lucky is a great dog alone. We have tried multiple different methods to remedy the situation . I’ve even tried to take her to daycare but she became aggressive with new dogs in a crowded environment. I thought extra playtime would help. She on the other hand is very loyal and sweet with people. She is good motivated and loves to play indoors and outdoors

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Josie is an incredibly smart, happy lady, who needs a home with no other pets or children. She is incredibly sweet, loves to cuddle, and can’t get enough pool time or time with her pet pheasant (favorite toy!). Jo has attacked two of her sister dogs, despite training (she loves tricks!) and medication (clonidine and peroxetine). She has not shown aggression toward humans, but I do not trust her around kids anymore. We love her dearly, but she is no longer safe with our other pets. We have a cat, who Josie has an obsession with and wants to play with, but has never been actively aggressive with him. We adopted Jo from a shelter in Oklahoma in 2021 when she was 9 months old. She was born February 2021. We started having behavioral issues in 2024 after the passing of our oldest male dog (she was the youngest of 5 dogs at that time). We have acreage that she loves exploring, and she stays close to home.
