Story
SECURED Foster needed in emergency case We have until Monday which is tomorrow to get this dog placed or it will have to go to the shelter. We know the shelters are full and I don't know what else he will resort to other than the potential possibility of this dog ending up in the wrong hands. Please read her information and if you're able to help please do reach out The landlord is making them get rid of her because of her size. She is a mix Rottweiler, lab and Coon Hound ( i feel must be another mix in there because she has a beard , I could be wrong ) . She is 1 year old, had had her shots , is not spayed ( had first heat cycle recently) . Good with kids, dogs , cats , leash and kennel trained. She was recently groomed . (Awaiting spay) Good with cats. Stays in yard if someone outside with her. Her Coon Hound nose gets going she starts to wander. So would need to be on a leash or fenced in yard to be safe
