I have a 2 1/2 year old female spayed pit/boxer mix up for adoption. She is current on vaccines and also microchipped. The problem is her and her housemate do not get along and we have tried everything. Dymond is so affectionate and so eager to please. She really just loves to lay in your lap...all 45 pounds of her. She is great with commands, good on walks and great with people. Both of my dogs just need to be in a one dog home. Both being females and dominant makes for so much chaos. Dymond is a heart wrenching dog to give up as she has tons of personality...hardly ever barks but just wants to love and be loved. The only reason why we are looking for a home for her and not our other dog is that we have had the other one much longer and feel her age may hinder someone adopting her as opposed to Dymond being only 2 1/2 years old. I must stress that she needs to be in a ONE DOG household and that interested persons read up a little or feel free to ask questions about her breed. There is tons I just found out. I rescued her about 1 year ago and am still learning. Please email plutojen26@yahoo.com I will email pics
only serious inquiries!! I will not ship her anywhere without meeting the person and doing a face to face interview and seeing her prospective living arrangements.

Are both of your dogs spayed? If it is dominace issures, it would help...

Yes they are both spayed, current on their vaccines, microchipped....they are both just dominant females and after reading up more on this issue I am surprised that the shelter let me adopt Dymond (the pit mix) when I already had a female in the home. Apparently pits and pit mixes-especially females, don't get along well sometimes with other females after they hit 1-2 years in age. We are still going to take them to yet another trainer who deals with dog aggressive dogs to see if that helps. Even if we do find Dymond a home, I want her to be the best Dymond she can be. She already knows the basic commands and loves to please people- that's in her pit nature, but with our other dog also being aggressive, we would like to correct this...we are doing this now instead of letting it go, which I have seen a lot of people do. I used to work as a vet assistant and also in a shelter. I don't want this to get any worse. Sorry about the long answer to your short question...lol

I am aware that the shelter will take her back but they will also put her down too when they run out of room...and this shelter routinely does run out of room. However, I did have to turn her back into the shelter. I tried an animal sanctuary and the humane society actually told me that if I had placed her there and they found out that I did, I would be fined and possible get jail time. I said...wait...you are the HUMANE society...right? If I can save her life wouldn't that be better?
