Its a long shot...

So we had a loss in the family a fee weeks ago, our bully Jax lost his battle to lymphoma and our other dog Tyson has been depressed ever since. He just lies in Jax's bed all day unless he goes for walks, which is the only time he seems to come to life. So we went this week to fond him a buddy to keep his mind off Jax. I spent 4 hours at the local animal shelter interacting with some ones we liked. Found one that looks identical to Tyson and was the best behaved dog. Adopted and took him home the next day.

So i met my fiance with my other dog at a neutral place to introduce them. Everything went good, he was good with my son, etc. I took tyson home and my fiance took the new dog home later. Came home from work a couple hours after to introduce them again, this time in the home. Well we found out the new dog does not do well with other dogs in the same household. I had to pull him off Tyson multiple times. Tried to walk them side by side to limit the aggression, but the new dog will not let Ty get ahead of him and constantly tries to attack him. Basically, we need a home for this new dog. I really do not want to return him to the shelter so im reaching out to all avenues to try and ring him a home.

Hes great with people and my 4 yr old son. Basic obedience training (knows simple commands and listens when being told "no"), neutered and house broken. Hes a great dog, we just had no idea he was extremely territorial. So if anyone near the central florida area or lower Georgia who wants a free dog, i have medical records, leash, water and food bowl, amd a small bag of food that he will come with. I just want him to have a good home.

First off condolences on the loss of Jax. And Kudos for reaching a dog from the shelter. All ours are rescues. Hopefully you were able to find her a new home or maybe a trainer willing to work with you.


There are a lot different ways to introduce dogs to each other. Our latest rescue is a
3 year old pit/bulldog mix and was getting along great with the other dogs as you can see from my avatar. But after 5 or 6 weeks he started going after Max who is around 12 or so. We have spent a lot of time reintrducing them. He wears a basket muzzle when we walk them together,and if Auggie, the young one makes the slightest move towards Max, he gets hit with a blast of air from a pet convincer (can be found on Amazon or in pet stores).

I read that shaking pennies in a tin can is a good tool. It is to dogs what fingernails scratching on a blackboard is to humans.

Some dogs you just can't do anything about. When they are an alpha dog they want to dominate others. We have two chihuahuas. One is ten pounds the other is less than 5. The small one is the alpha male. He's in charge and the bigger one submits to him every time. The small one would attack any dog on the street if he wasn't on a leash. He goes nuts when he sees another dog. Its just the way they're wired. You're right to find a home for your new dog. He's better off in a single pet home.
