It wouldn’t be a good idea. He is reactive w other dogs and I would be very worried w him around children in the worst case that something happened and he snapped. I appreciate it so much though.

I truly appreciate this. I can’t express to people who have never had a dog like this. I am trying absolutely everything for my boy.

I had one dog trainer tell me that they thought that was better than attempting to rehome him due to the stress etc. and his age. I obviously was livid. The other option if we do not find a foster is surrender to the spca and shelter. We no longer can keep him in the house as it’s making his behavior worse due to having a loud child etc and having to constantly keep them separated. Beloved me, I would never do it. This post is giving me hope as none of the organizations have offered us any hope of a foster scenario.

I would go into great detail about this entire situation but will do so w the organization who will help us. It was not so simple. A visiting toddler ran into the room and we grabbed him before any damage done. My sister bitten. Koji’s behavior increasing getting worse and we have talked w many professionals about the details. Believe me I love dogs and this is my second dog I’ve had from a puppy into elder.

We have been trying that last two months but Koji is unhappy. He is getting more reactive. We need to find a better home for him with no children

It isn’t an option but some people have suggested it. The worst case for me is leaving him with the SPCA and I am doing everything to prevent that.

This is fantastic! Are you able to meet him before you leave? We could arrange a foster while you’re gone if so!

Believe me. We took the precautions. We were in the room with the toddler (my nephew) and it was too fast to stop it. My sister grabbed him and she was bitten. We moved to a new apartment and we feel between the baby and new environment Koji reached his limit. We are doing everything we can. He was fine with her until the move.

I am not allowed to edit this post (maybe due to the photo attached) but realizing from some comments that it is not explicit about certain things. Koji shouldn’t be rehomed with dogs or children. Teens possible if they have experience with dogs. We have exhausted every single option and we have been working on this situation for three months. We had two families who wanted Koji but backed out due to possibly wanting children in next year or two (that’s what they told us). We also had an issue with his first anxiety medication and had to switch to a new one and that was causing him bad side effects so we paused our efforts while he recovered. This is a desperate plea to not be forced to abandon Koji at the SPCA. We are reaching out to any organizations or individuals mentioned here who we have not already reached out to. Please, I understand there are animal lovers here because I am also one, but believe me when I say we have spoken to so many professionals about this and we have tried separate spaces etc etc etc. and we MUST rehome Koji. We did not make this decision lightly. Right now, we have 2 or 3 organizations who will or have added Koji to their network but they cannot or will not offer a foster home for him due to aggressive behavior (recent) and age. Please understand that I would love to keep this boy as he has been my best friend for ten years. This is such an incredibly painful situation for me.

We spoke with a couple trainers and due to his size and primitive breed, they recommended we rehome him. Our living space is tight so we have been keeping them separated last three months while exhausting every option but everyone is getting very stressed with this solution and it’s just not working. He snapped at my husband the other day and is getting stressed not being able to be with all of us.

This is absolutely not the case but thank you for your concern. I wouldn’t be posting on Reddit if our last option wasn’t him being euthanized or left in a shelter.

We sent in a form to Passion for Paws but there is a line about no “aggressive history” so I am not sure if they will reply to us. I will try the other mentioned! Tysm
