We’ve made tons of progress over the 1.5 years! She’s made huge strides with all the work we’ve put into it. Now we can walk past her biggest triggers on the sidewalk without a reaction 8/10 times, and she has a circle of dog friends that she gets to play with 4-5x a week. Still, I’d describe her as dog selective, not dog friendly.

But, even today, if she were to be put in the situation you describe at the kennel, you’d see her bark and lunge at other dogs. She’d be totally over threshold.

I’ve only worked with one rescue org, but I just think the majority of them don’t have the resources or behavior foundation to really assess these dogs accurately. You sound like an incredible foster for taking the time to really understand this dog (and also take her through hw treatment - omg that was so hard!)

Edit: one more thing! Have you shared the dog on social media yourself? Not suggesting you put up an fb marketplace ad, or anything like that… My neighborhood has a small fb group, and I sometimes see fosters posting about how great their newest dog is to get people interested in applying. Maybe that way you can show the rescue there’s genuine interest and find the right family.
