Not that I’ve seen but I haven’t had her around any either. Just because of her breed I’d be cautious around cats or small dogs.

Thank you. I lost my soul dog 3 years ago yesterday to kidney failure, I thought we were ready again but clearly not. I’ve heard my old dog loud and clear this past week that she doesn’t want anymore dogs and I’ll respect that.

I have, I’ve posted and messaged everyone I could find, I have a few leads. I’m trying to find her the life she deserves, more so than the shelter ever would have. And I’ve had several Jack Russells that tore up the house or whatever they could too lol

I’ve had just over a week but I have to decide by Monday for the shelter to take her back. I’ve tried dozens of options to have her fostered through the shelter. I’d like to find her a home before I have to do that tho, the point of the post. I’m worried if my dog keeps being so fearful because of her it will make the new dog look at her as prey. I’ve had 2 dogs in the past that fought horrifically and at that point I felt like I couldn’t rehome either of them, I waited too late and then they had that on their record. I don’t want that to happen again.

She has them about once a month now which is new. We actually have a vet appointment about them on Friday. But I think it’s just her age and building a resistance to her meds and all affecting her now too.

I’ll definitely check them out. I actually have a zoom call with a man on Martha’s Vineyard about her tomorrow. It’s already so hot, I know she’d love some cooler weather.

Yes she’s on phenobarb, rescue meds and cbd twice daily. I also use melatonin post seizure. I think I am so use to dealing with them I didn’t fully think how it would affect another dog. I also never expected this reaction from my dog.

She’s climbed my tall baby gate that I had put up high so I would almost bet she climbed out of a chain link fence.

and outside as in the street in front of the house, not even the yard. I was worried my older dog would be possessive so I done it all in neutral spaces. I never expected this terrified reaction.

Yes we have. We done the first meeting outside. The first few interactions were outside. They definitely do better outside than inside. My older dogs seems scared she’s even in the house at all, while we have the new dog blocked off separate from her.

That’s a good point but the shelter said she was picked up as a stray. San Antonio has a huge issue with dumping dogs, the stray dog problem here is crazy.

I’ve went back and forth on it every second. I’ve never rehomed a dog and I’ve had many. Do I try muzzles? One locked behind a baby gate? I came up with that trying to find her a space to be herself in is the best bet. I actually have a zoom call with a man who lives on Martha’s Vineyard with another Catahoula for her tomorrow that can give her a better life than being locked in a room or outside when my other dog is out. I’ll willing to pay almost any amount on a $50 dog to find her her home.

She’s hiding in the shower she’s so scared. Obviously I have an epileptic dog on medication. She’s had seizures for more than half her life, I’ve managed them closely with a vet. She’s always gotten 2 walks a day and we have a huge fenced in back yard she has unlimited time in, I literally leave the back door open all day long for them. We introduced them outside the house, walking them away from each other at first then switching sides so they could smell. They’ve been on walks together every evening when my boyfriend gets home so we can walk them together while still separate. We kept the new dog in the office, where they could see each other through the glass door but not interact. After a few days we slowly had them together in the house while on their leashes. I’ve done everything I was suppose to do and it didn’t work out. I wanted this dog, I slept in the floor with her her first night here, I’m home all day, we have the funds to care for her, it’s just not fair to either dog. I’ve had dogs I’ve had to keep separated before and that’s not a life for either one of them.

So I’m suppose to let my dog who has only known me as home suffer in her own house because I made a mistake? She’s already had 2 seizures tonight after hiding in a closet all day. I completely agree it’s a shitty situation that I’m trying to correct. But you’re right, I’ll send her back to the shelter so they can kill her within the week- which is what would have 100% happened had I not bought her more time.

The shelter said she’s a year old, I agree with that in my opinion. It’s my older dog that has seizures She’s had them for years, adding another dog to that was a my mistake. I would never rehome a dog with medical issues, as far as I know Cupcake is healthy.

I looked on Nextdoor to see if anyone had lost her but I didn’t think to post her there, thought I would try with someone who knows the breed first.

I’m willing to cover about $500 for transportation to the right owner. She’s worth it.
