Today while making that tough decision about the feline we foster, we were contacted about a bulldog that was at A shelter. The person was in the waiting room to have the dog surrendered. This shelter person called Mommy because we are on the contact list with some shelters. The owner was there to turn the dog over because it had a behavior issue. On first glance it appeared as if the dog was injured and on second glance it appeared as if the dog was sick.
Because we have Rufus Rascals and a few vets on Angel accounts, our shelter worker in another County wanted to see if I had any experience or knowledge to this person. I believe she thinks all bulldog people live in one neighborhood.
Facts are sketchy, with one HUGE exception. Owner called her friend she knows that has a bulldog, said friend gave all kinds of hugs and kisses and reassurance and said put it DOWN. Now I won't lie and say maybe that is the answer in many cases, but said friend Suzy Q is not your expert.
When dogs fight or aggressive ask your vet, ask your expert, but please don't ask the friend with the hyper smiles and kisses. You see, this dog was just about to be put down.
We saved the dog, took him to a vet and had the behavior specialist eval the dog. Turns out dog was not aggressive dog was SICK.
Please folks... I will share my home remedies that I use on Gunner, but never will I attempt to solve your behavior issues. While I have had horses since the age of 3 and shown dogs for a very long time, there are limitations.
Foster dog is now adjusting and I will follow him, I am hoping for a complete turn around...
