Urgently need some help and suggestions...

silentlette

I know people on here have said that Sheeba isn't what she looks and acts like but people that have experience in person beg to differ. That being said, until they call me back I was wondering if anyone knew of rescues or something that take in these kind of dogs at least? I'm sure this is coming out wrong and I apologize for that but my little sister was just going to take her outside on the wrong damn leash without me knowing and was able to attack our 10yr old dachshund and put fang marks and a hole in the side of his chest before I could get her off of him, loosing my whole finger nail in the posses. I've tried my best to keep them apart and to keep sheeba away from both zero and our other animals but this is the 4th time this has happened. I'm on my way to the vet atm just to make sure zero doesn't need stitches. Sadly at this point I'm going to be forced to re-home her and am wondering the best way to go about this? I don't want to see her get rehomed again and again or for her to kill or injure someone else's pet so definitely need to try and find a rescue hopefully in or near Arizona who knows about these breeds and their behavior.

Any and all help would be extremly appreciated and I thank you for taking the time to read this and apologize if I sound rude.

Edit: Pics from the other day. She's a good dog outside of wanting to kill little animals.

That really sucks, I don't really know any rescues in your area but maybe @brada1878 or @shibamistress may know since they are relatively "near" your area.

silentlette

Dang I had a feeling their wouldn't be. Guess I'll be doing alot of calling around to some of the other rescues. Was hoping not to have to since I see all the time how full they are.

@silentlette - If you're unsuccessful, my rescue transports from the south east to the north east. We don't often take dogs from the west, but I had a foster that had come all the way from California, so I can see if there's something they can suggest or if we can take her.



I wonder if the Jindo rescue (Two Dog Farms?) would take her? I remember someone saying that she reminded them of a Jindo and I think they take dogs around there? @sukoshi_mom / @ayk ? I don't remember. Sorry.

I got nothing, sorry

She could be a quarter coyote mix, I realize this isn't her breed thread but my mom had one and it would take out any animal that ran or crossed her "territory" but was super sweet to humans, is there a rescue that deals with coyote mixes (that might be a reach)?

I got in touch w/ Silentlette via the Nihon Ken email system and gave her Rosalind Behenna's email (Two Dog Farms Jindo Rescue). Also made some other suggestions.

shibamistress

Yeah, I don't know, as I'm not in AZ, and in NM I know the Akita rescue people, but that's about it (well, some general rescues too, but they won't take "aggressive" animals).

I don't think her "aggression" with other animals is necessarily from a wild canid. A lot of dogs who have a high prey drive are like that. I'm not sure what you mean by "dogs like these?" Like what? With a high prey drive? Or?

But in any case, I'd suggest checking into rescues in your area. Since you don't know her breed it won't be a breed specific one, but they could help.

I think she is a sesame Shiba, or at least would pass for one from the photos. Contact Shiba rescue and see what options they have for you.
