Vinny was left on a friends porch last Saturday (by an as***le if you ask me)⌠If I knew who it was Iâd report him, but all Iâve been able to do is help house him for the last week.
Iâve called every shelter in the GTA, Barrie and some up north like dog tailsâŚeveryone is FILLED TO CAPACITY, which breaks my heart.
I wanted to keep him, but today for the first time EVER I saw a VERY aggressive side to my current Doberman. He tried to hurt Vinny badly and lucky I broke it up before any blood was drawn⌠this was during our walk, which was actually meant to help them bond (I researched walking helps new dogs to bond with the older ones).
My dog is USUALLY extremely docile and well trained thanks to Eric and beyond the leash. He gets along great with other dogs and usually never fightsâŚso this was very shocking and hurtful to see, especially because they started off so well together. Iâve done as much research as I know how to in order to try and find ANY WAY to make this work as I know rehoming dogs right now is very difficult. Either jealousy or that âpuppy temperamentâ set off my 7 year old dobie, either way, for Vinnyâs safety I cannot keep him. Iâm beyond heartbroken, but determined to find him a good home. Here is what I know about him so far as he was just dumpedâŚ
⢠SUPER SWEET AND LOVING, constantly wants to give kisses
⢠Very playful
⢠Approximately 10-12 weeks old, no way to know for sure until I bring to the vet (this week)
⢠Heâs got some separation anxiety (which is understandable since he was left in the heat for 2 days with no food or water), but weâve been working on crate training and attachment issues in the 7 days Iâve had him and heâs been doing amazing!
⢠VERY trainable and willing to learn
⢠Friendly with other dogs
⢠Snorts like a pig đˇ
⢠ALMOST fully potty trained (he learns quickly)
⢠My guess is heâs a mix of one of or all of the following breeds:
- boxer
- cane corso
- mastiff
- bulldog
I am NOT looking to sell him, only to be reimbursed for what Iâve purchased for him thus far, as it was an added expense that I wasnât anticipating. I couldnât leave him to fend for himself at this age, so I took it onâŚIâve purchased food/bowls/leash/collar/toys etc. Iâve spent $200 and will be taking him to the vet Friday where Iâll be spending more for his first round of shots (unless heâs rehomed before that).
I am looking for someone with experience with big dogs or these specific breeds & for someone who will NOT give up on him and has lots of time for him as heâs a little pup in the midst of crate and potty training. Aggressiveness was the ONLY thing that was going to make me rehome him. I was confident weâd be okay, but alas, you can never fully trust a dog and my Doberman is no different, he is my first priority and the pup doesnât need to feel scared daily or be around a dog that could scar his potential to mingle with other dogs in the future.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you know someone looking for a pup, adopt instead of heading to a backyard breeder, SO MANY DOG &&&& PUPPIES need homesâď¸
Please DM me if you think Vinny is a good fit for you and your family âĽď¸
