Meet My Foster! = )

Our rescue tries to not deal with dog aggressive dogs simply for the fact that most of our foster homes and homes that adopt from us already have other dogs.

IMO, keeping her confined isn't something you should feel guilty about. While it's not her fault she's aggressive (probably the scum that dumped her's fault), being cooped up for several hours is better than being killed, a stray, or winding up in the pound, right?

my two Huskies are separated by that same reason... Ninja can´t stand China.... they share a gate and can sniff/see each other but not touch...

China wants to play and Ninja immediately growls and snaps... so for their better they are separated... no big deal... I´d love if they could be together but it just wasn´t meant for them... both were raised together since puppies... but a third dog started this between them... so it wasn´t abuse or socialization just maybe following up or dominancy... China is very very mellow and Ninja is more dominant but was ok until this other dog tried to be the alpha on China... when removed Ninja took over that task and it was not pretty...

I hope her being young might still be able to "remove" the ugly part so they can be together...perhaps more time for her to realize not all people and not all dogs are bad... she might not know that dogs play...

She's a cutie. I'm sorry to hear about the dog aggressive problem and I'm wishing you all the best.

Erika, I understand the worry and fear well. I won't go into details, but let's just say Ivy and I understand very very well and we have our own horror stories to tell.

And I will say this: You still have a chance to keep everything stable and everybody sane. I made a commitment to Ivy, and I will not give her up as I cannot rehome her in good conscience. She has serious issues and it would be downright irresponsible for me to release her into new hands. So, in a sense, I am obligated to keep her. But you are not by any means obligated to keep Jemima, even as a foster. I know it sounds cruel, but I know what it's like to own an unstable dog in a multi-dog home and I know what it entails and I don't want you to walk into that.

If Jemima is truly dog aggressive (and I would make multiple, full assessments and enact NILIF and similar discipline regiments before deciding for sure), I would consider two things:
1) Exactly how unstable is she and to what extent and in what situations?
2) Knowing #1, can you, in good conscience, rehome her? And what type of home would she need and what quality of life would she receive with those stipulations?

But before you decide: Try to consider and understand her triggers. She sounds very attached to you. If you were with them when she attacked, it's very likely that she was fighting over you. It doesn't mean she's "dominant" or all that other fudge. It just means that she doesn't have self control, she doesn't have proper socialization skills, and she desperately needs guidance. It's workable, but Jemima may always carry an inherent risk if this is deeply biological. And it very well could be. I know this all too well, and I give you my deepest sympathies.

Sleep on it. And if you need tips on how to control these types of dogs, don't hesitate to PM me. I'm all too familiar with these situations...

Dog agression is just something that is dealt with when having a bully breed(i know she's not really yours though, i don't blame you for being scared)

Eli is seperated from my other dogs 24/7, it's not always easy but it is completely do-able.

Maybe you could try contacting a bully breed rescue in your area and see if they can take her since they have more experience in re-homing dogs with DA..

I'll crosspost this to some bully rescue people I know and see if they can help at all
do you have an email that someone would be able to contact you at?
