Friends, this is heartbreakingly this family’s last ditch effort…. They went 5 months without incident but aggression happened again from Trudie towards the family’s other dogs💔. Please share if you know anyone looking for the most amazing Rott that simply needs to be the only dog in the home.
Trudie, approx 2 yr F/S Rott (adopted from local shelter at approx 6 month, stray). Sporadic, unprovoked dog aggression with no known trigger. Needs to be the only dog in home. Not overtly aggressive but completely unpredictable and will not be placed in a home with other dogs.
Five separate attacks on the other dogs in the home. Absolutely no known triggers. They done extensive behavioral training with separation, e collar and muzzle training focuses on aggression and anxiety. She’s been vetted by our primary vet multiple times to rule out physical issues and for medication management of aggression. Has had a behavioral consult at the University of Tennessee with their specialist department.
Absolutely zero aggression towards humans, no food aggression, no aggression towards cats or horses. Crate trained and loves her crate. Leash trained and even goes for short duration jogs. Energetic, goofy, sweet girl. Not destructive, fully potty trained. Lives on our horse farm, trained to her boundaries off leash. She has no history with children so we have no idea how she would respond to them. She is a genuinely happy dog.
They have worked feverishly to determine the root cause of her attacks on her housemates (both approx 7 yr M/C non dominant dogs) beginning last February. Unfortunately, her last attack which came 5 months after her most recent attack has left them unable to maintain her in their home.
They will provide all vet records, and their vet is willing to speak with potential adopter, will provide our trainer’s information and set up a session for potential adopter to become familiar with her training.
They are located in East Tennessee and will require a meeting prior to adoption unless going to rescue.
They’ve reached out to: Shelter she was adopted from, Midwest Rott rescue, Southern States Rott rescue and WI Rott rescue but have been unable to place her.
They are desperate to find her a better living situation as she is the best dog…. If interested, please email Brooke at [email protected] only. Please do not try to communicate about adoption via the comments. Thank you!
We just did Trudie’s first CCL surgery today, and she was a love muffin to the entire staff! We are trying to help out this kind family and dog that is full of love to give as an only dog!
