About Hope

Hope is an estimated 5 year old boxer mix. She is a medium sized dog and weighs about 45-50 pounds. She has been a part of our family for 4 years now. When I adopted her 4 years ago, she was full grown. She was a little shy and reserved. She was thin and did not have much muscle mass. Now she is a beautiful, loving, layed back and yet playful girl. She is the biggest lover and will literally lay in your lap if you let her. She is the best of both worlds because she knows how to be a couch potato inside but knows how to play outside! Her favorite thing is to play ball and she is the fastest one to chase it down. She has been on many adventures with us, parks, walking trails, the beach and always was a good girl. She never pulls on the leash(I teach my dogs not to pull and she was the easiest one to teach). She hasn't had any health issues besides she was heart-worm positive but I treated that at the veterinary hospital where I work so she is all clear with that. She is spayed and up to date on everything. The reason why we are trying to find her a new home is we feel like she needs to be somewhere where she is the only dog and no small kids. She has always been sorta quirky with our other dogs. She would snap at them for random reasons, certain things would make her nervous. I would always just be aware of that and keep a close eye on her. After all it wasn't all the time it was just every so often and not that bad. We had our first baby about a year ago and her snaps have turned into full blown fights. I know for a fact she is not dog aggressive, in fact she will share doggy chews with my little dachshund mix and plays with other dogs all the time. Our other two dogs, My neighbors dogs and parents dogs with no issue. It's just certain things set her off and it's random. Let me be clear by saying it has never been towards us just our other dogs. There is nothing wrong with her. She just needs to be an only dog. I never thought I would be in this situation because I consider animals my family and never thought I would rehome one. However, my husband and I feel we have to put the safely of our first dogs and now baby first. We love Hope dearly and this is breaking our hearts. But we just want her to go somewhere where she can have all the attention, go on walks/adventures, be a couch buddy and have all the love focused on her. We are desperately trying to find her a good place because we do not want her to go back to the shelter. We have thought about this for a month but it is still hard for us. However, we have to do the right thing for our other dogs, our family, our son and her. It's not fair for my other dogs to get beat up all the time and it's not fair for her to be seperated or kenneled all the time. Please help.
