4 yr old Pitbull mix in Albuquerque, NM looking for a home
Otis, My pit bull mix is such a love. However, Otis is becoming
aggressive toward my other dogs. I have talked with a vet and many other dog enthusiast and they have told me that Otis needs to be placed in a different home with someone that can work with him more than I can. We ( My mom and I) found him in a park when he was just 1 yrs old, and has grown up with my two female dogs and has gotten along with them very well. But, Otis has started to become aggressive toward my two dogs and it has gotten out of hand. Otis is a lover and loves to cuddle with people. I'm trying to find sanctuary that will work with him or someone that can give him a lot of attention and time to work with him. Being a student and working I don't have the desired time that is needed to work with him sadly. I love Otis so MUCH! But I cannot risk him attacking my two female dogs that are much smaller than he is. He is a wonderful people dog but has developed tendencies to not be good around other dogs. If anyone has any help, knows of animal sanctuary's or Pit bull rescues in New Mexico, Texas, or even Arizona please let me know! Thank you for your time and your response to my post it is much appreciated! |

You can also find pit bull rescues listed under "shelters", by state, on
www.petfinder.com There is an all-animals sanctuary in Utah.... I think it's Best Friends, but I don't know about AZ, NM or TX. Many sanctuaries and no-kill rescues go belly-up because they take in too many animals before they have really sound financial bases with reliable income, so one that is there today can be gone tomorrow. ASK questions before you turn over the dog. Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia |

Thank you for your time and your response to my post it is much appreciated! Because of Pit Bull's deserved reputation for dog agression and relatively undeserved reputation for human aggression placement of such dogs is difficult in the best of places, and Albuquerque's lax obediance of spay and neuter laws makes it not one of the best places. The city shelters are overwhelmed. There used to be a sanctuary south of Santa Fe, but I believe they have decided to focus mostly on horses. Unfortunately the rescues I knew best in Albuquerque when I was more active, seem to have burnt out. Second Chance Animal Rescue in Rio Rancho is still around and they read well on the internet. Same with PACA/AAR. I would check with them to see if they have any suggestions. -- Bill Clodius los the lost and net the pet to email |
