Long Term Boarding Help Needed for Unsocialized 2 Yr Old Pup
Hi everyone, I'm crossposting this from the petbulls forum.
Here's my situation: I'm subletting a room in an apartment complex with horrible & ridiculous breed restrictions for the next 2 months. My roommates and I are going to be working our butts off to find a new place within that 2 months. The problem is, I can't find anyone willing to take care of Leeloo for such a long period of time. She has behavioral issues, which I believe I posted about here when I first got her. She is completely unsocialized and wants to play with or dominate every other animal she sees. (& She can get LOUD when she freaks out.) As of yet, though, she hasn't hurt anyone. In fact, she got attacked & didn't fight back. She can try to be protective of me, also, but again, so far all bark, no bite.
When I adopted her I had no idea the extent of her behavioral issues, but I can't give her up. How in the world would I find a new home for her anyhow with her issues? I am on social security disability and I can't afford the specialized training she needs, so I've been working with her on my own since I adopted her, but it's slow going, because my disabilities get in the way. :( My low fixed income prevents me from being able to afford the ~$20/day rates which seem to be all I can find for kennels around here, even crappy looking ones. Ugh.
ANYWAY, I wanted to give a little background so folks would understand the HUGE favor I am asking. She is a handful, but there is no way I am going to dump her at a shelter. I need to find someone/someplace willing to board her for approximately 2 months. I can provide food, crate, toys, etc, and I can pay at least $200, possibly more. Oh, she is a 42 pound Mastiff/Bulldog/Daschund mix who looks like a Staffy.
