A friend of a friend is moving shortly and isn't going to bring her young dobe with her. She isn't sure how long she is going to be away, could be 2 months, could be a year +. I haven't met the owner, but I've met the dog and she has a very nice temperment and gets along with other dogs very well. She is I think about 10 months old now, and unfortunately not spayed yet.
My friend and I don't want to see the dog dropped at the pound. Even if she were adopted, it wouldn't be to a good home in this area. I'm afraid she would end up a guard dog. I've contacted one local dobe resuce, but wondered if any dobe people had any ideas? This isn't my breed so I'm not sure the best contacts. The dog is currently in the Hagerstown, MD area.
I would consider keeping this girl myself, but I'm just not financially ready for a 3rd dog. Just to get her caught up on vet care is beyond my means right now. I also already have a puppy, and don't have time to train 2.
Any ideas are appreciated. I wish people would think it through before adding a dog to the household. I feel bad for the dog.
