It is so saddening to see LGDS jump from home to home where I live

[babsbag]

And then there is Mia...she is 6.5 months old and will be my undoing. She will make me rethink everything I ever knew about training dogs and LGDs in general. My first 3 were saints...other than chickens...then there is Mia.

Had a message earlier today.
Desperately trying to find a home for a 9 month old dumped female pyr.... She has til Tuesday or she will be euthanized.

Yep... @TAH it is everywhere.

I wish I was closer to you . I haven't heard of this being a common occurrence in my area of the country. Many of our rescues bring in dogs from the south, for whatever reason. I actually have had a hard time finding a Pyrenees up here. I'm not exactly in "farm country".

We are only halfway down the coast.

The reason a lot of shelter dogs from the south end up in the NE is because you have restrictions on breeding dogs up there
It's kind of a good thing because a lot of dogs that would be put down here get adopted

Are you going to try to find someone to take her? That is terrible.

 

[Mike CHS]

I see listings all the time around here - that is such a shame.

I don't think we have restrictions in breeding in NH. But maybe the surrounding states? I adopted my chow mix through a rescue that brings dogs from the south, I think he's from Tennessee? Best dog EVER.

Southern by choice, I so wish I could but not in the cards right now. I even tried to convince my husband that NC isn't that far! He doesn't believe me.

I live in the puppy mill capital of the country. Seriously.

I don't see many LGD here, mostly poorly bred pets. Surprisingly, many of the rescue dogs still come from the south. Many of the shelters in the south are kill shelters. Many rescues around here are no kill.

Biggest issue here is the abundance of pit bull type animals.

Trying to... Today I am calling. For LGD I would have to evaluate her for farmdog she has a better chance.
