HOPE ATTACHMENT WORKED...
These two guys are great dogs, but we just don't have time for them anymore. They are free to good homes and they have to be separated. They aren't friends anymore. Makita is shepherd mix with OCD to tennis balls, he's very loving and loyal. Scooby is half red nose pit bull and half Rott. very playful, but probably needs to be the only dog. I hate to get rid of either of them but I have a year old baby girl and another on the way so the dogs have to go. Please p.m. if interested or call 850-496-4779.

If you cannot find anyone to take them, I would hope you would take them to a no kill shelter only. This kind of stuff saddens me.

Why do they have to be separated? Did the pit/rott mix attack your other dog?

Will do Lady D. I really hate to lose them...but they deserve an owner that can spend time with them and unfortunately with two babies, i'm not going to have that.

Hopefully you will find someone for these dogs. It's quite obvious you weren't taking care / training / disciplining them if "they aren't friends anymore". Next time think twice before you decide to get pets.

florida chaser. FYI ...I didn't bring these dogs home but I do love them just the same. It really doesn't matter under what circumstances they have to go or their training/discipline or lack thereof. I'm trying to do right by them as my situation is changing. If you're interested in them or know someone who can provide for them, then let me know. If not, well....nuff said.

Hey, sorry your in the situation you're in. I'd help you out if I could, but I've already got three, and since they are aging differently, they don't all get along so well all the time either.
I know it must be difficult to give up your furkids, but it's understandable with a year old baby and another on the way, especially if the two dogs aren't getting along anymore. I'll second ladydebubba's comment about not taking them to a kill shelter....if you find that you have to take them to a shelter, please make sure it's not a kill shelter.
Sometimes people think that dogs can't have their own personalities and that it's all up to training to see that they get along with all other dogs. I don't think that's so.. I think they have their own souls and personalities...and I think somebody might need to back off a little bit.
Good luck to you in finding good homes and with your new baby on the way.

Another suggestion I have, and I sent sunspotbaby a private message concerning this, some vets offices take in pets and try to find homes for them. I know of two that are right around the corner from me here in Memphis, and periodically they have cats and dogs both there they are trying to find homes for. And most have a cork bulletin board up where people have posted pictures of pets they are trying to find homes for, including puppies and kittens. And what better place to post a notice than in a vet's office. Everyone that comes in there are pet lovers, for the most part.

I was in a situation where I was going back and forth from West Coast to SoWal and had two of four dogs that couldn't cope with being left with a friend while I was gone. The local radio station on the West Coast had a website where people could place free classified ads. I also ran an ad in the local newspaper. I found 50 prospective homes for the dogs (they needed to stay together). I narrowed it down to a few and interviewed them. I finally found the perfect home. I still have contact with the new "parents". They feel blessed to have my "girls" and I feel blessed to have found a home where they are the center of attention (I also have a 2 1/2 year old daughter , so I understand about the time factor.)
There is a local am radio station in DeFuniak Springs that may be willing to help find a home. The have something called The Country Store, which is a swap shop from 9:10-10:00 Mon.-Sat. Their website is http://www.wzep1460.com and their p...inding homes for the dogs. Phoenix Rising

Me too! I would love a dog, but I recognize that I can't have one because I travel too much, don't have a big enough yard, and work too long of hours to take proper care of it. I seem to be hearing more and more of people getting dogs and then giving them up because they got too big, the couple broke up, etc. It's a 15 year plus committment on par w/ raising a kid!

It is a 15 year commitment. We got our black lab mix Sapphire in October 1992, she had 8 puppies in March 1994. She died in 2005 and was close to 13. And we just had Mo die on us back in early April at the age of 13. That was 15 years straight of two dogs, plus 3 years of diabetes in both and cancer in both. And taking care of a dog isn't just feeding them and giving them water every day. When they are sick, it involves way more. I know from experience. I do hope someone will take her dogs.

Thank you for posting - I need this for one of our dogs (the youngest), who then riles up our other 2, so that they forget how to act. As a whole our 3 dogs get along great but I will say the garbage truck, the ups truck and the Mosquito truck have no love coming from our yard.
When I watch the Dog Whisperer, he makes it look so easy. He even gets dogs to not chase animals.

My friend, Phoenix Rising, posted info about our dog training business. I thought I would join to answer questions etc. Unfortunately, we can't take the dogs that need homes, but I will be glad to post their pictures on our website if that might help. We have 3 rescues that we have taken into our family. We have help place a few in the past. We are glad to do what we can to help keep them out of shelters.

Next time think twice before you decide to get pets.Please be nice. You have no idea under what circumstances she got the dogs. Sometimes people have to find alternative homes for their pets. That doesn't make them bad owners.

Here, here, steel mama. I am a 25 year dog owner, with extensive information. And Dogs are like people. In that sometimes they just don;t like one another. Just like we pick our firends so do they. We just need to be supportive. Sunspotbaby could have just driven them up to bruce and dropped them on a back road. That is actually a common occurance. Sunspotbaby i know you are trying the best you can. Good Luck.
go to www.petfinder.org. this is where are the rescue folks are located so you can find a no kill to let them go to......

Actually the people that don't get rid of them when they should are the BAD owners.

We now have a man working in our office,
, but he actually is very funny. He works with problem pets during his off hours from our office. He has been doing it for years. He goes to people's homes. It's not only situations with one pet not getting along with another it is also a pet that doesn't get along with a certain person in the home. He was talking to a client yesterday and mentioned something about the first hour being $130 I think, then $70 for the second hour, etc!
