Where to donate dogs for programs?
Hi all. Several months ago we brought in a foster with heartworms. She was found in an abandoned house with puppies. Probably not more than a couple years old. She’s a female working shepherd and/or Belgian malinois. She finished her heartworm treatment and you can tell she feels so much better. Along with that however her true personality has come out to shine lol. She’s super sweet and friendly, but she is incredibly destructive and high energy. She very much needs a high energy and mental outlet. Unfortunately we can’t give her that. I am also concerned with adopting her out to another family because they just may get rid of her if they can’t handle her either, which is how we think she ended up abandoned in the first place. Right now we keep her sectioned off in a completely bare room because we can’t trust her for even a second unsupervised and she will literally pull things of the wall to play with. For the record she has toys and her own blankets and bed but she only wants the stuff she isn’t allowed to have lol. I think she would enjoy have a job immensely. So i wanted people’s opinions on good and trustworthy programs to give dogs too, whether that’s as service animal, police, detection dog, or similar.
