For the Love of Dale Rescue hasn't added a story.
Meet Moe. A sweet and loving, playful 2 year old shepherd/rottweiler with a serious case of resource guarding. After 2 years in shelters with failed adoptions, Moe's time was up. Thankfully a rescue gave him another chance, pulling him from the kill list and sending him to us. Hopes were that time and training would turn this un-adoptable pup around.
With training and exercises we were able to teach Moe to obediently respond to particular commands and change some behaviours. This has made it easier to have a controlled environment and avoid his triggers. However, he is still not able to control himself once triggered, and is always a risk to those around him. Sadly, Moe is just as upset and confused after each time he's growled, lunged or bit. We KNEW he didn't want to hurt anyone, but sometimes it just happened.
Not many people are educated in dog behaviour, reading body language or in how to behave, themselves, around dogs. Myself, never living a day without a dog at my side, I have learned a lot just from Moe and continue to learn. Learning more every day and changing my own approaches, I understand that it will take an experienced, understanding and forgiving person to know this dog as we do.
In a final attempt to bring Moe to an adoptable state, I joined a support group for advice. Shortly after explaining everything I could and in conversation describing Moe further, someone stated he would love to adopt Moe. His beloved dog had been quite similar, misunderstood, now passed.
An adoption fee of $450 is still required to the original rescue who has been funding Moe daily and through vetting and training sessions he has required. This does not touch the couple thousand mark they are approaching on this single rescue. We will be enlisting the aid of charity transports after the initial $450 is acquired, to which any additional funds raised will be donated to directly.
With that being explained, For the Love of Dale would like to assist in any way we can above and beyond having had Moe with us. We would like to contribute to the person who is opening his heart to our well-deserving rescue boy. I wish that I could magically transport Moe to his forever rescuer, but funds are key.
Please help me, to help everyone involved, to save Moe.
Literally.
