I volunteer at the SPCA and if someone wants a new dog and already has a dog(s) we have them introduce the animals to each other at our site. <BR/><BR/>Even in that type of situation, you may not have foreseen this. Strider was still young, as you said. Every animal is different. A different dog may make a great companion for Max. Hard to tell. <BR/><BR/>*hug* Must have been a tough decision to make. I'm glad you found Strider a good home though.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114703391001611148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-31836942641352068112008-11-02T19:09:00.000-08:002008-11-02T19:09:00.000-08:00Everybody said how beautiful he was when you dropp...Everybody said how beautiful he was when you dropped him off.

She had become increasingly aggressive toward our older dog (another Springer) and was making his and our family's lives miserable. The final straw was when she bit my husband while he was trying to break up the 408,345th fight. We contacted the local Springer rescue organization and told them the truth about what was going on. They found a wonderful home for our girl and now, the best dog in the world (we've had him since he was 10 weeks old and he's 14 years old now) can live out his days in peace. I truly can share your pain and relief....you did the right thing for everyone involved. Hugs to you.<BR/>DeniseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-12049268113120964182008-11-01T13:55:00.000-07:002008-11-01T13:55:00.000-07:00Awww. Handsome dog too.Awww.
