Well, I have to rehome one of our family pets. She's a Redbone Coonhound and Lab mix. Awesome beautiful dog. She's way too high energy and high strung now though, and has become a walking, barking, and running battering ram of excitement to my kids though (2 & 6yrs old). She got dropped off at our place and the wife was a big 'ol softie, so she never went to the pound like she said she was going to do. That was 4 years ago. I've had enough and the dog has to go now. Summer is getting closer, and my kids won't be denied their backyard anymore.
She needs a home with space to run, or someone that would take her our hunting. She's very trainable, but our set back with training her is we just don't have the space to let her run her energy off, so training was just a time of being constantly anxious for her. I have no doubt if she had the right home with space to run, she'd be fine with kids. She's very gentle, and she will sit on command, and lay down (with "down" command), most of the time.
She's been slighty timid since we got her, and we approx'ed her age was between 6-9 months, so it obvious she had some sort of not so nice owner history, and it's stuck with her a bit at times. If you raise your voice, she'll cower instead of listen, that type of stuff. Mixing that in with a never ending energy pool, and it can become a nightmare.
Does anyone know, or is anyone looking for a good trainable friend, who may also be easily turned into hunting dog? She's very healthy, and she's also been fixed.
If not, I really don't want her to go to a pound, but if Friday rolls around I still have her, that may end up being where she goes. Does anyone know of a non kill place in OKC I could take her if it comes down to that? I've never had to get rid of a pet before aside from natural causes.
