I work with a large local animal rescue group here in MD, and currently own three female rescue dogs, a shih tzu, a very senior Yorkie, and a new, ill mannered, hyper, unspayed 6 month old rescue I got last Thursday from Craigslist. Last night a lady I've never met called me, asking if I would take her 7 yr. old, Craigslist purchased, unspayed female Yorkie who was going through a (vet, xray confirmed) false pregnancy. She says the bitch is lactating, and carries around a stuffed toy. The problem is that the dog is being extremely aggressive to her two young daughters, attacking them w/o provocation. She claims the dog was great with the kids until 2 weeks ago when all this started. I am trying to decide if I want to take in this formerly sweet little one. What do you do when multiple other dogs live in the home? I don't want to put anyone else in danger. What would you do to facilitate getting the female through this rough time? Will it harm or help if she comes to me with the stuffed toy baby? I was up late last night reading to become informed, before I agree to take on little Miss Hormonal Cujo. I know this will conclude once she is spayed, but that won't happen for several weeks. Please, any hints, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.
