Aeris needs a new home, urgently.
I have been asked by my sister to help her good friends place Aeris, who is a 16-month-old, 50-pound Lab mix, and a very sweet girl. She is in Columbia, Missouri.
Before anything else, I need to be completely honest about why she is being rehomed.
During play, Aeris accidentally caused a fatal injury to the couple's younger puppy. This was a tragic accident between a larger, energetic adolescent dog and a much smaller puppy. Aeris has never shown any aggression towards any dog, and never showed aggression towards the puppy. They got along. However, the outcome cannot be ignored, and because of that, the shelter that originally adopted her out, and the local SPCA, have declined her. She will have to be rehomed privately.
Please understand that the decision to rehome has been heartbreaking for everyone involved. This choice is being made out of concern for Aeris above anything else, and for the people caring for her, who are deeply grieving. We are trying to find her a responsible placement and give her the best outcome possible.
About Aeris:

⢠Loves car rides
⢠Extremely affectionate and attention-seeking
⢠Thinks she's a lap dog
⢠Equal parts energetic runner and couch companion

⢠Still has some puppy manners and will jump up on people and lick faces
⢠Only partially leash trained and can be nervous on walks
Aeris enjoga strong, physical play. She is rough on toys and can be unaware of her own size and strength. Because of that, she should not be placed in homes with cats, small animals, or very young/small dogs.
She would likely do best with experienced people who understand large, energetic young dogs and can provide training, exercise, and plenty of attention. The owners are also willing to place her as a farm dog.
Aeris will come with her crate and supplies.
She is currently located in Columbia, MO., and can also be made available for pickup in Tulsa, OK.
If you believe you may be the right fit for Aeris, or know someone who might be, please reach out to me via message here, tell me a bit about yourself, and I can put you in contact. More than anything, she needs a safe place and a second chance.
I think we can find that for her.
Please help by boosting. I mostly exist on catblr and need to reach dog people with this.
