I need to rehome my dog at this time. She has been showing some aggression towards my other dog, and my dad who lives with me is beginning to decline mentally and physically, and I am unable to keep her in my home. My other dog is a tripod and I am afraid of them fighting when I am not home causing a bad situation to happen.

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?:

She is really a good sweet girl when she is alone in the house. I recently had to board my other dog as I was away for a few days but I had a day with her just being the only dog and she did very well.
