You mentioned you brother is a dog guy. Something that gets overlooked when women are trying to escape domestic violence is their pets. Many women’s shelters don’t allow pets, which leaves them in the hands of the abusers, who then use that fact and the threat or actual violence towards the pet to get their human victims to drop charges, return home, or simply out of revenge. Women’s shelters across the country are starting to recognize this but there’s still a need for people/places willing to care for the animal when the available human shelters can’t accept them. Being a temporary foster might be an option.
That’s not a bad idea only problem our BC German Shepard mix is a love whore. He will run up to our neighbors jump on them till he gets a head rub the lays on his back to get stomach rubs. Worth a shot though to kind of see how he would act around other dogs. Good tip mate.
