Important, please read and understand before replying. I have a 5/6 yo tan staffyx that recently got loose and killed 6 sheep. It's never happened before, she has always been a fantasticly loyal, friendly, loving, obedient, home loving dog that has never bitten or attempted to bite anybody, including children - in fact she is loved by everybody she's ever met. I have been advised by the police, kennel staff and the farmer that the dog should be destroyed, as she now has a "taste" for it and may kill again, or attack a child in the future. No destruction order was made but I can't run the risk of another occurance. I have booked her to be put down tomorrow morning and am desperately seeking a way to avoid this. If anybody is able to help please post on here or email me - boxster-boy@hotmail.co.uk

Sorry to hear about your *****. Have you been in contact with her breeder? Responsible breeders undertake to take back any puppies they have bred at any stage in their lives. I cannot believe that because a dog has killed sheep it is now a risk to children! At the bottom of the page on the link is a list of SBT Clubs. Get in touch with them & ask about Breed Rescue Schemes. Unfortunately, they are brimming with unwanted dogs but they may be able to help you if her breeder can't or won't.
Good Luck.
PS. Just realised she is a cross - still contact the Rescue, they may be able to suggest something. She just needs to be re-homed in an area where there is no livestock. Please don't be panicked into having her put to sleep.

I replied your very last question - you revealed this two times, except there's a courtroom orderon her, you do not ought to ruin her. if you're interior the united kingdom take her to a nationwide canines defence league preserve. They under no circumstances positioned a healthy canines down, yet may no longer re-domicile her both, that is their determination yet a minimum of she'll have had the prospect. tie her up outdoors early morning and walk away. Then they could't turn you away! ensure she has water and nutrition. you may want to attend together with her till gates open yet you should disclaim shes yours. only say you've been passing and he or she develop into crying and tied up, yet no, you may want to no longer probable take a canines. If shes chipped this received't artwork! i'd cancel the vet yet get her away asap. do not rehome her your self - she may damage someones little ones and that is going to come lower back to you. enable the professionals take care of it. you may want to attempt to the contact the breeder, yet chance is they'll only say 'we under no circumstances have a subject matter, that is a few thing you've carried out' and wash fingers of it. as she a X probable no breeder come lower back besides

OMG what a terrible situation. Where would you re home her? Is she chipped? I am tempted to say if shes not chipped, tie her up outside a national Canine Defence League place - they will re-home or destroy her, as they see fit, but at least shes had the chance. They never destroy a healthy dog. Look the website up for your nearest place. You may be in for a drive and don't pull up right outside as they may get your plate on camera. Leave it til about 5. 30 am then tie her up outside securely with food and water and her toys, and walk away. You'll just have to tell the authorities you had her taken her away or she ran away - you don't know where. Unless there is a court order on you to have her destroyed you don't have to do this by law, but I wouldn't disclose where she has gone.
