Our small breeder had to have knee surgery, and needs to thin her dogs down. Various ages and sexes, mostly black but some yellow, as well.

Right now, a friend is fostering a 7yo female black, that really needs a home. She can't keep her after another week.

Can provide more details if someone is really interested.

I’m fostering a pit bull right now otherwise I could have at least offered to foster until you find a home. If you know of anyone that wants a beautiful young male PB let me know.

He has shown no aggression, he needs neutered(tries humping my female dogs constantly) and is very playful as a puppy will be. He has started showing chewing tendencies but I’m working on that. This knucklehead is a slow learner though.

I still have that bag in my garage for you as well.

One of these days, brother. We'd foster her, but when she stayed the night, it became obvious that 7 dogs is one too many.

I'm considering getting a companion dog for my 10 month old female GSD to keep company with.  Would an older lab be an OK fit for that?

Two female dogs can be problematic.

True, I'd not considered that.  Katie gets along better with male dogs most of the time, anyway.

All 4 of my females get along just fine. 2 Labs, 1 GSD, and 1 French Bulldog.

I don’t have a whole lot of experience with multiple female dogs but I’ve never seen issues either. ?????

While I have also had two female dogs placed together successfully, it is a commonly known possible problem.  That is why I said “Two female dogs can be problematic.”

I have also had to put a dog down because of aggressive behavior that could have been aggravated by the two female situation (although she became very aggressive with a male also).

Two female dogs thrust together often cannot establish a stable pack order. And believe it or not, females are more likely to fight to the death than males are.

When two females are close in age, there is often a lot of competition. They will fight over several competing elements. Such fights seem to occur the most in the presence of the owner. They may fight over who walks first up a ramp of stairs or through the door, they may fight over sleeping areas, foods, treats and toys. Sometimes a cause may not be completely visible in the owner's eyes but it any case one dog may have felt challenged by the other dog and felt the need to send her back down the ladder.

Adopting a female younger dog when owning already a female senior dog as mentioned above is also high risk. The newer dog may perceive that the older dog as weak either because of sickness or weakness and may try to take over. Unfortunately, it's not unheard of such fights having a sad ending.
