get ya hanky ready, hope someone out there can help him

What a mess. Tucker sounds like he just isn't up to the pressures of our world. That said, what about contacting C. Milan? I used to be one of his detractors, but his work does help a lot of dogs who have lost their confidence.
This piqued my interest because I have a Boxer named Tucker as well, and I have done Boxer rescue.
Julie

how do we get in touch with him? could always post this too him??? i dont want to give up on this dog just yet, always hope nomatter how bleak

I am deleting the duplicate posts in other forums.

Toni, do not post the same thing in multiple forums, they will be deleted.

the poor pup will most likely be destroyed if it went back there..........
maby in and out for rest of its life suffering needlessly

No this dog should NOT be returned to the rescue. The rescue obviously did a disservice to this dog and it will NOT handle this case responsibly.

There is another post on here somewhere -- about a Rottweiler rescue, i can't find it just now -- about how SOME rescues adopt out unadoptable animals. This rescue seems to be one of them, and I'm sure Tucker would just end up with another unsuspecting family.

These people admit Tucker could be a liability and are unwilling to risk anyones safety. The rescue obviously does not work that way.

Cesar Millan could probably help this dog. According to his book, he has only failed to rehabilitate 2 dogs. But, he probably gets 100 requests a day to help dogs in need. I don't know Cesar, but I'm willing to bet he just can't take on every dog that someone wants to give him.

This dog, Tucker, needs a professional who knows what they are doing. I hope for the family's and the dog's sake, that someone like this steps up and can help.

this is what i was hoping here but no such luck xxx

I really don't want to get in the middle of this but I feel the need to say something. I will not argue or debate about this, but as a moderator on this forum want you all to keep some things in mind.

1) what is going on with this dog is unfortunate BUT not at all uncommon. Ed and I get emails every single day with people who are having the same kind of issues with their dogs. In many cases, the owners of these dogs (who many times are rescues) place too much emphasis on the past experiences the dog has had instead of focusing on being a strong, confident pack leader. Dogs like this need structure and LOTS of it. Leaving a dog with separation anxiety loose is only amplifying the problems. I know what I am talking about here, having dealt with an extremely severe case of this myself.

2) while the rescue organization is not named, if it is the same organization I know of in N. Illinois they are excellent! I have personal experience with Boxer Rebound as my sister has adopted 2 dogs from them over the last 10 years. Both times they extensively interviewed her and then she had to drive up from Lexington Kentucky with her husband and kids to meet the dogs, and evaluate which dog would be best for their situation. I don't believe this organization would knowingly adopt out a dog with a medical problem and not reveal it.

If you want to help this dog, that's great. Please refrain from bashing an organization that you all don't have personal epxerience with based on an internet posting.

My Dutch came to me with some of these same symptoms and issues. I had to order a whole section of couch since he ripped it to shreds while I was in the shower and the bathroom door was open.... Then I put him in the vari kennel crate and he busted that all to shreds also.
It is a workable issue. He did not have the medical issue spoken about in that post BUT he was diagnosed with an ulcer, that in effect, he probably had for a long time and was causing him to vomit all over the place.
I got an aluminum airline crate that is smooth on all sides with bars that he cannot get his mouth around and he is gradually building crate time.
He gets worked and exercised daily and he does go to work with me.

You have to be willing to change your life and then gradually bring it back to as normal as you can get it with a dog like this. It may take a long time, but it is workable. It is not fair to the dog to allow them to live like that and if someone is not willing to do the work then I would rather see the dog put down.

I have to agree with Cindy that we tend to focus on the outlying issues rather than the main issue, which is helping this dog this time.
Yes the dog has issues, yes he needs help, however, whoever wants to help needs to let go of the anger or frustration on the dogs past and needs to be a calm, assertive and effective pack leader for the dog.
Rescues have good intentions and the better ones outweigh the bad ones.
If I thought I could get away with it, I would love to start a Malinois Rescue, however, I have alot of irons in the fire and that is not feasible for me at this time in my life.
Hopefully someday though.....

As far as the Cesar Millan contact. I'm sure he could help, if you go to his website, http://www.cesarmillaninc.com/contact/index.php , there should be where you can contact him or his staff. I'm sure they'd be interested, but who knows how many requests they get. I think, as stated before, this dog has a fixable problem, it just needs more structure and time.
