Presa Canario-need to find rare breed rescue - Page 1

     I had someone pull the help my dog, or he will be put to sleep, on me today. So i picked up the 2 year old male presa, that has NOT been Socialized to good.
     I CANNOT keep him.DOES ANYONE know of a rescue group for this dog? I'm not asking for help for myself, but I NEED HELP FOR THIS DOG! thanks

Check on the rare breed site they usually have the rescues listed

I found a few in the NJ area when I googled it.  Copied them but they wouldn't paste.  You could do the same.
Good luck!  I hope you find them a great home!

         Sorry, I couldn't get my print in on the same frame for some reason.
Thanks for the help. it is looking good for cholo to go to a rare Big Dog rescue out of New Jersey, Touch of Grace Rescue called me right back, and we are trying to set up a meeting in N.J., for him to be placed.      
     the pic on the left is from the link dAWgESOME gave,(I thought "yikes"when I checked out the site. Who would have thought they worked these dogs like that), than I did google the rare breed rescues. I was a little overwhelmed at first by the lack of presa rescue, knowing I CANNOT keep this dog.

      That is Cholo on the right when I had him here last fall trying to work with him. I had him going pretty good when I returned him, only to have everything I accomplished reversed by keeping the dog locked up unsocialized again.

     I have known this dog since he was 8 weeks old. I did not want to see him put to sleep.When I went to pick him up yesterday, i had not seen him for 6-8 months. The kids at the house saying, NO, don't let him out of the room.when he heard me talking I thought he was going to take the door down. I actually was a little scared. I let him out, he instantly tried to tackle me,dragging me around by my sweatshirt. I thought holy-cow he is so big and strong. How in the hell am I going to do this? Thank god, it looks like it will work out for him.

     I spoke with a couple of Presa breeders that were appauled the breeder would not take him back. But, the woman that bred him wants no part of him,knowing when she sold him she was sending him to an apt.,owner with no yard.And, she is friends of the woman that bought him, has know for quite sometime the problems this dog was having, still offered no assistance.

        Thank You, everyone that does do rescue work, REGARDLESS of The BREED!!!!


 

Kitkat, I can't beleive you selected that photo-  That is our old dog Brutus (RIP) flying over the table to get the bite. 

Alex Vyatkin was/is proably one of the best PP traininers in the world.  We would work with him & his wife Irina every Sunday morning in Hudson WI, he has since returned to the Ukraine.  We miss him and Brutus both were very intense and a little bit crazy.

That Breeder needs to quit breeding. All breeders make "mistakes" in placing dogs. However, that was no mistake if she knew the family and circumstsnces. When you breed Presa, Pitts, Rotts, GSD, Mastiff's, and the "owners" of labs and others of the same capabilities. I think you have a responsibilty to the breed to place the dogs with the utmost care. I like living with my Rotts, and GSD's, enjoyed my Chows, know a pitt that is fun to play with. If these dogs are not raised correctly and become socially unacceptable, you think your still going to be able to breed them?

dAWgESOME,    that pic literally jumped out at me when I was checking out the site. It is truly awesome to see those dogs working like that. Was Brutus yours at the time he was being trained? That is what I am hoping cholo can get out of life,someone that is willing to love him, and work with him.

1doggie2, I shutter to think how many of the pups this woman bred have ended up in the dog pound.she obviously has no cares at all where her pups go and what happens to them.

     I consider cholo a dangerous dog right now,and if put into the wrong hands, someone can, and WILL get hurt. I have however spoken with several Presa breeders and described what I know of this dog, and his temperment with me, in the short time(s) I have had him, and it does appear he has an excellant chance for rehabilitation.

(just keeping my fingers crossed,and a few good prayers that things work out for him)
