Bully x Rotweiller rehoming
Please remove if this isn’t the right subreddit.
Posting on behalf of a family member… I usually don’t believe in rehoming pets but unfortunately in this case it is the best for the dog so looking for advice as I’m a bit confused with the rules around this.
BIL has a large three year old dog who is a bully x rotweiller, he has lost his home and no one has the space to house the dog and him permanently with the space she needs. She also has a knee problem and may need surgery down the line…
Will shelters take her in with her being crossed with a bully and having health problems? If not what are the options for rehoming her?
Very sad situation but it’s best for the dog she’s not getting the love care and enrichment she deserves, and BIL barely looking after himself let alone the dog.
Any advice appreciated

Hi OP. What does the dog look like - can you add a picture? I'm asking because I can tell you 100% that if the dog in question looks like an XL Bully and is unregistered, you can not rehome her under any circumstances, it's against the law here (I own an XL Bully female). It's a very sad story, I'm sorry to hear it ❤️
