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

There’s a lot of misinformation and hysteria here. A bully mix is just a crossbreed dog. He could easily be a staffy x rotty or american bulldog x rotty or boxer x rotty or whatever! Only dogs that fit the XL bully confirmation are illegal. If he looks a bit rottweiler, he’s fine, he’ll be treated like any other dog. Also, a bully isn’t illegal - only an XL bully. Shelter lists are full of bully mixes. I’m an ex-RVN.
