Need Help Placing a Dog

[SouthernLion]

So I need some help finding a good home for a dog. Due to certain circumstances I have moved in with my parents for right now and am unable to give her what she needs here unless I kept her in a cage for 18+ hours a day which I do not want to do. We have been living here for a few months now and she is not getting the exercise she needs. 

I rescued Denali in February of 2013 from PAWS here in Rutherford county in February 2013. They estimated her to be 2 years old at the time. They said they thought she was some sort of shepard/collie mix. She was super friendly towards me, energetic, knew basic commands, and was a medium sized dog. She still has the same qualities today, except she has gained some weight from not getting the exercise time she needs. She needs somewhere where she can run around. She IS housebroken, but I would not recommend her being a full time inside dog. She would come inside at night with me to sleep by the bed at the house before. 

The biggest problem I'm having in finding a good home for her is her upbringing is the best way to put it I guess. For some reason, before I rescued her, something happened to cause her to be dog aggressive. She does not like other dogs, and will act aggressively towards them if she comes in contact with them. She can get used to another dog though. My parents have a Shi Tzu dog that she will actually play with now. It took a couple of weeks of constant interaction though to get her to not be aggressive towards. So it can be done, but it would be easier if she were the only dog at the home. 

She is very loving towards humans and I have never had any issues with her towards my daughter who is now 2, or my wife. She was a very good protector and my wife loved having her there since I work night shift. 

If anyone can help me place her in a good home, I would be very grateful. I really really hate to give her up, as I made a promise to her when I rescued her, but her current situation is not one that I think is fit for a dog who needs space to run around and enjoy life. . I refuse to take her back to PAWS just because of my current personal living situation. If anyone has any questions or suggestions, please let me know. I will of course be willing to drive to ensure she goes to a good home. 

Here is an attached photo that is a couple of years old.

That is a good looking dog there. Wish I could help, we have 6 dogs now, she would have a hard time fitting in.

I am sure someone will come along and help.

Thanks Red. 

I'm hoping you are right. I know it will just be difficult to find the perfect match.

Are you still in Rutherford County? Is she current on all of her vaccines? Is dog aggression her only issue? Try Big Fluffy Dog Rescue out of Nashville. I've worked with a woman who fosters for them where we live. If that doesn't work, send me a pm.
