Megan C. asked:Does anyone have any contacts in the San Rafael area who knows of places or someone who accepts pitbulls for a rental situation? My husband and I are most likely going to have to move to accommodate the landlord's wishes to renovate and increase our rent significantly. We have 2 pit mix dogs and are not willing to surrender them. Any suggestions or recommendations from folks who know someone would be immensely helpful. Thanks! :)Lauren D. replied:Contact badrap.org they are sometimes able to connect people with friendly landlords. Good luck!

Julie S. asked:I have a special non-rescue request. A fellow rescuer's husband is in the process of being transferred to another town. They have 6 big dogs, 5 of them are theirs 1 is a foster. I believe 3 or 4 of them are pittie mixes. The other two are boxers. They are trying to find a rent house south of the Kansas border (Coffeyville area) in Oklahoma. Their preference is to try & stay here in Oklahoma if possible. Sadly they have come up against one road block after another with their dogs. Does anyone know of any pittie friendly rentals in that area? They have had 6 different real estate rental agents looking for homes but so far they have come up empty handed. ThanksBeverly L. replied:http://www.badrap.org/renting-your-dog

B-More D. asked:Are you a pit-friendly landlord looking for tenants? Do you know of pit-friendly rental management agencies or buildings with available units? PLEASE POST IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST. We are receiving several requests a week from pit families having to move due to lease changes & pit families having difficulty relocating to MD because of breed & size dog restrictive policies since the Solesky ruling. Hope this can help some folks!
B-More D. replied:Here are some general tips & resources we hope will help pit bull families find rental housing: * Start as early as possible. Look for contingency plans (boarding, temporary foster with family or friends) just in case you do not find permanent housing by the time you need to move. * Many folks have had better luck renting from a private individual rather than a management company. * You are welcome to post a comment on our Facebook page with what you are looking for. The more detailed you can be on location, time needed by, price range, rooms needed, the more likely someone will respond with ideas. * As a "purebred pitbull" is a mythical creature, be proactive & make sure that your vet office and city/county where your dog is licensed has your dog listed as an appropriate mix. Many landlords are asking for verification. (You can do a DNA test as well, but hopefully it will not be necessary.) * Our partner, the Humane Society of the United States has an excellent page of helpful resources at: http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/protect_maryland_dogs.html * Many people have put together a dog "resume" of sorts with positive references from vets, dog walkers, former landlords, etc. & a listing of training classes and/or Canine Good Citizen certification, etc. * Some folks have found it helpful to share upfront that they have & will continue renter's insurance that will cover any unlikely incident with their dog. http://www.mypitbullisfamily.com/housing--insurance.html has some good tips. (There is a state-by-state list of pit-friendly housing, but unfortunately not many folks have shared MD options. Please do if you can!) * Many of these tips & more can be found on the site of two fabulous organizations: Animal Farm Foundation and Bad Rap: http://www.badrap.org/renting-your-dog http://animalfarmfoundation.org/pages/Housing-Insurance Best of luck!

Stephanie S. asked:I am looking to get into fostering; however my personal pet has has some behavior problems in the last couple months that he never had before. He is a bully breed and is about 2 and now is very territorial where he never was before. We rescued him when he was about 7 months from the Adams County Animal Shelter. Any thoughts or suggestions about bully behavior training would be great. Until we get his behavior issue solved I wont be able to foster. In the mean time I would love to help out in any other way. Transport, networking, events, communications etc. Is there a key role that is missing with this group? I live in the Thornton area and work in Denver. Let me know how I can be of the most help to this group.Ali B. replied:I've had some success with pit bulls who hit that wall between 18 mths and 2 yrs, using gentle leaders, clicker training and group walks. BAD Rap www.badrap.org has some great training resources and Grisha Stewart has BAT which is not bullie focused bu t helpful http://functionalrewards.com/ . They both have youtube videos on the subject. Grisha has at least one trainer in the area who is BAT certified. It's not until March but Trish King will be in town and will be addressing this at a workshop(this is common for a lot of adolescent dogs not just bullies) but she will address bullies specifically as well as reactivity and aggression in general. http://trainingwithgrace.com/events/

Haute D. asked:Alli Sara: Looking to adopt a pitbull (LOVE THEM), however our current homeowners insurance won't cover pitbulls....Anyone know of any home insurance company that would be willing to cover a house with two adorable pitbulls :) THANK YOU!Shelly G. replied:I have Farmers and they have not discriminated against my pit bull. They have 1 never asked how many dogs and what breed. I just referred another friend to them that was wanting to rent her house to someone with a pit bull and farmers ended up saving her $150 a year. Badrap.org also has a list on their website with different companies that don't discriminate.
