Help!! I need to rehome one of my dogs!!

So here's the story. In February of 2007, I went out and bought two beautiful little boxer puppies from the same litter. Both are females. Everything was going really well for about the first year that I had them. They were inseperable. But one day I get a phone call from my gf at home telling me that the dogs are fighting and she can't get them to stop. Eventually they stop and there was an obvious winner. The dog who lost the fight is named Rajah. She ended up having to get sticthes on her front leg and her neck. So we seperated them. I sent Maya aka "the agressive one" over to my dad's house(who also has two boxers) and kept Rajah at home. A month or so went by with no issues so I decided to bring Maya back home to see how things went. I let them see each other through the sliding glass door at first and they were so excited to see each other. So I put them together and everything was fine. They played together for hours. Life was back to normal. This lasted for about two months this way. Then again for some unknown reason they got into it again and the whole process started again. Maya goes back to my dad's and Rajah stays home to recover from getting her butt kicked again. But this time Maya decides to go crazy over at my parents' house and beats up their female. I was running out of options. So I pack up Rajah and switch her with Maya. So Rajah is at my dad's house recovering with my parents' dogs. But of course this is only temporary, Rajah ends up getting into a fight over there too. But my mom didn't want to worry with that so she decided to keep it a secret. She took her to the vet and kept them seperated in her house for a few weeks but it got too complicated for her. She ended up leaving one of the baby gates open and they got into it again. This time she thought Rajah was gonna die, so she called me. She's doing ok now. She's healing fine but now I don't know what to do. I have 3 females that can't be with each other and only two places to keep them. They are all fine with male dogs but they can't be with females. So i've decided to put Rajah up for adoption, seeing as how she is the one that never starts fights and always ends up just getting beat up bad. I wouldn't feel right giving away the other ones because they are a little unpredictable. This has been a very hard decision for me but i really don't see any other option. I don't have any friends or family that have houses with yards and I can't keep hiding them from each other around the house. It's too scary and there's too much potential for a mistake.

So here it is. She is up for adoption, She is a wonderful loving dog with the only downside being that she can't be with other female dogs. She is very well behaved, housebroken, obedient, loving, beautiful, and absolutely loves people. She is great with kids.

Please understand that this is not an easy decision for me and my family. We love this dog to an extent that is undescribable. But I really can't watch her keep getting attacked this way. She doesn't deserve it. I thought about taking her to the animal shelter or some kind of Boxer rescue but the thought of her spending nights by herself in an unknown place really breaks my heart. She won't understand what's happening especially because she's never done anything wrong. I can't let that happen to her if there is any other option.

I'm looking for a responsible person or family to adopt her. Someone who will be able to spoil her the way she deserves.

I'm not asking for an adoption fee, All i ask is that the person who adopts her gives her a good loving home and allows my GF and I to come visit her a few times a year.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I know i'm probably forgeting some vital information somewhere but feel free to call or text me with any questions.

Only serious inquiries please.

Don't worry, she won't get up on your car unless you ask her too.

I have a friend that works for a boxer rescue, and finds good homes for boxers. She may be able to help you find a good home.

Have you tried obedience school at all? Is she aggressive or fearful? What are the temperaments of your mom and GF? Judging by it she never seems to fight when your around so I take it she understands that you are Alpha. Either way I wish I lived closer to home from work I would love to have a Boxer. Good luck I can imagine it is hard giving up a member of the family.
