Fostering a 50 pound boxer who doesn't like my 10 pound Chi?
I have my permanent dog Goober who is a Boston Terrier, a foster named Felix who is a Chi/Dash-hound and tonight I received my other foster who is a 50 pound Boxer mix. I was told the Boxer (named Zeus) was great with other dogs. Felix likes to jump and is super high energy, and anytime he goes near Zeus, Zeus starts to growl. Zeus just came from a Mexican shelter last night, so maybe its all the new people/dogs/smells. I have put Zeus in the kitchen with a baby gate blocking them as I am afraid of one of my small dogs getting injured.. Do you have any tips on how to deal with this? Since the kitchen is blocked off, I can't let my other 2 dogs out to use the bathroom.. so just to go potty is a HUGE deal since I need to put everyone on leashes.. move the boxer to another room.. let my dogs out.. then change everything around again.
