My condolences. That dog was a good companion to your mom. Wow. I have the same kind of dog & he sleeps with me too.
I wish I lived closer & had a bigger place, I'd love to help out.

A lot of animals especially male dogs have a strong bond with females & have an odd like jealousy over them & get quite protective against any male that comes along man or beast. My condolences as well OHT.

Sorry for your loss but at least she is no longer suffering. He probably needs to only be in a home that doesn't have other animals, especially a dog of the same sex and no kids. He also needs to be around somebody similiar to your mom, female and at least middle age.

My condolences! I certainly have the room but not sure how long I'll be here! I do want to have a pet buddy who bugs me once in a while,  just to break up my daily routine!

My condolences on your mother. We have a pitbull lab mix and anything with pitbull in it is going to be very protective and will find one person they really bond with. With Lola it is my four year old granddaughter Elaina. That dog follows her everywhere and if anyone even thinks about raising their voice talking to Elaina they had better think twice because they are going to be dealing with Lola as well. She was staying with me part of the time but would start whining and pawing at the door when they left so unless Elaina is over here the dog stays at their house. So my dog has been confiscated. If he has not been around children what he needs is maybe a single female living alone. He would be great protection.

Another thing to consider in finding a new home for any dog people consider "aggressive", is to let the dog choose.
I have had pits, chows, akitas, airedales, and rotties. These are all breeds that can be bad ass and not to be messed with as they are powerful and very protective.
They can be very loyal, loving companions if they are in the right environment. They are highly intuitive also. With these breeds, DO NOT ATTEMPT IN FINDING A HOME TO PUT A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE!! We are not talking about a labrador retriever.
He will make a wonderful companion to an older woman without other animals around. Give him a chance based upon who he is to be all that he can be while allowing that there are limitations to his adaptability. Making the best choice for a win/win scenario is essential. Good luck and let us all know what transpires.

I am very sorry for your loss. I know you loved your Mom very much. My Mom's brother just died and we are all sure he is in a happier place without the suffering. I am sure your Mom is too. Bless your heart. Hugs, Bunny

thanks, however I'm allergic to dogs, and do want to have sex at some point in my life again, and while he would be great birthcontrol, I'd rather risk it with the normal stuff.
Oh not to sound mean by adding this last, my condolences on your mom's passing.

I have to pass on the dog... allergies, lack of space (and money) and grandchildren.
On a personal level, my friend I am so sorry for your loss.
But I also know how difficult this has been on you for quite a while now.
I pray that she passed peacefully and I am glad that you were there with her. I believe that some how she knew you were there.
Please allow yourself to take the time to mourn.

I've already got 5 dogs here and definitely do not have room for another one. I hope you find a good home for your mom's dog. WoW offered some good advice.
