Introducing 2 Maybe 3 Dogs

[whitka]

My housemates have an entire male staffy x pug who is abit in your face and likes to hump things, her brother who brings his dog over when we go to the beach is also jumpy and in your face but he's an entire Lab. Now my boy doesnt like dogs in his face and because of his arthrtis also doesnt like to be jumped on and isnt shy about letting other dogs know. Toby lives at my parents house and I miss him so much and he gets left out when we go out and everyone takes there dogs so I thought I would bite the bullet and introduce everyone. I know once he gets to know the other dogs he will be fine but it's just the first stage. I was thinking about introduceing Toby and the smaller dog first. The smaller dog has met CJ before and he woudlnt stop humping her

This is more so Toby can come live with me, what would be the best way to do this?

Hi

It might be worth moving your post to the rescue forums , they are used to fostering and placing all different kinds of dogs together , they might be able to help you to find a workable solution for bringing your dog home with you, but try to remember young bouncy dogs for an arthritic older dog can be a lot to cope with and the dogs you are introducing him to are adults as well would be risky if all are entire males and your old dog may well come off the worst for it , if he is fine and happy with your parents and able to stay there it may be a happier option for him in his old age

He's only 6 years old, and yes it might be a be a better option for him to stay at my parents but that means I wont get to see him as much
