That's how shelters get filled to over capacity!

So....it's okay to get rid of the cats, because there's "too many" and they aggravate the dog, but it is not ok to give up the dog? Who are you to tell her she has to many cats??? No matter how many she has it is her perogative.
The OP is overwhelmed and the wolf/hybrid is just adding to it. She is obviously not equipped with the know-how or ability to train an animal like this.
Blondie, I hate to disagree with you...a dog is not a dog! I've seen first hand how Kota reacts in different situations. One had better be prepared and take all pre-cautions with her. It is not that she is aggressive or nasty...but she is a master at escaping. She can scale a 10 ft fence without hesitation. She walks the perimeter of any yard and surveys like no dog I have ever seen. At 5 months she is a handful...I can only imagine what lies ahead. I do have faith in my daughter's ability to handle her, as she has had extensive training with exotics...but to the amatuer who is fully unprepared.....I wish them luck!

There's two litters of kittens! That's what most people do with kittens---find them homes.

That's right...it is a dog forum...any a good many of us have other animals as well. As in cats. The OP didn't ask your opinion about the re-homing of her cats. She asked opinions on her problem with the dog. You, nor any one else has the right to tell her what she should do with her other animals.
"Helpful" suggestions are always appreciated.

Okaaayyy, so you're the "Helpful" police! 
Seriously, your continual arguing for the sake of arguing is just making me laugh so hard! |

The OP came here for advice not to make this a cats vs. dogs forum. And I really have to laugh at your comment about arguing!
Like others have stated the OP didn't come here to be judged on how many cats or kittens she has. She realizes she may have made a mistake and is seeking a solution. I think we can all say we've made a mistake in a moment of weakness.
I think it is sad when someone comes here for advice and ends up getting judged when it is NOT necessary. And that is my 2 cents. |

I disagree with you Shelby! A dog is a dog is a dog!
Any dog is capable of training!
It is never the dogs fault.
If a dog has a responsible, caring owner anything is possible! No holds barred!  |

Of course, I agree to an extent
It is never the dogs fault....but this is a partial (or at least expected to be) a wolf-hybrid. WOLF not dog....normal, run of the mill training goes out the window. And it just appears the OP has bitten off more than she can chew. I certainly do hope the OP can work things out. It sounds like her daughter has bonded with the animal....but I'm afraid it is an accident waiting to happen. |

I would have to disagree in this situation. The dog has wolf in it. |
