Resource guarding me with new foster brother

I have an 8 YO Cav mix that was for a long time the singe dog in the HH. I just recently decided to foster a very non-aggressive mix that’s a little bigger than my cav-2 YO beagle mix for context.

My Cav has taken to resource-guarding me not just in food situations but in attention situations. Like, low thin warning growls and stepping in between me and the other dog when I’m cuddling the other dog.

In a food/treat situation he actually barked/snapped at the foster dog-so I’m obviously just removing/managing the food/treat situations but I’m at a loss of what to do with the other situations.

He used to do with my 1 YO cats which I was never really worried about because they would just take off and that would be the end of it.

The foster is very calm and so far has not reacted to any of this.

What can I do to curb this behavior in my Cav, and avoid actual fights and aggression etc?

Fostering a fearful/anxious ‘beagle mix’ that is also pitbull mix-hoping for advice

Hello all-

Hoping for some advice here. I recently agreed to foster a 2 YO male beagle mix, that has now been in my home for about a day. The dog is very fearful of new people/situations, but does not appear agressive.

The dog is also on Prozac, trazadone, and gabapentin (the last two are for a foster transition).

I have no experience with dog fostering and feel a bit ill-prepared for what I’ve gotten myself into-because the beagle mix is also a Pitt bull mix. This may have been mentioned over the phone but I didn’t pick up on it, and I didn’t see photos until after I’d already agreed to the foster. And once I’d agreed I thought well I’ll just see how he is in my home etc; and it’s starting to sink what I’ve gotten myself into.

Logic tells me a fearful pit bull on Prozac is not going to get adopted, so the only solution is that this dog is able to change his behavior and go off his medication at some point.

I’m a little frustrated why the shelter gave me this dog knowing I’d never fostered before.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do with this situation?

I am about to foster a very shy 2 yr old beagle mix. What advice do you have?

So tomorrow I’m picking up a 40 lb beagle mix that is about 2 and is reportedly very anxious. Not agressive but fearful, so much so that he was placed on Prozac apparently, and other than the 3 months at a previous fosters, hasn’t had a good home environment.

I have an 8 yr old cocker spaniel/cavalier mix and 2 cats and a fenced in yard. My goal is going to be to get this dog socialized nd happy, nd adopted.

Does anyone have advice? I have no experience with beagles.

Edit: puppy is home! He met my dog and immediately made friends, and after a little bit, was willing to eat out of my hand, although he’s very clearly unsure of me. Still looking very confused, and unfortunately threw up all over my backseat but now sleeping peacefully in the living room after being very watchful nd observant for bout an hour.

About as successful a first day as I could ask for! Thanks everyone for the advice and comments!

Agnes commander meeting (spoiler)

When Agnes has the meeting with Commander Creeper she says something that causes her ‘mother’ to scold her/get pissed at her.

Basically it looks like she tanked the meeting with her ‘match’ on purpose.

Why?

Also what are theories on why Commander Creeper’s first wife offed herself?
