WTF
so irresponsible

Yeah, what they taught their kids...very sad. This is apalling. Poor dog.

Poor humans getting attacked by a viscious dog then guilted into keeping it alive.

If the dog was biting it’s not adoptable. It will spend the rest of its life in the shelter. It’s like prison. You should have had it euthanized.

This sounds sane, but as someone who has spend decades volunteering and working for rescues and shelters in multiple states now, I've got a secret: a lot of us who know what we're doing will adopt these "not adoptable" dogs and make fine pets of them. YOU can't do it, because you don't know what you're doing. A lot of these "problem" dogs just need better-trained handlers.

Sorry not sorry. Thanks for the free dogs!

Nearly every pitbull that maims or kills a kid was rehomed from a no kill shelter that hid the bite history and marketed it as a "fine pet"

Midnight thirty and you post this mess? This isn't fact, this is nonsense.

OP, I am very sympathetic. I can tell you are miserable. But my opinion is that surrendering should not be an option. If you can't find a way to keep this dog while you have surgery, I would urge you to euthanize. Please keep your dog from suffering.

I don't that is true anymore. At least not in the dmv

You don't say how big your dog is, but a large dog that is anxious and aggressive takes him from being a nuisance to being a danger. If you can't find a shelter or rescue that will board him for 2 months (or if you can't afford it which is no fault of yours), then I agree a peaceful and gentle end is a kindness.

Nowhere in the post does OP say her dog is aggressive.

OP, are you in the dmv?

No one said vicious. Can you read?
