[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone ever had to give back a rescue dog? We've had ours for about a month. The dog's original owners turned the dog in to a shelter when the dog was a 9 month old pup. The excuse was that their 3 year old had allergies and the doc said the dog had to go. The dog was never fostered and was taken from the shelter to a kennel until placed with us. The rescue group did have the dog evaluated by a foster.

Fast forward to now, and the dog pees all over the house when stressed or excited and bites me and my kids. We've been working with a highly recommended trainer one-on-one, but stay positive and ignore bad behaviors until the dog learns the rules is not decreasing the bruises on my 6 year old's arms (or mine). The vet thinks the dog has psych issues and may never be a good family pet.

We've had two prior dogs from breeders we raised from tiny pups and I've never seen something like this.

I know when you adopt a dog you are supposed to see them through thick and thin, but do I have to wait until I've been sued by a playmate's parents so they can cover the plastic surgeon's bills before I say enough is enough?[/quote]
