[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, given their behavior, I would cut ties. I would just text her back, thank her for her concern, and cut off contact. I am worried for your safety here, and I don't mean from the dog.

I would see if your vet can have the dog put down gently, myself, but otherwise, take the dog to a shelter and be very clear about the history. You can't mess around. You are going to have to do the hard work here.[/quote]
If the rescue won't work with you, a vet may be the most humane option. I would be very surprised if [b]a shelter put a dog with a bite history up for adoption. More likely they will euthanize[/b].[/quote]

A warning snap is not a bite history.  The dog hasn't bitten anyone and does not have a bite history.  [/quote]

From someone that knows, if this dog goes from snapping and then bites your child that isn't good....if it bites your friends child then you really have a problem.  Not saying that you have to put it down, but then you need it back to the rescue it came from or take to the humane society and make sure they adopt to someone that doesn't have children in the house.[/quote]

I don't agree.  When on walks or even in our own yard our childless dog has been approached by children.  Or been on a crowded sidewalk or at a store.  Do you really think a future adopter will walk it with a muzzle?  [/quote]

The alternative to rehoming OP's dog that has snapped at someone or any dog that has given a warning snap, is euthanasia.  You believe that any dog that has given a warning snap to a child should be put down?  [/quote]
