[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Describe the aggression.

My dog is aggressive with larger dogs, not smaller or same sized dogs. I've been able to foster a multitude of dogs, all smaller than he is.

She’s bitten dogs at the vet, and now has to be muzzled. She’s killed small animals in the yard. I tried to introduce her to my dog when I got him 2.5 years ago. She tried to attack him. She slipped the leash and my ex laid on top of her so we could get out of the yard.

I know it’s crazy. I think she should be euthanized, but my daughter says no. It is her decision. [/quote]

I'm really sorry about your partner's death

This dog probably isn't unadoptable but it will be hard to find them a home. That's going to be especially hard now that shelters are so full. But dogs with a compelling story do get adopted more quickly and readily - and the story of your ex dying and the dog now needing a home is compelling. You can at least try to find them a new home this way.

You could try introducing the dog to your dog - but I feel your apprehension and I don't think you're wrong. Your first priority has to be to your existing dog.

Where is the dog now?

Can the daughter try to help place the dog, even if she can't keep him?
