[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a mixed rescue that was written down on paper as being 3,  and with some infected ears, skin, and in need of a dental. He growled at my husband when we went to foster home, but nothing aggressive.  We took him home, started medical treatment  for skin and ears, and his dental turned out to be a 5 hour surgery.  .so infected that he was probably in real pain.  And he was about 10,  not 3. He was likely abused..evidence of past broken ribs.

Wrap to the end..yes, he loves us, trusted family members, but no one else. [b]Yes, he will bite those ( people and dogs) he thinks are threats to us. His demeanor really improved, though,  after he started feeling good,[/b] and he's living his best life with our 2 other dogs.  We keep him away from others, that's all. He does fine in a kennel that gets him -with our other dogs, when we have to travel. [b]It's not for everyone,[/b] but it's been a privilege to earn his trust and to care for this sad little dog. If we had little kids coming in and out of the house all day, no, we couldn't do it, but we are well suited to do this now. Glad we took him home.

Glad it's worked for you, but for the many debating a dog at all, you don't need to accept this if it doesn't meet your life. I've had 15+ dogs over 30 years and would not be as cool as PP. [/quote]
Yes, I indicated that if we had this dog when the kids were younger,  bringing in friends, etc., no. The rescue we worked with would  have taken him back and  rehomed. But now is a time we can do it. He's about  16 or 17 (?) now, deaf, almost blind, he sees outlines, shapes, not much else,  still very curious,  interested in things, pretty good health. He is very much loved and we have found ways for it to work.

All dogs are not for all people, and vice versa.
