[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, here.  Thank you for all the responses, some have been quite helpful.  I didn’t want to get into the reasons we need to re-home the dog because WHY is irrelevant to my question, and just invites nastiness.  I love this dog, but we’re just not the right family for it.  Ideally, I would help the rescue place it in a new home because I know all the dog’s issues and know what sort of environment would be best.  I don’t want it to go to a shelter, I want it to go from my home to its new forever home.  I’m going to try some other ways to contact our rescue (foster mom is a great idea!) but if that doesn’t go anywhere, I’ll try some other rescue groups.  Thank you again!

I will say, the dog has not bitten anyone (yet) and I will absolutely be upfront with all the issues to [b]hopefully ensure that it’s next home will be forever, with people who are equipped to handle all that comes with it.[/b][/quote]

[b]This is a fantasy. It doesn’t exist. Do the right thing by the dog and the next family who will have to deal with your problem and have the dog humanely euthanized.[/b] [/quote]

Pretty much this. I worked in shelters for 15 years. I thought "no kill" was humane and am now very adamantly, "you can't live in general society without risk of attack and permanent injury? This phantom owner who is going to take on an antisocial dog who attacks is elusive. Put them down."[/quote]
