[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 hopefully ensure that it’s next home will be forever, with people who are equipped to handle all that comes with it.[/quote]

Hi OP, would you mind explaining what you mean by the dog hasn't bitten anyone [b]yet[/b]? Its so ominous - I really hope if you genuinely believe this dog to want to bite you consult a behaviorist before rehoming. It may be that this dog should not be rehomed.

As I understand it if you do rehome and know the dog to want to bite, the liability remains on you if it eventually does. With that in mind, I would urge you to please make sure to evaluate the dog objectively - if there is only a miniscule chance the dog will be able to live in society (if the owner is single, child-less, dog-less, and lives on several acres) please consider humane euthanasia.
