[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- if any of the proponents for keeping the dog want to PM me, I’ll set up a throwaway email account. Because the dog is wonderful with my husband and strangers (aggressive only with myself and my kids)- I would be willing to rehome with someone who had prior experience rehabilitating aggressive dogs as long as they knew all the risks and were willing to sign a waiver not holding us liable if he did end up attacking. If he did attack, I would also want the dog to be returned to us so my husband could take him to be put down (I would rather him be with his favorite person in the world as he is put to sleep). Let me know - if you want to help me look for the perfect person who is fully aware of the risks, I would support that endeavor. [/quote]

Hi OP - it's great that you are open to rehoming to a responsible home. I would say in addition to asking for help here, post about the situation on FB - let folks know why you are rehoming the dog and what sort of home you are looking for. (Don't use inflammatory language like "DOG WHO BITES NEEDS HOME" - you want to phrase it more realistically; let people know that your dog is stressed out in your home and you are worried around your kids; you want to give him the chance to succeed in another home, and you think he'd do best in a home with no other pets and no kids.)

Make the post shareable so your friends can share with their friends. Consider posting on NextDoor. See if your local shelter will help you network the dog, too on their FB page - they might ask you to "foster in place" (as it's called), keeping the dog until another home comes forward. But they can maybe help you find that other home.

Good luck. [/quote]

In other words, lie about the history of.aggression?

I am willing to bet none of the people here telling OP not to euthanize are going to offer to take the dog.[/quote]
