[quote=Anonymous]OP, I find it really weird that you said your son was thrilled when the dog laid its head on his lap recently, like that is a very rare thing.  That’s a red flag to me.  Your sons have been living with this dog for a year and are still not able to just walk up and pet it on the head….

My rescue dog wallows herself all over my kids on the couch, never met a pet she didn’t like, and doesn’t even bark at strangers.  She just wags her tail and goes up to them.  That is normal.

Of course, my kids know they need to talk to her if she is asleep, because she could startle and snap if woken up by a touch…but any dog could.  That’s where “let sleeping dogs lie” comes from.  And I put her in a crate when little kids visit, for her own good because no dog likes poked and prodded by toddlers.  She’s like every dog I ever owned.

Your dog sounds very unpleasant to be around and very unsocial/skittish.  It’s not typical.  I am glad she works for your family, but hopefully you can see why people see red flags.
