[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Describe the aggression.

My dog is aggressive with larger dogs, not smaller or same sized dogs. I've been able to foster a multitude of dogs, all smaller than he is.

She’s bitten dogs at the vet, and now has to be muzzled. She’s killed small animals in the yard. I tried to introduce her to my dog when I got him 2.5 years ago. She tried to attack him. She slipped the leash and my ex laid on top of her so we could get out of the yard.

I know it’s crazy. I think she should be euthanized, but my daughter says no. It is her decision. [/quote]

Then your daughter needs to deal with it. Your daughter is essentially saying she prefers to have your dog killed painfully over having her father’s dog killed peacefully, and that’s not her choice to make. [/quote]

If your daughter is old enough to be signing a lease, she is old enough to find the dog a responsible home that can handle a reactive pit mix (there isn't one). If you want, you can do the kind thing and after she fails to find a home for it, be the one to take the dog to the shelter (where it will be euthanized).

But if your ex had to LAY ON THE DOG to stop it from attacking another dog, I'm sorry but it needs to be put down.[/quote]

I just saw the last page of posts where you say your daughter has an appointment at the rescue. Maybe it would be kindest for you to take the dog alone so your daughter doesn't have to be there. Maybe you can lie to her and say they said they might have a few leads.

Otherwise I agree with the other posters that if the rescue is not optimistic, the most humane thing might be a vet.[/quote]
