My friend re-homed her puppy. The pup, at less than 3 months, showed more and more aggressive tendencies. Biting. Growling. Attacking. And then she'd be sweet. What a hard decision it was to make.
Luckily her vet's tech works with aggressive dogs to re-socialize and re-home. She wanted a young female to work with and so my friend gave her Quincy. The tech promised she would keep the puppy if she wasn't able to re-home her.
For my friend, she'll be able to keep in touch regarding how the dog is doing. Of course she feels relieved, but also like she failed. I told her she's been a fabulous dog mom to three fabulous dogs. Not all dogs are meant to be ours. It is not our job to fit into the dog's life, but the other way around. She leads a very social life with lots of other dogs and children added to an unpredictable mix. It would be continually stressful constantly monitoring an aggressive dog.
