A year ago I adopted a 5 year old terrier-mix . My bad... I didn't check him out, just fell in love with his picture. Turned out he was 15 lbs overweight and very leash aggressive to other dogs. He was more than I could deal with and I had 3 options -- return him to the shelter, euthanize him (out of the question) or give him to someone who could deal with him. That's what I did -- gave him to a trainer who within 2 months has reduced his weight by half and has placed him in a home with kids and other dogs. He's now a happy dog. The trainer said he should have never been given to me in that condition with so much weight which I didn't know how to deal with. I called Stray Rescue several times asking advice as how to handle him with such odd behavior as not going off the porch or attacking other dogs on the street, as well as his weight. I never received a call back.
I'm now awaiting another dog. Very disappointing.
