A hard goodbye today

We adopted a pitbull mix in March and today I have to say good bye. Over the past few months he has become very aggressive towards our other dogs and yesterday he bit me and my fiance. After multiple attempts of trying to correct the issue we have decided its best for our other 3 dogs and safest for our two year old to return him to the adoption agency we got him from. He will be able to get better training and the attention he needs. Doc we are going to miss you big guy and we love you to the moon and back but this if for the best. #feelingsad

How sad for you. Will the adoption agency taking back? He may be deemed not suitable for rehoming, leaving them only with one option.....
Yes, they welcome all adopted dogs back. He was making other dogs lives living heck. They have fosters that will put the time in and train him. They will not put a dog asleep. We can still stay connected with the puppy.
You have done the right thing! Your other dogs have to come first because they were there first. I adopted a dog a few years ago who I was wrongly told was cat friendly. When we bought him home it was obvious he wasn't, he didn't just dislike them, he wanted blood!!! They had been with us for 12 years & so this little guy had to go back! He was thankfully adopted out to a more suitable family. It's very sad when we have to return a dog, but don't feel guilty, sometimes things don't work out xx
Well, he was actually the 3rd pup in our clan. The problem is he is the only that is being aggressive with the 1st two dogs and the 4th dog. He bit me while we trying to break up a fight between them. Im sure he didnt do it on purpose but it just could have easily been our two year old. The thing that most concerns me is once we pulled him off and settled him down he went back to starting stuff with dogs again. This guy was apart of our family and I'm going to miss him so much but I could never forgive my-self if he attacked our child, someone else or hurt another one of dogs.
Just wanted to let everyone know that Doc has found his new furever home! So happy for the guy!
