I need pet help.

I'm really sorry that Annie isn't going to work out in your house.  Is the rescue open to taking her back and trying to find another home for her?

I dunno.... this is all kind of sudden.

Michelle is going to search out options. We picked Annie up at a shelter in Riverside Ca, we live in Bakersfield. I'm not going to just take her to the local shelter. Annie need to be in a home where she's the only pet. I'm sure we'll search out a private home for her first, then contact a terrier rescue facility if that does not pan out.

Anyone want a fluffy spaz of a dog?

Damn. 

Hope Bob's OK.....

lm's checked on Bob  He seems fine, but he's hiding under the bed and wont come out. She does not want to pull him out from under it.

It is pretty common for rescues and shelters to include a clause in the adoption contract stating that if you decide to not keep the animal they are to be returned to the same shelter or rescue.  There are different possible explanations for this (they want the money for the next adoption/make sure animal goes to an "approved" home), but some places make a real ruckus if you don't abide by that particular clause.  Just something to keep in mind.  It sounds like Annie has caused a lot of headachs already, it's be a shame for her leaving to cause even more trouble.

Pawning this problem off onto someone else is not an option.  The dog should be put down before it does damage to anyone else...opening you up to a potential lawsuit.  Sorry it didn't work, Joel, but don't just pass the buck.

Michelle has final say in all this.

I personally think she would be a good dog for somebody who has.. A: lots of time to spend with her and       B: no other pets.

And: C: someone who has the skill to deal with ingrained aggression issues.  The dog's problems won't go away with just a change of ownership, environment, etc.  The same stressors will be there, waiting to be triggered.

this sucks..... I feel like I'm sending my kid to jail

Do you ever watch Animal Planet? Victoria is awesome, or maybe I just like to hear her speak.

No really, she has great advise for bad dog habits.  It reminds me of the right things to do when my dog are bad.

Sounds like you are on the right track already however.  Good Luck!

I understand your sense of being betrayed. One of my dogs bit(a light graze really) my daughter on the cheek when she got to rough once. Needless to say he was gone pronto, but I couldn't even look at him from then until he was gone. He just didn't even look the same to me.
