I don't believe a dog should be PTS unless it has proven that it cannot be rehabilitated. It sounds like in mistyblue's case, that dog did not have a chance, since it was living in an abusive home. Even if it gets to that point, I would give it to a rescue and see if they can help him. You are not obligated to keep him in your home, but he deserves his life.
