It seems strange to me people always want to rehome the problem one. There the ones who need the help. You have to realize with issues like that he may never find a home, could end up being put to sleep or even worse abused physically. In my opinion before giving up a dog you should try everything you can meaning trainers and behaviorists after a regular vet check. But this is becoming a dangerous situation if your bf can not control his temper because if he abuses the dog not only is Toby going to have his issues he has now but then he is going to have fear issues. In my opinion if your bf can't control his anger it would worry me to the point of not having any pets or ditching the bf because something terrible could happen when your not around to stop it and that's not fair for any dog. |

Totally agree. I cannot believe the excuses for what amounts to abuse of a dog. He is not a human, he is a dog. Your b/f needs anger management if he cannot control himself with a tiny dog. I personally would not be with a person who acted in such a manner...it is very scary to read about to be perfectly honest.
I am in Houston...if you can get your pup to me, I will take him. I have met only a rare dog that could not get along with others. What I WILL tell you is that whoever you turn him over to should be questioned thoroughly to be sure they won't just euthanize him rather than help him....although he probably won't be like that in another home. I have a feeling he is a very unhappy boy. Makes me very sad.
You probably won't like this and I almost hate to write it, but I have to. I just cannot believe the excuses you have for this. I hope you will realize what you are saying here.
