About this Dog
We have had our furbaby for 3 years now and within the last 8 months he has been aggressive towards people in and outside of our household resulting in him biting 3 of our children and a neighbor. He goes into “attack mode” when he feels like someone he doesn’t know is in his territory and for those in our household when he gets startled while he’s enjoying his bone and playing with his toys Rescues that we have applied to won’t accept him due to his behavior as he will be a liability to their volunteers and some have recommended that taking him in to get behavior euthanasia would be the best option in this situation. They were understanding and sincere although this is a really hard decision for me to make. He does not do well with cats or small children. Im desperate for any other option other than putting him down. A bit about our furbaby His name is Scrimmy (Scrim). Scrim was born on 4.2.2022 and we adopted him on 7.11.2022. He is a Shepherd/Husky mix and is an overall a good dog although he doesn’t do well with cats (we have 3) small children and has become very territorial where he has gotten aggressive a few times towards our kids and towards others in our neighborhood. He loves to play fetch but doesn’t give you the ball back so we have to play with two balls to alternate throwing them if we want a ball to throw. He enjoys walks, jogs, belly and ear rubs and gives hugs, loves his stuffed animals. He is kennel and potty trained. And he knows basic commands like sit, lay down, paw(shake), out, come, down, inside and bed. We keep him on a leash trolly when he is outside as he jumps the fence but still has access to the entire yard when he goes out to use the bathroom.
