Bosoxfox, when you didn't post on the status of Popeye, I was very afraid that there was a problem. You did the very best you could, no question of that. I am so sorry for the outcome. I can imagine that the whole process was very painful for you and your wife. My heart also goes out to DebfromMaine who tried her very best to find this dog a good home. But some dogs are unpredictable, and sadly, Popeye seems to be one of them.
I love dogs and I want to see each and every one find a loving home. But I do believe that there are some dogs that have multiple personalities that should not be rehomed. I say this sadly and reluctantly. But I think that once a dog has been identified as unpredictable, it is wrong to put them in another home where the dog could snap, and potentially injure a stranger, a child, another dog.
It makes me thank God that we were lucky enough to get a rescue with four previous homes who nevertheless turned out to be the sweetest dog in the whole wide world.
Bosoxfox, I am so sorry.
