About Pooh

Pooh is a 1 year old staffy (staffordshire terrier) mix who was dumped on the side of the road for reasons unknown at the very beginning of January. He was trapped by KC Dog Trappers and taken to KCK Animal Services. I adopted him mid February. Pooh is a very sweet and silly boy, and he loves to play and is good with cuddles! But he unfortunately has shown so much aggressive behavior and does not always play well with others. In our short time together, I've come to love him so much but he bit me deeply in his first week with us (fighting over a toy with Capit��n (my husky/lab mix)) and this summer, bit my 12 year old nephew without being provoked (it wasn't even their first interaction). Since, he continues to bark and become extremely aggressive from inside his kennel like he wants to attack my nephew. He has only shown this kind of aggression with my nephew and one other adult male, and my other dog. He has not behaved this way with my other 10 year old nephew, nor my father, nor my adult brother, and definitely not with any female family members. He has been introduced to most of my family without issue. And my first born dog Capi, who is 6, has never had a problem with another dog the way he has with Pooh, and Capi is extremely friendly. Pooh is also 45 pounds of pure muscle, and too strong and too quick for myself and my household. I have so much fear and aprenhension that he is going to seriously injure my loved ones or myself, whether intentional or not. That is not a financial risk I am willing to take. This behavior development was unexpected, especially being 4 months in, and I find that unfortunately Pooh and me are not a good fit. He is not going to have the quality of life he deserves in my home because of his aggression and because we have physical conditions that make Pooh an extra challenge for us, and downright dangerous as my parents age. Unfortunately, I also cannot afford training for him. Regardless, money is extremely tight and my availability is short and I cannot invest in training for him. Financially, emotionally, and physically, I am spent. All this unfortunately means that the shelter I adopted Pooh from also cannot accept him back, as he is 'no longer adoptable' because 'dogs that bite are no longer adoptable' and the only thing they can do is humanely euthanize him. THE LAST THING I want to do is put my dog down, but I have been backed into a corner with little alternative if no one is able to adopt him from me. I'm hoping to find Pooh a home that: -has no other pets (he needs your full attention, especially with these discovered behavioral issues) -has a stronger owner (you need to be able to handle 45 pounds of pure muscle that also moves really fast! he goes crazy over other animals and pulls on the leash. he also hates cars and will not willingly get into one so you have to be able to lift him) -i don't believe a home with small children is a good idea, again, he is strong -has the financial means to put him into aggressive behavior training -doesn't mind loud barking and whining Some fun facts about Pooh: -he is very loyal and once bonded to you he will do very great off leash and come back inside the house, he has no desire to leave -he is good in his kennel, almost never has accidents -no storm anxiety -loves peanut butter and snacks -loves toys!! any kind of toy! he's not picky about that -no other known health issues other than the behavioural ones Pooh is up to date on all his vaccines, including a heartworm prevention, he is also microchipped and licensed with KCK until February of next year! If you think Pooh would be a great fit for you, PLEASE message me! I am flexible about when we rehome him, and I would be happy to tell you more about him, answer any questions, and have him meet you and yours! PLEASE help me save his life, or I may be forced to make an extremely difficult decison I've already sobbed over multiple times. PLEASE. Share with anyone you may know who can help! We can come to a legal agreement and I am happy to give him over with dog food, kennel, toys, (no bed he ripped that up), and leash. I don't want to put him to sleep but I am low on hope. I hope someone with the means and a big heart can help me. I hate that I was put in this position but we can only stretch ourselves so far and this has reached a level I can no longer keep up with, I am only human. Please help me.
