I think you misunderstood my reponse. Being that I am in the line of work that I am I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder when it comes to animals that people give up. I have seen hundreds of animals end up in the exact same situation that your dog did.
I am not saying you are capeable of changing a dogs personality. I am mearly noting that being a pet owner it is a lot like being a parent. I could never just take any animal I own to the shelter regardless of the circumstance. Just like I could never put any child of my up for adoption. I was in the situation once before I was a vet tech where my cat got pregnant and had four kittens. I did not want to keep all of the cats as this was above and beyond the number of cats I could care for. I found homes for two of them and ended up having to keep the other two even though having a total of four cats was to many for a small apt. To this day I still have those four cats. One of them is very destructive and one urinates on the carpet. I still have kept them all though because by being a pet owner I cannot change their personality BUT I can take responsibilty for my own actions.
