@mmerchant It’s seems too soon for you to get a dog together.
You could start small maybe, like meet a nice small dog, dogs can be less overwhelming when they’re not too threatening.
But, even if you do get better with your fear, dogs are messy.
@roman_k You did nothing wrong. The shelter failed you.
If he’s impossible to rehome, he’s just not wired right. It was a bad idea for them to put this dog up for adoption knowing he has that behavior.
