I have a 12 year old husky, I’ve had him since he was 9 months old. We took him to training and he listened for the most part in his early years. Fast forward I went off to college for 4 years and my parents had him. My parents let him do whatever he wanted. After college, I brought him to my apartment to live with me. Since 2019, he’s bitten me several times, very hard to the point of breaking skin and drawing blood. I’m a diabetic so when he bites me, I’m very upset because obviously there’s bacteria in his mouth and I could get a very serious infection. He’s very unpredictable and sometimes when just petting him he will get random aggression and bite me. I’ve resorted to not petting him as often. I’m afraid to walk him as I live in an apartment complex and there’s people around. If I came into a situation where I needed to hold him to protect him or just hold him back, I’d be risking my safety as he would just bite the hell out of me. He doesn’t let me brush him. He doesn’t show teeth or growl before biting, he just goes straight in and bites very hard and multiple times. He’s bitten my ex husband, my friend, my dad and even me several times. I feel like there’s no quality of life for either of us, and I’m just waiting on him to pass. He bit my foot in the middle of the night about two weeks ago and it’s still swollen. Last night he bit my foot again and broke skin. My ex husband says im the a**hole for wanting to put him down. How am I supposed to rehome a 12 year old aggressive dog? What if he ends up in a home with a small child? I’m so confused as to what to do.
