I adopted a 2 year old APBT type dog from a local rescue. She was a staff favorite and they think she's the greatest dog ever. Since coming to my home, she has started running my fence-line barking at people very aggressively. I have had several friends over. Three of these friends own at least 3 dogs each. My new rescue stares at them and has climbed up them slowly on seperate occasions. I now keep her leashed when I have company over. She has not done anything "wrong," but my friends are afraid of her because she feels "creepy." I am mildly afraid of her. My three friends have told me that they do not want to be around her. My friends and I are not afraid of the breed, we are nervous about this dog. She stares too long, too intensely. She crowds me and climbs up when not leashed, so now I keep her leashed or crated. I have had this dog for 3 weeks. Obviously, I am the wrong home for this dog. I believe that if I corrected her strongly enough to stop unwanted behavior that I might be bitten. My question is, should I return her to the rescue group that thinks she's the sweetest thing ever? I am afraid, and almost certain, that they will place her in another home that is ill-suited. I have talked to them about my concerns and they say that I am reading her wrong and that I must have done something. I haven't. Do I return a dog that scares me to a rescue that thinks she's a sweet angel? I worry that she will hurt someone and that it will be my fault for returning her to a group that is ignoring spooky, preditory, or very dominant behavior. I am considering euthanasia instead of a return. What is the right thing to do?
