I don't want to admit it, but I have to surrender Tommy

They can give him proper training, it's a no-kill shelter.

Unfortunately, he bit me again and now I am so scared of him, and can't get his muzzle on him.

Everything seemed to be going great, but then he started getting possessive over ME.

When people come up to say hi, he attacks me and grabs my arm, latching on and doesn't let go. It is terrifying because he weighs nearly as much as I do.

It really sucks, I feel guilty, like I failed, but I hope I can get him to a place that can help him work through his troubles.

@OldBrit thank you, I have never surrendered an animal before, but it really is out of my wheelhouse and I can't lose an arm

You did everything you could
You’re doing the right thing, you can’t keep a dog that keeps biting you
And you got him away from his previous situation

@JRVanguard @Mindful I agree, I just hope everything works out for him. They have a few other dogs just like Tommy so hopefully theyll know how to help him.

I can't stop crying while also feeling terrified that he is still in my home haha.

It's like the same feeling I had when living with an abusive man, even though I know it's not his fault
